Reading project, week ending 5 February 2023

What have I read this week?

Something Is Killing The Children Volumes Two and Three by James Tynion IV, Werther Dell’Edera and Miquel Muerto

This is a graphic novel about Erica Slaughter, a woman who is killing monsters who kill children. I liked this; I like the style of the art, and I found the characters and the story really interesting. I would definitely read more by this author.

Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl by Andrea Lawlor

This is a novel about Paul,a young gay man who is able to transform himself from male to female at will. I found this interesting as a concept, but couldn’t really relate to the story or the characters. I might read more by this author.

Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters

This is a novel about a trans woman, her detransitioned ex, and the ex’s cis girlfriend. I found this interesting but it was quite heavy going emotionally. I would probably read more by this author.

The Lesson by Cadwell Turnbull

This is a science fiction novel about an alien spacecraft which arrives in the US Virgin Islands, and the effects of that on the people living there. I enjoyed this; it was an interesting take on alien invasion and I liked the setting and the characters. I would definitely read more by this author.
