Replying to @evanurquhart.bsky.social

Rowling *never* writes about women’s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about women’s actual concerns or needs None

This is ragebait so not directly quoting it, but the question misses the point: studying those topics trains you to THINK, which ia something EVERYONE needs to know regardless if you use those specific skills.

Kapittelfestivalen dag 3 inntrykk: • den vestlige verden må høre om erfaringer fra "indigenous knowledge", men også ta et oppgjør med hvem vi omfavnet og beskytter når det kommer til ytringsfrihet #booksky 📚💙

så har vi bedre sjans å ikke knekke helt når noe fælt skjer • mansplaining er så utrolig irriterende at det blir virkelig hysterisk morsomt (no pun intended) • flokkdyr er fine, interessante og undervurderte - heia sauen og generasjonshukommelse

• byfugler, spesielt måker kommer alltid til å være med oss og jo mer vi vet om dem, desto bedre kan sameksistens fungere • Palestinakonflikten er så dypt tragisk og urettferdig • livet er ikke kun lykke og harmoni, når vi forstår mer at å være ulykkelig er ok her og der, 📚💙

Kapittelfestivalen dag 2 inntrykk • mennesker som forbyr bøker, leser ikke. Mennesker som leser har bedre forutsetninger for å forstå verden, også de aspektene rike og mektige personer vil skjule #booksky 💙📚

• Kitty Kielland har så mye flere sider ved henne! • historiske romaner krever mye respekt og Tore Renberg er helt rå på research • romance-genre er mye mer enn rom-com og smut • sønner og fedre og deres forhold har mye dybde som er vanskelig å beskrive. 💙📚

Men fasit må vel være at det er digg å kunne ha sitt eget rom for alenetid • islandsk svart humor er noe jeg trenger mye mer av i livet mitt For en variert, interessant og kjekk dag denne torsdagen har vært. Er vel ingen tvil at min leseliste bare blir større og større💙📚

Kapittelfestivalen dag 1 - inntryk: • jeg vet alt for lite om Alf Prøysen og må definitivt lese Bjørn Hatterud • vampyrer er noen av de mest tilpasningsdyktige metaforer i fantasy • comics er undervurdert som litteratur og nå ligger boken Genderqueer signert på leselisten #booksky 💙📚

• Sex i litteratur kan føles riktignok pinlig, men til syvende og sist er det helt normalt å inkludere det som så mange andre aspekter i livet #kapittel

Over the last week there has been a tireless effort to tackle the ongoing wildfire in the Cairngorms National Park. While encouraging progress had been made thanks to immense support, unfortunately the fire threat has been growing at RSPB Abernethy following a change in weather conditions.

June reads 10/10 💙📚 #booksky D.L. Jennings - Days of the dark ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Days of the dark is the third and last instalment in the Highglade series and brings the epic to an end. .

it doesn't take too long to get invested in all the stories fractions and their conflicts with each other. I think that is Jennings strength by giving all the characters their own distinct voice and makes it therefore easy to follow along.There are a lot of twists and chapter-cliffhangers,

Ulrike
@uli2912.bsky.social

maybe a bit too many to enjoy them thoroughly. It certainly gets you flying through the chapters and in the end, all the twists make sense. I really liked the somewhat bittersweet ending that gives a hopeful feeling for the Highglade and its surroundings

Where "The Gift of the Shaper" was building a world with different races of beings and introducing the main characters, and "Awaken the three" pushes you into the wider world and conflicts through many different POV's, this book binds it all together.

Ulrike
@uli2912.bsky.social

Jennings has created so many different races, creatures, gods and villains and he did it with a lot of soul and heart poured into them. Although you get tossed around lots of different perspectives and different locations with very short chapters,

June reads 9/10 💙📚 #booksky Tor-Håkon Gabriel Håvardsen - Linchpin (norwegian) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dette var ekte varer! 9 (vel, 8,5?) noveller full av skrekk Linchpin er gjennomgående nydelig skrevet

Ulrike
@uli2912.bsky.social

og alle noveller hver for seg har noe unikt spennende ved seg. Håvardsen har et utrolig talent for å dra deg inn og skaper en uro og ubekvem følelse med ord. Her trenger man ikke altfor mye visuell fantasi

@uli2912.bsky.social

for å kunne dypdykke i angst og spesielt tredje novellen Katarsis sitter veldig dypt hos meg - så dypt at jeg fikk ordentlige mareritt natten etter jeg leste den. Anbefales på det sterkeste for alle skrekk-elskere!

All three women have their story to tell, and those stories are riddled with horrors, violence and abuse. And those three women are connected deeper than you think.While the storyline is exciting, the magic system very elegant and unique,

Ulrike
@uli2912.bsky.social

it is the slowly creeping character building that got me hooked. Jemisin writes so mysteriously without you noticing and it keeps you wanting just one more chapter all the time. Absolutely recommended

The fifth season is a fantasy sci-fi mix with a very unique world building. This somewhat dystopian world is struck by natural disaster a lot, be it volcanoes, tsunamies, earthquakes - the earth is angry and can only be managed by certain humans, Orogenes,

who have the ability to sooth and prevent those disasters.The Orogenes also have the ability to kill or harm other humans and are therefore forbidden, hunted or shunned when not completely controlled by Guardians. We follow three women. Essun, a mother with orogene abilities
