October books

1. The Aeronaut's Windlass, Jim Butcher


2. Broken Homes, *Ben Aaronovitch


3. Foxglove Summer, *Ben Aaronovitch


4. *The Girl in the Road, Monica Byrne
   This book stars a bisexual female POC protagonist with a trans* girlfriend, and while she's not entirely a hero, her bad behavior is not blamed on her sexuality or ethnicity. It's also set in India and Africa (and the Arabian Sea). I was sure while reading that the author, despite her name, was Indian or African, and come to find out, she's a white American. From my own admittedly-low-knowledge white American perspective, her characters are convincingly not white Americans.


5. *Outline, Rachel Cusk
   Abandoned 19%. Didn't seem to be going anywhere and I didn't really like the characters.
