Es ist bei weitem nicht das Schlimmste, was in der Datei (Kleine Anfrage 21/1235) zu lesen ist, aber schaut wohin die Reise gegangen ist, seit der 2024 Kritik am Internationalen Literaturpreis von Othmann und Liebert ⬇️ Bin gespannt wie der Staatsminister für Kultur und Medien reagieren wird.

Love to spend the first week of January putting together my "new books of the year" calendar. I did collect information over the past year, sorted through these, looked at my favourite publishers etc My personal list has 168 titles (lol) but here is a short version: haveyouread.de/30-new-publi...

30 New Publications in 2025 I Am Excited For

Over the past years my preview lists have become more and more extensive and putting together these kind of posts incredibly time consuming (so I never even did my list for the second half of 2024)…

haveyouread.de

I know January is almost over but nonetheless here is my list of books published in the first half of 2024 I am excited about.

50 (+ more) Books 2024 (January – June)

This is my incredibly extensive list of books I am excited about or highly interested in which will be published in the first half of 2024. As always, the publications date might be a bit all over …

hello! I've compiled a list of 2024 books I'm anticipating from women of color & here it is, a bonanza of novels, essay collections, memoirs, & more electricliterature.com/75-books-by-...

75 Books By Women of Color to Read in 2024 - Electric Literature

We couldn’t be more excited for these highly anticipated books to hit shelves in the coming year

Finding it increasingly jarring that so much presumably realistic contemporary fiction these days takes place in an alternative universe in which the pandemic never happened

Bluestockings Cooperative is an indispensible feminist bookstore in NYC. It's been a fantastic community space for as long as I can remember. Now it's facing eviction because the store is providing Narcan — and they've actually saved lives!. Please do what you can to help. Details below...

In all honesty we did not think this story would have such reach! Some ways to support 1️⃣ donate to the shelves (bluestockings.com/free-store or www.paypal.com/US/fundraise...) 2️⃣ check out our members program (withfriends.co/bluestockings) 3️⃣ just spread the word we exist 🩵🩵

Very thankful that you can choose in the settings "alt text required before posting". I always want to include alt text (obviously) and usually, by now, it's an automated part of the process of posting. But just now I got distracted and would have posted without alt text. But fortunately I couldn't!

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec15 Carl de Souza's Kaya Days (transl. by Jeffrey Zuckerman) had been on my reading pile for a while and I finally read it. This Mauritian book follows a girl for a night looking for her brother amidst the uproar after a musician had died in police custody.

#24BooksIn24Days I decided to make my own reading advent calender and put 24 slim(ish) books I already own on a stack and plan to pick one a day and read it. Let's see how this goes. I'll share some thoughts on each book here.

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec14 Miss Major Speaks, which consists of conversations between Miss Major (a Black trans revolutionary as the subtitle says) and Toshio Meronek, is another great book Verso published this year. We really need all the books by trans elders we can get.

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec13 Did continue my way through Jasmine Walls' work and read the first book of DC's Vixen: NYC. I am not a huge DC reader but this was very entertaining (and loved the art). Will pick up more of this series.

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec12 Yesterday I read Deborah Levy's The Cost of Living. I didn't love this as much as many seem to do - but I deeply identified with her e-bike enthusiasm 😅

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec11 Monique ("Lesbians are not women.") Wittig's essays (newly published in German translation by Benjamin Dittmann-Bieber and Arabel Summent) written in the 1980s/90s are deeply thought provoking. Yes, there are things I'd criticise but there is a lot to gain here.

There is a current publishing scandal: a white 2024 debut author made Goodreads fake accounts to not only upvote their own book but also gave 1 star reviews to a bunch of fellow 2024 debut novels - all by BPoC authors. SL Huang shared infos on these latter books - and they sound incredible.

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec8 This year in July Marga Minco died at 103. Her debut Het bittere kruid ("Bitter herbs") from 1957 tells about the occupation of the Netherlands in episodes about a Jewish family. The protagonist is the only one who survives in hiding. The story is very close to Minco's own.

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec7 I recently read Jasmine Walls latest graphic novel, Brooms, which I loved so I looked for more of her work. The Last Session is a wonderful comic about a group of queer friends trying to finish a last D&D campaign before after college graduation they won't live close anymore.

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec6 Love and Money, Sex and Death by McKenzie Wark is an incredible memoir in letters. In conversation with texts/ thoughts/ art by many other trans people (in particular woman and femmes), McKenzie writes about grief, late(r) transition, political struggles, philosophy. A joy.

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec5 Communal Luxury: The Political Imaginary of the Paris Commune by Kristin Ross might be the first full book I have read on the Paris Commune and while it was really interesting it was also pretty dense and I think, I should have read a different introduction first.

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec4 "aufgeschrieben" by H.C. Rosenblatt is a very special German-language book, and a hard one to read. It's about immense violence and its repercussions, about loyalty and parental figures, about disableing systems, dissociation and survival.

#24BooksIn24Days #Dec3 The graphic novel Cheer Up! Love and Pompoms by Crystal Frasier and Val Wise is just a cute story (though tackling some hard topics) about friendship, ascerting yourself and kindness. Central is also a love story about two girls (one being trans). Heartwarming read.

#InternationalDayOfDisabledPersons On my blog I published a guide on non-fiction, fiction and poetry books (and some other rescources). I will update the guide continuously.

Guide: Books on Disability/ Chronic Illnesses/ Neurodiversity/ etc.

This is a living list with works which deal with disability and/ or chronical illness and/or Deafness and/or neurodiversity and more. It’s about disability rights and movements, about ableism…
