I am not great at book clubs either, so I only show up to mine (which is a young adult one) every 2-3 months, and I hardly ever read the book. But it is nice to meet smart ladies who like to read in real life, so it's usually worth it.Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-56061083110277430212017-03-01T12:12:25.630-06:002017-03-01T12:12:25.630-06:00I think Lovecraft probably wrote other books that ...I think Lovecraft probably wrote other books that were good, as he's so famous, but even he did not love this one and I don't think he edited it to completion - I believe it was published after his death.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-440335290868158902017-03-01T12:11:44.440-06:002017-03-01T12:11:44.440-06:00Ooh, which book was that one?Ooh, which book was that one?Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-55223207547094550892017-03-01T12:11:27.604-06:002017-03-01T12:11:27.604-06:00I had The Fox Woman on my Amazon wish list for YEA...I had The Fox Woman on my Amazon wish list for YEARS and never got it or tried to read it but I think I shall try now!

Perhaps it's time for a new reading project, er, another new reading project. *giggles* And I will try to reread the Lovecraft version first, if only to appreciate the layers of her retelling...Buried In Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808249065026802365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-17568676279140417452017-02-28T09:08:06.264-06:002017-02-28T09:08:06.264-06:00I love the idea of a feminist science fiction book...I love the idea of a feminist science fiction book club - how cool!

I haven't heard of the author before.<br /><br />I read a sci-fi book recently where I was pretty sure the main character was a POC though the descriptions were subtle, but one of the book covers definitely made her look white, so I was uncertain in the end.Christy (A Good Stopping Point)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07197508098706711940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-69059490197774683532017-02-27T13:56:33.737-06:002017-02-27T13:56:33.737-06:00This one sounds awesome on so many levels.

I have some sort of vague idea that she writes a lot of animal-based fantasy. Which I am not very into.
