NOVEMBER READING WRAP-UP
TELL ME TUESDAY is a floating feature, depending on your reading style, where you tell us what you read last, what you are reading now, what you will be reading next from your tbr pile, and why. I am curious why people read what they read, so tell me!

I originally posted this last Tuesday, but had to revert it to a draft because the formatting was all off. I would fix one thing and Blogger would mess something else up. It's taken a week to finally get everything in place. At least I hope after I publish it everything will still be in place. Ha ha. Plus I have Covid for the third time this year. Ugh. If there are any typos please ignore them because I am so over this post right now.

My second Sci-Fi Month title. Another book that took a good long while to get going. The back half was interesting, however, it needed a HUGE coincidence and a couple of good-sized plot conveniences to move the story forward. Also the science elements were not seated in any sound theory. Even in Science Fiction, if it's set on Earth, the science needs to be compatible with the physical parameters on this planet.

Greg from Book Haven, myself, and Liis from Cover to Cover buddy read this story for Sci-Fi Month. In a nutshell, from me, if you are expecting the book to deliver what it says in the Goodreads summary you will be disappointed. That being said... I'm pretty picky when it comes to Science Fiction in both books and movies because it's my favorite genre and I'm also old(er) and have seen and read a lot of what's out there, and so I have more of the good stuff for comparison.

I loved this book to the moon and back. She had the cojones to point out there's a difference between gender and biological sex, that the term "tomboy" doesn't mean you are transgender, and call out hipsters for their empty and sometimes detrimental "cultural sensitivity immersion" activities, among other things. She also showed her success as a comic came from HARD WORK and paying her dues. She abhors people who sit on social media complaining they don't get paying gigs. She explains when you are first starting out you probably won't get good paying engagements. You have to prove yourself first. Club owners are not trying to get entertainment for free, they just want to make sure your routine will pull in return customers whose business will in turn pay for your hire. It's the same for the music business. Her story is humorous, angsty, poignant, and heartwarming.
