A USA Today bestseller. The "I love Murderbot!" ―Ann Leckie. Artificial Condition is the follow-up to Martha Wells's Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award-winning, New York Times bestselling All Systems Red. It has a dark past―one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself “Murderbot”. But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more.. Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don’t want to know what the “A” stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue.. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks…. The Murderbot DiariesAll Systems RedArtificial ConditionRogue ProtocolExit StrategyNetwork EffectFugitive TelemetrySystem Collapse

Hey there party people and disco dancers!\
\
May is ESEA heritage month in the UK, AAPI month in the US, and Asian heritage month in Canada, so this month’s updates will have a lot of Asian and Pacific Islander content…\
\
First up, some niche AAPI recs- books I don’t see others talking about nearly enough!\
\
The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water by Zen Cho\
\
\
\
A fun, queer novella about a nun who joins up with a group of bandits. This was the first Zen Cho I ever read and I became an instant fan.\
\
The Nameless Restaurant by Tao Wong\
\
\
\
A cosy fantasy novella about a retired mage who runs the best restaurant in the world, hidden in Toronto, catering to humans and magical folk alike. As he prepares amazing food and customers eat the best food of their lives, a plot begins to brew among the patrons. Very light on plot but great for foodies!\
\
Beating Heart Baby by Lio Min\
\
\
\
A YA romance between a Korean-Japanese trans boy and a Filipino-Latino boy who connect over anime and music. Both deal with their painful pasts as their friendship blossoms into something more. I love this tender book.\
\
Kapaemahu by Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu\
\
\
\
A children’s picture book and short animated film telling the story of four Mahu, with both male and female spirits, who bring healing arts to Hawaiʻi from Kahiki\
\
Stitched to Skin Like Family Is by Nghi Vo ( short story in Uncanny magazine)\
\
https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/stitched-to-skin-like-family-is/\
\
An incredible, emotional spec fic story about a seamstress with the ability to see visions through clothing, looking for her lost brother\
\
Current reads:\
\
I’m halfway through Dragonfruit by Makiia Lucier and loving it. Lucier is an author from the Pacific Island of Guam, and wrote Year of the Reaper, which I adored.\
\
\
\
This is a lush, vibrant fantasy about a young dragon hunter unhappily allied with a pirate to chase down a magical dragon egg.\
\
I’m also trying to make my way through all the Murderbot books before the new TV show comes out. I’ve nearly finished book 2: Artificial Condition. \
\
\
\
I love the way the Murderbot books discuss gender, identity and human connection (often unwanted). So fun. I loved the trailer and I’m excited for the show.\
\
And I’m halfway through Black Water Sister by Zen Cho, a fantasy about a queer Malaysian-American woman who moves to Malaysia and is haunted by her snarky Grandmother.\
\
\
\
Her grandmother is hilarious I love her.\
\
Just finished\
\
I finished Augmented by Kenechi Udogu. This was a fun dystopian / climate sci fi book with a Black British-Nigerian lead.\
\
\
\
The plot was fun and the climate spec fiction elements were fantastic, and I loved the London setting. It did fall down a bit for me towards the end though, a plot point felt shoehorned in and didn’t feel like it quite fit. But overall I had a lot of fun. This is out in July.\
\
I also want to mention that Wicked Flavors by Azalea Crowley, one of my favourite authors, just came out this week.\
\
\
\
This is a brilliant horror romance about a Filipino-Hawaiian doll maker with autism, who makes a deal with a creepy-yet-alluring antiques dealer (who’s also mixed heritage). This couple were fantastic, they really made each other worse and I loved it. It’s hot and gory and creepy and I was thoroughly entertained.\
\
Azalea is also Kanaka Maoli, so this is potentially one for AAPI tbrs.\
\
\
\
And I LOVED Caribbean folklore poetry novel (S)kin by Ibi Zoboi\
\
A Black girl wishes for freedom, from her soucouyant mother, from their fireball powers. A mixed heritage girl hates the burning beneath her skin, the secrets, the lies... Felt like it was written just for me\
\
Here are some books I’m hoping to read this month:\
\
Tokyo Ueno Station by Miri Yu (lit fic novella by a Zainichi Korean author)\
\
\
\
Song of Silver Flame Like Night by Amélie Wen Zhao (fantasy inspired by Chinese mythology)\
\
\
\
A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna (cosy fantasy follow up to The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches). I blurbed the advance proof copy!\
\
\
\
Thanks all folks!\
\
Be excellent to each other,\

Reading Slump Update (Reading Slumpdate?)
Time feels like it’s just going by and everything is grey and what do you mean it’s May 30??? On the one hand maybe something spectacular breaks me out of this and on the other i don’t want to start anything in this mood and risk not giving it the chance it deserves 😭 Stardust Grail was a nice change of pace and it helped that i had a friend reading it at the same time and it’ll be nice to chat with Book Club about Tempest as well. 📚
