Books read in July

With one or two exceptions, these were books were sources of FEELINGS.

Favourite cover: The Enigma Game, nut most of these covers are a good fit for the stories they represent.

Reread: “The Marriage of Mary Russell” by Laurie R. King, “Something Worth Doing” by Elizabeth and I also listened to quite a bit of Code Name Verity (by the same).

Also read: “Monster” by Naomi Kritzer.

Still reading:  A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher.

Next up: Stars Above by Marissa Meyer.

(Longer reviews on LibraryThing and Dreamwidth.)

*

Descendant of the Crane by Joan He (narrated by Nancy Wu): Princess Hesina of Yan, believing her father to be murdered, opens an investigation into his death. She’s driven by her aching grief and by her fierce desire for truth and justice -- for all her people, as well as in this matter of her father’s death. But the truth is much harder than she expects. I thought this was incredible, but sometimes stressful! Compelling characters, complex family dynamics (I especially liked the sibling relationships), intricate prose and worldbuilding, and startling twists that turned out to slot neatly in with the other puzzle pieces.

Riviera Gold by Laurie R. King: This takes place in July 1925, immediately after Island of the Mad. Mary Russell leaves Venice for Monaco, hoping to see her former housekeeper -- and discovers that Mrs Hudson has been accused of murder. As always, I love Russell's first person narration and her observations of the world around her. The historical scenery is particularly vivid: cliffs and ocean views, the Monte Carlo casino, expats with questionable pasts and connections, smugglers, Jazz Age artists, bronze casting. Moreover, it’s all relevant to the mystery Russell is unravelling. I also liked the indications that Russell and Holmes’ unconventional marriage works for them.

Fireweed by Jill Paton Walsh: A short bittersweet novel from 1969  about two runaway evacuees living on the streets of London during the Blitz. It’s very vivid, particularly the details about wartime London -- but there’s also a thread of ambiguity, because the narrator is looking back on a time he doesn’t fully remember and didn’t always understand. In the end, that becomes a bit unsatisfying, yet I like how the story allows one to fill in some of the gaps for oneself. I wish I had discovered this at thirteen -- I’d have appreciated it even more and been fascinated by the experience of fending for oneself.

Aurora Burning by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: After everything that happened in Aurora Rising, Squad 312 have been labelled traitors but they are not going to let that stop them from saving the world. This is fast-paced, with some excellent twists and frustrating developments. Sometimes the action was engaging; other times my eyes glazed over. Sometimes the multiple POV was a strength; other times I felt it hindered me from becoming really attached to anyone. Sometimes I was amused by the characters, and other times the qualities which make them amusing became irritating. I think the things I liked outweighed the things I didn’t care for?

The A.I. Who Loved Me by Alyssa Cole: Trinity is working from home after a traumatic accident when she meets her neighbour’s strange nephew, Li Wei. This science-fiction romance has mystery, humour and moments of very pointed commentary. I enjoyed Li Wei working out how to act like a human again, and the interactions with Penny, the Home AI assistant. There is more going on here than either Trinity or Li Wei initially realises, which is great --- but that reveal indicates that some important, interesting parts of this story have been glossed over. I might have liked this more if the flashbacks had been expanded.

“Monster” by Naomi Kritzer (from Clarkesworld Magazine, issue 160): This alternates between Cecily’s time in China, looking for an old school friend, and the history of that particular friendship. I don’t regret reading (well, listening to) this, but I don’t know if I liked it. It is tense and uneasy, and left me wishing I had someone with whom I could discuss interpretations of the ending’s implications.

Gravity is the Thing by Jaclyn Moriarty (narrated by Aimee Horne): This grew on me. In the end, I loved it. For twenty years, Abigail’s been sent chapters of a mysterious self-help book. The story alternates between the present, as Abigail learns more about The Guidebook, and her reflections about her past -- particularly her brother, her marriage, being a single mother. At times this story is uncomfortable but the way everything is drawn together -- and seeing Abigail make sense of her life -- was unexpectedly satisfying. Compelling. I also liked the Australian setting, the Aussie audiobook narrator, some of the whimsical parts and how Maybe The Real Treasure Was the Friends We Made Along the Way.

