Yes, people have differing opinions. Yes, we're not all going to like the same books. That's great. But some of the reasons were "read 2 pages; hated it." Have we become so used to the same old shit (20 something creatives with shitty bfs who live in NYC) that something new seems odd? CAN WE NOT EXPAND OUR HORIZONS?? @bookstodon

When I worked in a bookstore, I was an asshole about books (oh noes, reading ! You are terrible!) but I got my ass handed to me because we should be celebrating that people ARE and not gatekeep what they are reading. I'm not spending my time reading crap as I define it or "literature" which is pretentious crap. I have thoughts about this topic and many others around this topic. @bookstodon

My friend Emily Drabinski is the incoming president of the American Library Association. She has been named by the Montana State Library Commission as the reason they are withdrawing Montana from the American Library Association. This is bullshit.

The ALA issued a statement about this which is all about ALA. Emily deserves our support. Please join me in signing this letter in solidarity with her and her work. Thank you.

You do NOT have to be an ALA member or work in a library to sign this petition. However, if you align with Emily's politics (outlined in the letter), then please sign it. https://bit.ly/emilydrabinski @bookstodon

A friendly reminder: I am always open to more suggestions for my spreadsheet of space opera by cisgender women, trans, and binary writers! There's a handy form on the main page. Use it!

Otherwise, enjoy the list!

@shaunduke Catherynne Valente's literally named SPACE OPERA which came out in 2018. Sequel(which I don't think is out yet) is SPACE ODDITY. Is Space opera mixed with Eurovision. @bookstodon
