Name: I prefer to go by Althea Pronouns: she/her Age Group: OLD. (okay, I'm 50) Dealbreaker(s): the usual: racism, homophobia, transphobia
I Recently Finished Reading: "How To Keep House While Drowning" by KC Davis. I inhaled it in one sitting A Book I Want to Reread: The entire Artemis Fowl series, but especially The Atlantis Complex Some Published Titles From My To Be Read List: "Dragonflight" by Anne McCaffrey - the all_worlds_of_mccaffrey group has inspired me to read one of her novels for the first time A Book Not-Yet-Published I'm Excited About: Um, don't know? Perhaps whatever John Scalzi is working on next... I like his books Related Book News I've Got My Eye On: MURDERBOT. I need to reread the first novel and the rest of the series. I'm seriously thinking of subscribing to the streaming service so I can watch the series.
My All-Time Favorite Book(s): I don't have one? Though Madeleine L'Engle's books were very formative for me when I was kid My Favorite Book Genre(s): Science Fiction, Fantasy, Romance, manga (though it's been a while since I've read any manga) A Book I Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): for Romance, I highly recommend "The Countess Conspiracy" by Courtney Milan. It is rare that I call a book perfect but I really do think that one is. A Book I Don't Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): Um, nothing comes to mind A Genre I'm Interested in Trying Out: Well, I'm reading a non-fiction book for a book club I'm going to be joining, which is a bit unusual for me, so hey!
Books/Genres I'm Interested in Discussing/Chatting About: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Romance, but really probably anything. My goal is to just READ MORE. I used to be a really voracious reader as a kid and into early adulthood, but that has really dropped off. Anything to encourage me to read more would be good, because I do miss it, and I feel rather sheltered because I'm not exposing myself to many new things.
