Welcome to Litsy!

Sorry @SkeletonKey I fell behind on reading TEoFaS. I caught the flu last Friday and it took another 3-4 days until I felt somewhat normal. I‘ll be devoting this Friday and the weekend to, if not finish the book at least be further along than where I‘m bookmarked at.

Finished the first book today. Funny how it‘s both ahead of its time but also very dated in its discussion of gender. It reminded me of when I tried to rewatch Queer as Folk... at the time it was revolutionary but I forgot about the sexism.

I love the world building in this, I could get lost in that forever, but somehow I had forgotten about women being cast aside. Still a good read.

Must take a break before the next one.

I‘ve read a few books by Storm Constantine , but somehow never gotten around to reading the Wraeththu mythos, her most popular work. I‘m joining @SkeletonKey in reading through this trilogy.

The reread begins. I realized it‘s been over 20 years since I read this the first time. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO. Swallowed up by who knows what.

@AnansiGirl is joining me in this read as well.

Welcome to my Storm shelf, it is woefully incomplete.

Just found out that one of my very favorite authors passed away this week and I don‘t even know what to do with myself. 😭 I always hoped Storm Constantine would come to the US someday but I never got a chance to meet her. Ugh, such an influential author to my younger self. Must do some epic rereading now.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 22 #bookstoread #tbrpile

Tagged by @Booksnchill for #cult5. I'm not sure if "Cult" has meaning in the age of the internet but these are 5 that had an impact on my life and a small but fanatical following at the time. They may or may not qualify!! Honestly, I could pick a hundred but these were close at hand.
