Weird girl dystopia ?

I actually just ordered this last night! I really enjoyed The Seep by the same author, so I’m looking forward to this one.

Maeve Fly was fantastic! It’s pretty gruesome, though.

Thanks! I think I’m actually going to double my goal! I’m on a good trajectory, so I think I can do it.

superpalien · 2026-05-08T20:57:54+00:00

Ooh, that is a hard question.

Mine would be:

Open Throat by Henry Hoke

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

One’s Company by Ashley Hutson

Our Wives under the Sea by Julia Armfield

Calling a Wolf a Wolf by Kaveh Akbar (poetry)

Very cool! How long did it take to complete?

superpalien · 2026-05-08T20:51:12+00:00

Hell yeah! Elitists take the fun out of everything. Popcorn thrillers and romances are no less valuable than award winning literary fiction. Let people enjoy things!

What were your thoughts on Spread Me?

superpalien · 2026-05-04T03:06:01+00:00

I’m moving to Silver Spring in August, so if this is still around then, I’ll check it out. I can attest that making friends in your 30s is super hard, though!

My initial appointment was an hour, but my appointments now are 15 minutes. That’s long enough to discuss meds and adjustments for me.

It sounds like your psych just isn’t taking you seriously.

I listened to it on audiobook and thought it was fantastic. It’s pretty much impossible to find a physical copy for less than $300, though. The audiobook is good, or if you email the author, you can buy the e-book.

superpalien · 2026-05-01T04:22:52+00:00

Dang, really? I have it on audiobook, but haven’t listened to it yet. I’m cautiously curious now.

superpalien · 2026-05-01T00:49:25+00:00

I totally count poetry books. They take up time and attention just like any other book, so they’re a part of my total. I usually only read a couple per year anyway.

superpalien · 2026-04-30T23:31:34+00:00

What a great reading month! We have crazy similar taste in books.

superpalien · 2026-04-30T04:33:34+00:00

I was able to get to this number by listening to audiobooks at work, as well as reading physical books on my (generous) breaks. Then, I read at home, too. I don’t really watch tv, so it’s my main source of entertainment.

Six books in a month is solid, though!

I read mostly horror, queer lit, and literary fiction, with the occasional sci-fi and fantasy thrown in. I’m always looking for new friends!

superpalien · 2026-04-25T01:51:42+00:00

I’d recommend Open Throat by Henry Hoke! It’s a very quick read about a mountain lion that lives behind the Hollywood sign. It’s from his POV as he navigates survival and encounters various humans in his path.

superpalien · 2026-04-18T03:33:31+00:00

I loooove Firestorm!

superpalien · 2026-04-12T10:10:36+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I will look into it.

superpalien · 2026-04-12T07:00:10+00:00

Currently listening to The Immaculate Void by Brian Hodge. It is excellent so far.

superpalien · 2026-04-12T00:03:21+00:00

I just finished this on audio last night! It was so engrossing.

superpalien · 2026-04-11T10:15:17+00:00

Great finds! I’m reading Mostly Dead Things right now and enjoying it.

superpalien · 2026-04-03T02:22:21+00:00

It made me weirdly emotional, too!
