165. More Than Human by Theodore Sturgeon

🦊Sci-fi (though I'd argue it's genre-defying) written in 1953.
🦊Explores how religion fucks girls over, how a "found family" can be as challenging as the one you're born into, and the challenge of being different in a homogenous society.
🦊Telepathy! Anti-gravity! Evolution!
🦊Highly philosophical.

164. Upgrade by Blake Crouch

🦊Solid sci-fi action, set in a future where gene-manipulation is strictly regulated (for good reasons?).
🦊I don't want to spoil it, so let's settle for simple: The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
🦊Gene editing! Family feud! Sacrifices!
🦊Fast paced. If you enjoyed Dark Matter, you'll enjoy this one.
🦊Could have toned down the details on specific genes.
🦊Another one where I recommend you avoid both the blurb and all reviews if you plan on reading it.

163. Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James

🦊Dark Star Trilogy #1
🦊Shapeshifting tracker hired to trace boy.
🦊Witches. Albinos. Mercenaries. Gendershifters. Cannibals. Mermaids.
🦊My 2nd by James. Too much sexual assault/rape/pedophilia/incest that isn't being adressed in any way, in terms of trauma for the victims, for me to enjoy. The repeated descriptions of the stink of ass-cracks, cunts, and dongs – floppy or otherwise – also turned me off this book.
🦊Will not be continuing series.
