Hey, Fam! It’s Priiiiiiiiide! That means 30 days with 30 bookreports of queer SFF. I try and make them varied, diverse, and gaaaaay.
I always try to start and end with an indigenous author. This year we are beginning with Cherie Dimaline.

#BookReports: Jonathan Escoffrey, If I Survive You. Brilliant insights into the ugly truths of race and racism. Powerful characters. Riveting, complex story. Beautiful use of language and dialects.

#Bookreports: Recommended by @mdbell79.bsky.social, I plowed through Anne Leckie's Ancillary Justice. Really struggled with it, but it won lots of prizes. What am I missing? Is the conceit of an AI that's a ship with extensions adequately developed or effective? Do the complex names get in the way?

#BookReports: Austin Grossman, Sean Stewart, Neal Stephenson. New Found Land: The Long Haul. Magic/fantasy akin to The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. More an audio play than a narrated novel. Not my cup of tea, but finished it to get a better feel for the use of dialogue.

#BookReports: First two installments of @scalzi.com's The Dispatcher. Well crafted who-done-its with amazing dialogue that capture the author's wit. Serendipity: short and light-hearted, they were a nice break from recent heavy, dystopian reads.

#BookReports: The Trove, by @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social. Combination of 'Dude with a problem' and 'Rites of passage' genres. A fun adventure across space with some excellent worldbuilding elements.

#BookReports: @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social. A Stranger in the Citadel [audio]. Great story with a surprising twist about a quarter in, strong characters, interesting ideas relevant to the moment. "You shall not suffer a librarian to live" is a bit intimidating given my background.

#BookReports: James S.A. Corey. How It Unfolds [novella]. Well written, but disappointed it wasn't an extension of the Expanse universe. A reminder that I like long-form fiction with in-depth development of characters and worldbuilding. Short stories often leave me wanting so much more.

When you read a genre novel you also want to take notes on the story including MC name and the overall plot. Write yourself a book report that will allow you to remember the book a year or two later. When you go to events you may talk about this novel.

You should always be on the waiting list for new books.
I encourage you to read one comp book a month.
I encourage you to review/book report one a month.
You won't remember the details later so be thorough. Plan on your own success by becoming competent.

Once you KNOW your real subgenre, focus in on reading a top book every month ongoing. Write yourself a book report placed in your Query file. Find out who represented the novel (agent) usually listed in Acknowledgments. Keep good notes, you will need them.

Book Reports: You should be generating one half-page book report every month. Read a possible comp book, write an internal book report. Copy out the copyright page and estimate a word count. Look up the agent, editor, publisher. Targets. #writingcommunity #booksky #bookreports #comps

I post (mostly) weekly books reports on my website on the fiction stuff I read that you might enjoy if you are a fan of sci-fi/fantasy. This week, some more Dragaera books and Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone: quillful.neocities.org/bookreports

I loved the academic setting so much I did #bookreports over the summer! 🤦🏾♀️. It’s not a bad idea! What #summer looks like for me now: Byproduct of book reports: #summerschool #summervacation #summertime

many of the #Wikipedia articles look like #BookReports written by #FifthGraders, and they probably were 😜🤓

Hey #edusky, just saw a post on #bookreports and it made me think about how schools cling to tradition. What is something that schools do because "that's how it was when I was in school," that we should strive to get rid of? I'll go first, "pop quizzes"

Today's Awesome Moment in Class: 5th graders making VR Bookreports in @delightex.com & while the stories are awesome I'm most proud of them figuring out their code on their own. Most questions of "Can you help me?" became "I got it!" before I got to them.