The Enigma Game by Elizabeth Wein: Like The Pearl Thief, this is a prequel/companion novel to Code Name Verity. In late 1940, nineteen year old Jamie is an RAF pilot in northern Scotland. His friend Ellen, a driver for the aerodrome, is staying at the same pub as Louisa (newly-orphaned, half-Jamaican), who is caring for an elderly German woman. Together they discover a way to keep Jamie’s squadron ahead of the Germans. I loved this. A powerful exploration of identity, secrets and the problems of prejudice. I was delighted (and also devastated) by how this story fits in with Code Name Verity. The bits about flying are lovely.

Hamster Princess: Giant Trouble by Ursula Vernon (aka T. Kingfisher): After Ratpunzel, Harriet’s next adventure involves magic beans, a giant bunny and a hamster who wants to form a band. There is something very soothing about making tea. You have to concentrate on the whole process, and then you have tea. Even someone as decisive as Harriet had to make tea sometimes and think things through.

Kind of Cursed by Stephanie Fournet: Millie has been dealing with a lot -- losing her parents, gaining guardianship of her younger siblings, a miscarriage and a relationship break-up. She’s decided to avoid men for the next decade. But it’s hard to avoid Luc, who is overseeing the renovation of Millie’s kitchen. Watching Millie find the support, comfort and happiness she so desperately needs gave me warm fuzzy feelings. This has the right I-need-a-hug-vibe, the right ratio of emotional hurt/comfort, for me. In another story, I might have had issues with how quickly the romance becomes a serious relationship, but the characters’ choices made sense in context.

Fall Semester by Stephanie Fournet: This romance between a depressed literature professor and a graduate student with a terminally-ill father was an interesting experience because I was aware of its weaknesses and yet it was such a compelling dose of FEELINGS that I really enjoyed reading it. I also have something of a soft spot for stories about universities -- and perhaps was feeling tolerant, knowing it was the author’s first novel. (Weaknesses included: the prose style is serviceable but bland, an odd fit for protagonists with backgrounds in literature/poetry; their serious issues deserved more focus; and some of Malcolm’s reactions have uncomfortable overtones of entitlement.)

You First by Stephanie Fournet: More compelling feelings, which kept me reading, but in hindsight, didn’t completely sell me on the age-gap or the short time-frame. If only it hadn’t largely skipped over showing the characters navigating an interesting challenge introduced in the final act in favour of an epilogue which picks up some time later! Seriously, if you’re going to throw in that particular complication, then I at least want to watch them deal with it. I’m not grumbling too much. I cared enough about seeing the characters’ situations improve, which counts for something. And what did I expect, reading three romance novels in a row?

Like No Other by Una LaMarche: Two teenagers meet in a New York hospital elevator during a blackout. Devorah is a Hasidic Jew, Jaxon is black. Devorah is not allowed to socialise with boys outside of her family, let alone anyone outside her community, but she and Jaxon keep finding ways to see each other. This was fascinating, but also frustrating -- I was frustrated with Devorah’s culture for making her feel like she would be disowned if she put a foot wrong, and also frustrated, perhaps unfairly, with Jaxon for not fully appreciating the risks Devorah faces. However I liked the ending a lot.

Biweekly Review Roundup: April Part 2

Where Am I Now?: Mara Wilson - Bought this as a fan, loved it as a reader. Wilson’s writing is fantastic, she has such a funny and relatable voice that was a pleasure to read. She tackles both humorous and serious topics and handles them very well. A great mix of essays.

Don’t Fail Me Now: Una LaMarche - As someone who has privilege I am unsure if this novel addresses it correctly, but I did enjoy reading the story. I llke how all of the relationships are unique and cultivated in very different circumstances, but how in the end family is the unifying and strongest connector. This is a topsy turvy road trip story, but do any other kind of road trip stories really exist?

