Completed a nice wee stack of reading in January. Some I& #39;d recommend, some I& #39;d let others do that for.
February certainly won& #39;t have this long of a book trail... let& #39;s blame it on #CyberScotWeek2020. A very happy learning distraction from the #TBR list

This copy of & #39;I, Rigoberta Menchú& #39; has been around the world with me. It& #39;s a tough read, but a necessary one.
A translation of @RigobertMenchu& #39;s personal story of the community/family she is from - and the losses experienced in Guatemala& #39;s & #39;civil& #39; war on indigenous peoples.

& #39;Beggars Banquet& #39; by @Beathhigh. Because his writing is quick + sharp... packed with puzzles of the social criminal kind. Not to mention the special feelings of familiarity when his stories mention the streets of this special country that raised me

A recommendation from the legend that is my Mother: The Taxidermist& #39;s Daughter by @katemosse
It& #39;s dark, grim, and dreich (damp and cold) - and highlights underrepresented women& #39;s experiences in early 1900s.
Perfect for these stormy winter months. Better than Poe.

Another recommendation. One that could have backfired, had I not really loved it... right, @ToniWS4?
It& #39;s #Neuromancer by @GreatDismal. #Cyberspace, a kickass woman holding no prisoners, and #biotech imagination gone wild. How had I not read this sooner?!?!

And, & #39;Uncanny Valley& #39;, with @annawiener& #39;s real experiences working in Silicon Valley.
So many of the situations described feel painfully familiar. I hope more folks in the tech hubs of the world read this + course correct - get out of our bubbles. Let& #39;s build inclusively.

February books: 2 hits, and a miss!
All subjective, obvs.
Also obvs: @GreatDismal
& @kimballscott books were definitely not on the & #39;miss& #39; list.

& #39;Count Zero& #39; by William Gibson ( @GreatDismal) - another braw one. The fine person who set me on his books ( @ToniWS4) will be to blame when my bookshelf busts a #Cyberpunk nut.

And... this one.
Well, let& #39;s just say I probably need to work on being able to walk away from a book when I& #39;m not enjoying it. To let it go, and move on.
