LHC #205: "They can't kill us until they kill us" by Hanif Abdurraqib. Hard copy, because the e-book had like a 14-week wait. This one must get stolen a lot, they got brand-new copies in and I got one of those. I did what I do when I read something about music, which is I listen to the artist or work as much as I can as I read. This totally exposes me to things I know nothing about. It was also amusing when people would ask what I was reading, to explain to them.
"Harrow the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir. I want to read sequels a little closer to the book they're near, where available, rather than putting them on the list and reading them two years after I read the previous. So here we are. Ebook. I spent a lot of time wondering what the heck was going on, but that was by intentional. Already put volume 3 on my list, it would be cool to get to that before volume 4 comes out.
"A Desolation called peace" by Arkady Martine. Another sequel, read in the same year as book1! eBook. I love how the culture that's most similar to mine is on a space station, whereas the ones who live on the planet are somewhat opaque and confusing, and the space aliens are totally opaque. This is everything that's awesome about science fiction.
