Pickpick

This book was bizarre, inventive, messed up, mesmerising and original.

This is the story of two women running to and from violence, sex, past and future on a futuristic backdrop of politics and technology (set in India and Africa).

Be warned, there are some disturbing scenes and the Sci fi elements take something of a backseat.

It will have you questioning what's real and what's imagined from start to finish.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Anyone read this?

It's one of those that's in my collection and I can't remember where, when or why I bought it! It's on my bookspin this month.

Neil Gaiman recommends it, so there's that going for it 💕

Soubhiville It‘s on my TBR shelf too. I hope you like it. 4y

This is one of the 2 books I picked up at the library, and I honestly picked it just because I thought the design cover was fabulous. That aside though, I‘m only a few pages in and it‘s fascinating so far!

I am not always fully on board with the majors (National Book Award, Man Booker, Pulitzer, etc.), but more specific awards in areas like genre and audience tend to go over better. This 2014 Tiptree spec fic winner haunted me so long after reading it, and I think of it frequently. Byrne has a Patreon account, and she sends out these beautiful handmade postcards for $5 supporters. 😍 #booktober #awardwinning

Audiobook, knitting and, vino for a relaxing night in.

Annl What are you knitting? I let my knitting suffer because I like to hold onto a book but maybe I should try the audio? 8y
