Reading update

I had a leisurely dinner at Panera and read two novellas on my nook. They were both diverse fantasy DRM-free ebooks with LGBT characters.

The Water That Falls on You From Nowhere by John Chu
A short story with lovely writing. Kind of magical realism, as water falls from the sky when you tell a lie.

Burning Girls by Veronica Schanoes
Jewish mythology fantasy that is very sad but sooooo good. It's also a fairytale retelling of Rumpelstiltskin (highlight to see the spoiler). I loved this even though it didn't have a happy ending. Go get it, it's still free!

Still slowly making my way through Uppity Women of Medieval Times by Vicki Leon. It's cool and I'm learning about so many kickass ladies from history, but her tone is a bit flippant and gimmicky at times (saying that a politically ambitious Chinese concubine had a rival Shanghaied, for instance. No.). Still recommended.
