A tired bookseller. Posting about my own collection, the books donated into my work and my bookish thoughts. (32/F)

I've been taking the Goodreads reading challenge seriously this year as it does help me stick to goals.

But this new one, Literally Summer, is a fuckin train wreck. Its got a couple of horror and mystery but majority of it is all romance and literary fiction. I imagine that other people are gonna struggle with this.

I have been expanding my reading genres this year but there is absolutely nothing on this list that I want to read. Romance on its own does not work for me.

Who'd of thought that a full list of book titles with Summer in the title would be so fuckin boring.

I’m reading Annie Bot and I had no idea what the book would do because the synopsis is kind of vague but I’m 100 pages in and this is like the most captivating panic attack I’ve ever had

Dr. Alan Hart helped pioneer the use of chest X-rays to diagnose tuberculosis. Hart was married to a woman and practicing medicine in San Francisco in 1918 when he was outed as a trans man by a former colleague. Dr. Hart was chased out of town on the back of headlines like “Girl Poses as Male Doctor in Hospital" (he was not posing, of course) and spent much of his life moving from town to town to escape various forms of transphobia. Hart was also a novelist, and wrote of one of his characters, "When it came to outrunning gossip he found he couldn't do it," which was Hart's experience as well—he moved seven times in nine years all around the U.S. in search of safety, but it always proved fleeting. He did manage to get a graduate degree in radiology, though, and helped show how chest X-rays could show very early signs of tuberculosis, thus allowing patients the opportunity to rest and get adequate nutrition sooner, which contributed to better outcomes. Chest X-rays continue to be an essential diagnostic tool; mobile chest X-ray machines that can be carried via backpack now serve rural communities, so Hart's popularization of this diagnostic method continues to save lives.

“And if she dies here, then everything else in my life is for nothing. The world can just crumble apart, drift into the sun for all I care. Without her, nothing means anything.”

This is very much not a lovestory, and yet it is, I fear, the greatest lovestory Stephen Graham Jones has written in his career 🫩
