Ailsa is 25% done with To Your Scattered Bodies Go (Riverworld, #1)
Yes I’m still trying to get through all the Hugo winners. No I’m apparently still not yet past the weird 70s sci fi thing for ‘free love’ showcases of misogyny.

One day soon.

I promised myself I’d finish this before the twenties came back round but I‘m really struggling to see how it’s worth the faff tbh

Ailsa is on page 2 of 318 of The Wanderer
So this one’s apparently about a lesbian wanting to have sex with a man and then drowning... but also cats in a spaceship orbiting the moon. BRING IT.

Ailsa is starting Stranger in a Strange Land
Ah, crap, this one is L O N G. Please make this better than the last or I will give up this Hugo business without making it to a decade I was alive in.

Ailsa is 2% done with The Big Time
Pleasantly surprised by how quickly I got my first female main character in my Hugo Prize winner read through - thought I’d have to wait for a good nother 30 years worth.

Ailsa is 50% done with Love in the Time of Cholera
I wish books came with a rating system. This book is rated R, for 'an awful lot of sex'.

Ailsa is starting I Love Dick
The back cover dared me to read it on the bus - I've one upped and have been reading at work. Probably one I should have gone for the kindle version of...

Ailsa is 63% done with Great Expectations
Reading Great Expectations whilst waiting for a delayed flight that had to be rebooked due to passport loss is a unique experience that I'd rather never repeat.

I wish I could just insert photos of the series of faces I've made over the past few pages.

I keep ending up in tears because of just how great it is I don't know how to deal with this level of words.

So I really wasn't expecting this to be like... Brave New World in space with centaurs, batmen, and mermaids, but I think that's what I'm getting??!?!

The goodreads synopsis of this really doesn't do the blurb justice: '... the planet its dwellers called the Well World turned beings of every kind into something else. There spacefarer Nathan Brazil found himself companioned by a batman, an amorous female centaur and a mermaid - all once as human as he.'

This feels like the birth of a serial killer, but I'm fairly sure that's not what this book is supposed to be about.