Anne Frank Remembered: Miep Gies and Alison Leslie Gold - I don’t really feel I can review this one, but I can say it deeply touched and affected me. Gies tells the story of her life and her relationship with the Frank family from start to end. It’s a new perspective to read, one from outside the Annex but inside the Netherlands during World War Two. She was a very smart and forward woman, which is how she tells her story, but even the calmness and directness she uses does not mask the horror and heartbreak of what occured during that awful time.

Rookie Yearbook One: e. Tavi Gevinson - I have always heard about Rookie here and there, but I only read a few articles before this Yearbook. As a female who is going through the whole growing up/self-discovery thing a little later than the teens whom these articles are directed at, I really appreciate everything written by these lovely ladies. The topics and voices are so relatable and very helpful, so I am quite grateful to have stumbled upon this collection.

Adulthood is a Myth: Sarah Anderson - The theme of this roundup is relatable, apparently. These comics are like pictures of my life, both funny and sadly accurate. Very entertaining.

Into White by Randi Pink, read by Adenrele Ojo, from Listening Library. A gritty YA contemporary fairy tale fantasy novel set in Alabama, starring a black teen attending a mostly white high school where she doesn't fit in with her fellow students of either race, who in a case of “be careful what you wish for” magically finds herself appearing outwardly white and popular in a new reality which may not be nearly as improved as she had imagined.

A YA contemporary coming of age f/m cross-cultural romance novel set in Brooklyn, starring a fun-loving nerd from a Caribbean family and a Hasidic Jewish “good girl”, who meet by chance in a stuck elevator during a hurricane and come to understand each other, finding forbidden love blossoming in the aftermath as they try to navigate societal and cultural obstacles to be together.

Shay was defined by two things: her bond with her twin sister, Sasha, and her love of music. And Logan always turned to writing love songs when his love life was a little less than perfect. But when tragedy strikes each of them, somehow music…

