🧵 Ihr wollt unsere Geschichten – aber nicht unsere Sichtbarkeit? Ernsthaft?!
Ich bin so mĂĽde davon.
Wirklich.
Immer wieder kommen Journalist*innen mit der Bitte: „Erzähl uns deine Geschichte. Erzähl uns, wie es ist, mehrfach diskriminiert zu werden. Wir wollen deine Perspektive. Die ist so wichtig.“⬇️

This one has been sitting on the back burner for a little while. I think it's its time now.

A tasty tidbit from my latest story, "Miz Fortune's Lonely Hearts Salon," in the brand new gay own voices anthology:
He sat back to admire the results of his labors, spreading his fingers and waving his hand in the air to admire the glitter of jewelry. He’d created Faye as a way to escape the pain, and she had taken on a life of her own. Her lips spread wide in thrilled anticipation.
“Miz Fortune has arrived.”

Happy #Valentines Day in celebration- I offer a blog about romance books that feature diverse characters, mostly in response to the saddest list I ever saw from Goodreads (thanks @wendypalmer )for the push. I’m sure I missed some good ones so- let me know! #bookrecommendations #bookreview #romance #bookstadon #microreview #diversevoices #ownvoices #bookblog https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2025/02/happy-valentines-day-lets-talk-romance.html?m=1
I just backed the "Shades and Silver" #audiobook #kickstarter to enable this anthology of #fantasy stories about #disability, #unicorn-people, and belonging, brought to life by a human narrator and not just on #Audible but on Libro-FM and #Libby as well (which is why it needs the #crowdfunding). 55h remaining and you can help make it possible - please do. #OwnVoices need to be heard! #bookstodon @buchstodon @bookstodon #ShadesAndSilver #fantasynovels #lgbtq #queer #quiltbag

Was ist eigentlich #TianXia? Mehr als ein exotisiertes #Fantasy #Fernost aus China und Japan, ist es ein von der Vielfalt asiatischer Kulturen inspirierter Kopntinent der #Pathfinder2e Welt #Golarion, von #OwnVoices geschrieben und derzeit von #UlissesSpiele als #LostOmensTianXia Weltenband im #Crowdfunding auf #GameOnTabletop. FĂĽr alle #pnpde Fans ist der weitgehend systemneutrale Weltenband ein Muss - ich selbst habe auch zugegriffen: https://www.gameontabletop.com/cf3711/pathfinder-2-tian-xia.html

G. Deyke reviewed Failure to Communicate by Kaia Sonderby (Xandri Corelel)
As one of the only remaining autistics in the universe, Xandri Corelel has faced a …
[Adapted from initial review on Goodreads.]
3 stars
There's a lot to love about this book: the characters, the worldbuilding, the diversity, the quality of representation, the found-family vibe.
The one thing I feel it fails at is immersion - which is interesting, as it stands in stark contrast to several other autistic-voiced books I've recently read. It's worth noting that with all of those, the deep immersion and emotional intensity made them, at times, difficult to read. Failure to Communicate, by contrast, feels a lot lighter. It's a fun read. Depending on what you're wanting at the moment, that could be good or bad: light and fun definitely has its place, especially when deep and hard-hitting is too much to handle.
My edition also had a distinctly noticeable number of typos. It certainly wasn't unreadable, but I did find it distracting: it could definitely have used another round of proofing.

Selling points: #OwnVoices autistic narrator; nuanced characterisation; diversity in both the human and non-human subsets of characters; bi and polyamorous representation; respectful handling of mental illness even in a villain; found family; anti-fascist vibes.
Warnings: some typos; sequel-thirsty ending; sometimes Xandri makes bad decisions and you have to watch the consequences of her mistakes.
