My BookWyrm 2024!

Funniest book: It's a tie between The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff and Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland. The first is hella feminist and is set in contemporary north India. The latter is hella queer and is set in a fantasy version of the Caribbean (gay pirates!)

Best scifi adventure: Echo of Worlds by M. R. Carey

Best thought-provoking scifi: Julia by Sandra Newman

(Scifi is my main genre so I have to divide it up)

Best non-fiction: The Balfour Declaration by Jonathan Schneer. It has the best writing imo. Closely followed by Late Victorian Holocausts by Mike Davis.

All of these books are good; if I don't like a book then I usually don't finish it and am even less likely to review it.

My bookwyrm handle is just @SallyStrange@bookwyrm.social! I will probably be posting about even more books in 2025, as I've now really gotten into the habit of using Bookwyrm.
