littlemiao :jewish_pride_flag:<p>Gates of Gaza by Amir Tibon is a difficult book to read, but powerful and informative. Journalist Amir Tibon survived the October 7 attack on Nahal Oz with his wife and two little children. This is his firsthand account, along with extensive background and survivor accounts from others he interviewed. Tragically, his friend and neighbor Tsachi Idan was murdered by Hamas since the publishing of the book, and his friend Omri Miran is still in captivity. It has been 529 days. <a href="https://babka.social/tags/October7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>October7</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/BookReviews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReviews</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/f7e98093-832c-4fca-b4d9-946302adfd94" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/</span><span class="invisible">f7e98093-832c-4fca-b4d9-946302adfd94</span></a></p>

Hawksquill<p>Book 3 of 2025</p><p>The Stars Too Fondly by Emily Hamilton</p><p>3 stars</p><p>A very trope-y, fluffy sapphic sci fi romance with queer found family as its emotional core. There were parts of this I really loved, and some that fell flat or were too cliche for me. Unfortunately I end up comparing every book in this genre, cozy queer sci fi, with Becky Chambers, unfairly and almost always unfavorably. There was some very meaningful representation for me, though, because one of the protagonists being a bisexual woman who has experienced biphobia because she's been in long-term relationships with men. </p><p>I appreciated that Hamilton included an acknowledgment of the copyeditors, designers, and marketing and sales staff who worked on the book. I hope this will become a more common practice. </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/BookReviews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReviews</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/QueerSciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerSciFi</span></a></p>
