#FinishedReading a story of a Malaysian American woman returning to Penang with her parents and getting tangled up in the local ghosts, spirits, and gods. The dialogue is mostly Manglish (Malaysian English) whose distinctive syntax makes for quite a fun reading experience; I suspect #ZenCho has dialed it back a fair bit to keep it readable for non-Malaysian readers, mind. #Bookstodon @bookstodon

En la última entrada del análisis de #Lamujerdeterracota de #ZenCho analizo las #creencias y #costumbres que hay a lo largo del #relato y cómo se entremezclan entre lo occidental y lo oriental.

I finished #reading the anthology "The Best of World SF: Volume 1", which is edited by #LavieTidhar, today.

I think my favourite #ShortStory was "If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again" by #ZenCho

An imugi, having waited patiently for thousands of years, tries to ascend to dragonhood, only to fail multiple times – often because of humans.

It decides to eat the last one to foil its plans – only to discover that they have common interests. #ReadingRec #Literature #Fantasy

“The truth about Sharanya, of course, and what that meant about Jess. That was still the worst.”

“They’d set her up to have a life different from theirs, free of the hardships they’d had to endure. The result was that almost all her troubles were exciting new troubles, beyond their skill set to address.”

“She was no longer used to seeking help from her parents. It was simultaneously true that they had given her everything she had and were the reason she could do all she did, and that they were unequipped to deal with 90 percent of the problems she had as an adult.”

I should have been in bed an hour ago. But a few weeks ago, someone on this app suggested a book called #BlackWaterSister by #ZenCho

Very good #book! Not sure who recommended it, but thank you! I really enjoyed it!
