Jenny Hamilton Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

I read such a fun book this weekend -- The Shamshine Blind, by Paz Pardo. an absolute weirdo of an SF alternate history where emotions can be transmitted in dyes and Argentina is the world's superpower. it's a lil noir mystery. I had a ball with it. https://t.co/Ai0xnOmh1k https://t.co/bNxzJLPkrd

the most important thing I learned from Roald Dahl is when Matilda tells Lavender that the Trunchbull gets away with the stuff she does by making everything "so completely crazy it's unbelievable." truly one of the things that made sense of the Trump years for me

it has everything! dramatic gay reunions! too many stairs for your injured leg! Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island (which IS a queer book if you've viewed the prequel text, Black Sails)! strong drink! relationship drama! birthday candles! a romantic car ride! wow!
