Another thin edition of the link soup. No meat, not a lot of veggies, either.

Wow, is Daylight Savings ever kicking my ass. The Boy told me a rather funny story about having to explain daylight savings to non-Americans who came to his theatre an hour early for their movie and were very curious as to why, apparently, Americans felt they had the authority to change time itself.

Which, given America, is not an illogical assumption to make about why we'd have such a thing.

I wish I could go back in time and assure them that time didn't change, Americans are just batshit insane and are all pretending, in concert, that time has changed. Because, see above, re: batshit insane.

Anyway, the thing I came here for:

madam_silvertip has a great list of writers of color in SF/F. And nhw has a list of books by POC he's read in proportion to non-PoC authored books he's read. I should probably get around to doing the same one of these days, if only in private because that's a good kind of self-auditing to do.

I'm always on a quest to build a Must Read list. And since my reward for finally finishing my @#$%ing impossible to finish Absolutely Last So Help Me Flying Spaghetti Monster Draft of the Tower!Guy novel is to treat myself to some new books, it means I'm practically licking my chops looking for delicious reads.

As always, I will take any recommendations under advisement, and anything that might help me in my quest for The Perfect Vampire Novel would also be really delicious.

Why, thank you! I hope mine was a positive contribution. At least nobody has complained.

My own "must read" list at present is very much based on mu "unread" list, which is far too long. LibraryThing is a great resource for triangulating on the books on your shelves already that you need to read or throw out. (At least, I enjoy using it that way.