INSPECTOR GADGET ¡Wowsers! " ―La frase más común de Gadget [src] "¡ No te preocupes, Jefe ! ¡Siempre estoy de guardia! " ―El otro eslogan de Gadget [ fuente ] "¡ Es el mejor agente que tengo!" "Y el único tío que tengo! " ―Chief Quimby y Penny [ fuente ] El inspector Gadget , es el protagonista titular de la franquicia del mismo nombre . Él es el tío de Penny , uno de los dueños de Brain y el principal empleado del Jefe Quimby . ] Personalidad El inspector Gadget es creativo, heroico, de buenos modales, decidido, valiente y de buen corazón, aunque también es débil, torpe, crédulo, incompetente, torpe y despistado. También tiene un horrible juez de carácter y cree que los malos son sus aliados y sus aliados son sus enemigos. Él ama a su sobrina Penny con todo su corazón y haría cualquier cosa para protegerla de cualquier daño. De hecho, cada vez que ve a Penny en peligro, se vuelve competente y se esfuerza por rescatarla y salvar el día. En general, es incompetente y se gana no solo con su simple suerte, sino también con la ayuda desconocida de Penny y Brain. El artilugio frustra  los planes diarios del Dr. Claw , a menudo con ayuda secreta de Penny y Brain. Los dos momentos más cercanos en que Gadget llega a capturar a Garra es durante la introducción del teaser donde entra en la guarida de Garra y esposa un guante de señuelo, solo para que le explote una bomba en la cara; y también, y una vez en una persecución de coches de alta velocidad, donde casi atrapa el MAD Mobile con la Garra de gadget (del episodio " El Amazonas "). Sin embargo, esto pretende demostrar que el Dr. Claw siempre logra escapar de la justicia y que su rostro nunca se ve. En los primeros episodios, él es bastante competente y Penny solo se entromete, pero desde tiempo extra, se convierte en el idiota torpe que conocemos y amamos. Apariencia Inspector Gadget Evaloution La evolución del inspector Gadget En la caricatura original, Gadget tiene el pelo negro y liso que sobresale de ambos lados y una nariz grande. Lleva un impermeable Mackintosh gris claro y un sombrero de trilby con una franja gris más clara en el centro, pantalones azules, zapatos grises claros y guantes marrón oscuro. En las películas de acción en vivo , no lleva guantes ni pantalones azules. Durante la era de Maurice LaMarche, su impermeable y su sombrero son de color gris oscuro. Sus guantes también son amarillos. También es más delgado que en la caricatura original. En el reinicio de 2015, lleva el mismo atuendo que en la serie original, pero a diferencia de otras apariciones animadas de Gadget, está modelado con las cejas. Gadgets Gadget tiene una amplia gama de Go-Gadgets a su disposición, los gadgets conocidos aquí enumerados como tales: Prismáticos Prismáticos : Prismáticos más abajo de su sombrero y sobre sus ojos. Gadget 'Brella: Una mano que sostiene un paraguas que sale de su sombrero. Puede ser utilizado como un paracaídas. La mayoría de las veces, se caerá rápidamente cuando use su 'Brella cuando se vuelva del revés. Gadget Coat  / Gadget Airbag: Su gabardina se infla cuando tira de uno de sus botones y le permite flotar, en el agua o en el cielo. Casi siempre se desinfla al ser perforado, lo que lo hace disparar a través del cielo cuando se libera el aire antes de caer desde una gran altura. Sin embargo, en "Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno" (Episodio piloto, Temporada 1), Gadget se refiere a él como "Dirigible de Gadget". Gadget 'Copter  /  Gadget Chopper : Hélices de helicóptero que salen de su sombrero y que le permiten volar. Gadget tiene una segunda unidad de "Recambio" disponible en caso de fallo (episodio 9). Tanto en los dibujos animados como en las películas, ocasionalmente se rompen. Gadget Cuffs: Un esposas sale de su antebrazo justo por encima de su mano. Manos de gadget : varias manos mecánicas pueden salirse del sombrero de Gadget. Estas manos sostendrán a veces varios objetos, incluyendo una cámara, un ventilador motorizado, un foco, un abrelatas y otras cosas útiles. Por supuesto, hay ocasiones en que también sostendrán algo inútil o inútil para la situación. Una mano extra aparece de la parte superior del sombrero de Gadget. Armas de gadget / Piernas de gadget /  Cuello de gadget : Su cuello, brazos y piernas pueden moverse telescópicamente y extenderse a grandes longitudes. Incrustado en su mano izquierda hay una manivela que puede usarse para retraer el brazo (episodio 1). Se muestra que sus piernas contienen mecanismos de resorte para aumentar su zancada. Top-Secret Gadget Phone : un teléfono en la mano. El auricular está en su pulgar, mientras que la boquilla está en su dedo meñique. Este es uno de los pocos dispositivos que no está activado por voz; En su lugar, el Jefe Quimby lo activa llamando a Gadget. (También hay un teléfono regular dentro del sombrero