Gersande La Flèche started reading Les disparus du Clairdelune by Christelle Dabos
J'ai relu le premier tome d'un trait, qui est un bon exemple de ennemies to lovers-I-mean-still-ennemies-jk. Ça fait des années depuis que j'ai lu cette série pour la première fois, il y a des passages du premier tome qui sont restés gravés dans ma mémoire, qui est bon signe. J'espère que le deuxième tome sera similaire.
Gersande La Flèche finished reading Le consentement by Vanessa Springora
Lu d'un trait ce matin.
Livre qui bouleverse. La cruauté et la violence sont d'une banalité écœurante, encore aujourd'hui.
J'ai apprécié le récit de l'intervention de Denise Bombardier en 1990.
À lire, absolument à lire, mais en sachant qu'on se prépare à brailler.

Gersande La Flèche started reading Easy Money by Ben McKenzie
So @leifur mentioned this book to me last year and I forgot about it until I was rewatching a video on YouTube that mentioned the O.C. and had Ben McKenzie in the included clips, Leif mentioned the book again and now I'm going to read it. (I know, I know, I'm supposed to be reading more fiction, lalalala, this is fine!)

Gersande La Flèche commented on Socialism or Extinction by Ted Reese
I've been jumping around a lot. Read the first couple chapters after the introduction, bits of chapter 5, bits of chapters 8 and 9, and am about to read chapter 16, the "Hemp Chapter."
This book is frankly a bit on the disappointing side. Needs more commentary on the "extinction" or climate/environment side of things. Also from time to time, it's hard to pinpoint exact passages, there are moments when a worrisome lack of awareness of disability solidarity/justice rears its head and undermines his arguments.
I'll probably read chapter 16, then the post covid-19 update (is Reese a covid denier? My own digging on the subject left it kind of up in the air) and then shelve this book, admittedly half-read, but I have other things to do.

Gersande La Flèche wants to read At The Trough by Laurent Carbonneau
Really excited to read this, found it through this fascinating interview on the Hatchet with Laurent Carbonneau.
Gersande La Flèche wants to read Countess by Suzan Palumbo
Wait, the key words used to describe this are incredible:
queer, Caribbean, anti-colonial sci-fi novella, inspired by the Count of Monte Cristo
DANG I want to read this. @leifur have you seen this?!