de Gadget). Gadgets Skates  /  Gadget Blades : los patines salen de la parte inferior de sus zapatos. A menudo es muy torpe y lucha por mantener el equilibrio en los patines. Más adelante en la serie, intenta agregar sus propias modificaciones en forma de cohetes que salen de los lados. Estos tienen incluso más fallos que la mayoría de sus dispositivos en sus primeras apariciones. Gadget Springs : Un resorte sale de su sombrero, lo que le permite rebotar, generalmente cuando se cae de cabeza y golpea su cabeza contra el suelo. Sus piernas también pueden extenderse con resortes, que usa a menudo para saltar y aterrizar. Él también tiene manantiales en sus zapatos. Trivialidades Su atuendo se parece al del inspector Clouseau de la franquicia Pink Panther . Además, en el episodio piloto, Gadget tiene un bigote que tiene un aspecto similar al de Clouseau. Esto fue rápidamente eliminado para evitar una demanda por parte de MGM. Los gestos del inspector Gadget también parecen inspirarse en el personaje de Maxwell Smart, interpretado por Don Adams (el actor de voz original de Gadget) en la comedia de espionaje de los años 60 Get Smart . En la película de acción en vivo , Gadget trabaja en Riverton, Ohio, como un guardia de seguridad llamado John Brown, que intenta sin éxito en algunas ocasiones postularse en la academia de policía. Es solo después de ser herido de gravedad a manos de Claw y convertirse en un cyborg que es admitido en la fuerza policial. El gadget casi siempre usa la misma gabardina, guantes y gorro en todo momento. Pero en muy raras ocasiones, se ha demostrado que usa otros trajes en su tiempo libre. En la caricatura original , el nombre real de Gadget nunca se revela, pero está implícito que su apellido real es Gadget . En la película de acción en vivo, su verdadero nombre es John Brown . En la caricatura original, el profesor Von Slickstein le entrega sus artilugios . En la película de acción en vivo, es Brenda Bradford . En Gadget Boy & Heather  (que muchos creían que se trataba de Gadget cuando era niño), Gadget fue convertido en un cyborg por Myron Dabble . En una tarjeta de comercio, se revela que tuvo un accidente al deslizarse sobre una cáscara de plátano. Aparte de eso, sus orígenes nunca fueron revelados. INSPECTOR GADGET Wowsers! " -The most common phrase of Gadget [src] "Do not worry, Chief, I'm always on guard!" -The other slogan of Gadget [source] "He's the best agent I have!" "And the only uncle I have!" -Chief Quimby and Penny [source] Inspector Gadget, is the titular protagonist of the franchise of the same name. He is Penny's uncle, one of the owners of Brain and the chief employee of Chief Quimby. ] Personality Inspector Gadget is creative, heroic, good-mannered, decisive, brave and good-hearted, although he is also weak, clumsy, gullible, incompetent, clumsy and clueless. He also has a horrible character judge and believes that the bad guys are his allies and his allies are his enemies. He loves his niece Penny with all her heart and would do anything to protect her from harm. In fact, every time she sees Penny in danger, she becomes competent and strives to rescue her and save the day. In general, he is incompetent and wins not only with his simple luck, but also with the unknown help of Penny and Brain. The contraption frustrates Dr. Claw's daily plans, often with secret help from Penny and Brain. The two closest moments in which Gadget manages to capture Garra is during the introduction of the teaser where Garra and wife enter a decoy glove, only to have a bomb explode in his face; and also, and once in a high-speed car chase, where he almost catches the MAD Mobile with the gadget Claw (from the episode "The Amazon"). However, this is meant to show that Dr. Claw always manages to escape justice and that his face is never seen. In the first episodes, he is quite competent and Penny only intrudes, but from extra time, he becomes the clumsy idiot we know and love. Appearance Inspector Gadget Evaloution The evolution of Inspector Gadget In the original cartoon, Gadget has straight black hair that protrudes from both sides and a large nose. Wear a light gray Mackintosh raincoat and a trilby hat with a lighter gray stripe in the center, blue pants, light gray shoes and dark brown gloves. In live action movies, he does not wear blue gloves or pants. During the Maurice LaMarche era, his raincoat and hat are dark gray. Your gloves are also yellow. It is also thinner than in the original caricature. At the restart of 2015, he wears the same outfit as in the original series, but unlike other animated appearances by Gadget, it is modeled with the eyebrows. Gadgets Gadget has a wide range of Go-Gadgets at your disposal, the known gadgets listed here as such: Prismatic Binoculars: Binoculars below your hat and over your eyes. Gadget 'Brella: A hand holding an umbrella that comes out of his hat. It can be used as a parachute. Most of the time, it will fall off quickly when you use your 'Brella' when it turns inside out. Gadget Coat / Gadget Airbag: Your raincoat inflates when you pull one of its buttons and allows it to float, in the water or in the sky. It almost always deflates when pierced, which makes it shoot through the sky when the air is released before falling from a great height. However, in "Winter Olympics" (Pilot Episode, Season 1), Gadget refers to him as "Gadget's Dirigible". Gadget 'Copter / Gadget Chopper: Helicopter propellers that come out of your hat and allow you to fly. Gadget has a second "Spare" unit available in case of failure (episode 9). In both cartoons and movies, they occasionally break. Gadget Cuffs: A wifes comes out of his forearm just above his hand. Gadget hands: several mechanical hands can get out of the Gadget hat. These hands will sometimes hold various objects, including a camera, a motorized fan, a spotlight, a can opener and other useful things. Of course, there are times when you will also hold something useless or useless for the situation. An extra hand appears from the top of Gadget's hat. Gadget Weapons / Gadget Legs / Gadget Neck: Your neck, arms and legs can move telescopically and extend to great lengths. Embedded in his left hand is a crank that can be used to retract the arm (episode 1). It is shown that his legs contain spring mechanisms to increase his stride. Top-Secret Gadget Phone: a phone in your hand. The headset is on your thumb, while the mouthpiece is on your little finger. This is one of the few devices that is not activated by voice; Instead, Chief Quimby activates it by calling Gadget. (There is also a regular phone inside the Gadget hat). Gadgets Skates / Gadget Blades: the skates come out from the bottom of your shoes. He is often very clumsy and struggles to keep his balance on the skates. Later in the series, try to add your own modifications in the form of rockets that come out of the sides. These have even more failures than most of their devices in their first appearances. Gadget Springs: A spring comes out of his hat, allowing him to bounce, usually when he falls head first and hits his head on the ground. His legs can also be extended with springs, which he often uses to jump and land. He also has springs in his shoes. Trivia His outfit is similar to that of Inspector Clouseau of the Pink Panther franchise. In addition, in the pilot episode, Gadget has a mustache that looks similar to Clouseau. This was quickly eliminated to avoid a demand by MGM. The gestures of Inspector Gadget also seem to be inspired by the character of Maxwell Smart, played by Don Adams (the original voice actor of Gadget) in the spy comedy of the 60s Get Smart. In the live-action film, Gadget works in Riverton, Ohio, as a security guard named John Brown, who unsuccessfully tries to apply at the police academy. It is only after being seriously wounded by Claw and becoming a cyborg that he is admitted to the police force. The gadget almost always wears the same gabardine, gloves and hat at all times. But on very rare occasions, it has been shown that he wears other suits in his spare time. In the original cartoon, Gadget's real name is never revealed, but it is implied that his real surname is Gadget. In the live action movie, his real name is John Brown. In the original cartoon, Professor Von Slickstein gives him his gadgets. In the live action movie, it's Brenda Bradford. In Gadget Boy & Heather (which many believed was Gadget as a child), Gadget was turned into a cyborg by Myron Dabble. On a trading card, it is revealed that he had an accident while sliding on a banana peel. Apart from that, its origins were never revealed.

19, 25, 26, 40 and 140 :)

19. How I feel right now

Tired. Very very very tired. I drove nearly four hours today, and it was utterly exhausting.

25. Tattoos and piercing i want

??? All???? idk, I kind of would like to get my ears pierced again, and there are several tattoos I’d like to get. I want to get a little like bouquet of lilacs, lavender, and violets on my upper arm, and maybe a little world map on my calf, and a little thing that says “bite me” on my butt? Because I’m cheeky? (oof that was a bad pun I’m so sorry) there’s just a lot of things that I want. A little computer screen showing a heart for all of the friends I’ve made on here?

26. The reasons I joined Tumblr

I was bored. I started this account because I accidentally deleted my old one, and I think I started the old one because I kept seeing posts everywhere and I was like “why don’t I just get these from the source and find funkey fandom content lmao” so…. yeah. biggest mistake of my life that’s turned out decently, I’ll be honest.
