Choose Wisely: 35 Women Up To No Good von Diane Cook
An interesting selection of short stories, a good number of which I found well written and engaging. Generally speaking the longer ones were better than the very short ones. I have discovered several authors I plan to follow from this book. Well worth the read in my opinion. The rating reflects that more stories in here are good than bad.

obtusata | 1 weitere Rezension | Jan 9, 2020 | I loved this book. It grabbed me with it’s first story, which reminded me of Margaret Atwood’s "The Handmaid’s Tale", and kept my attention with fascinating story after fascinating story. It calls itself a “feminist anthology” but, really, it’s just a damned good anthology of damned good stories.

obtusata | 1 weitere Rezension | Jan 9, 2020 | I received a copy from the editor in exchange for an honest review.
(It took me almost a year to read this and I am ashamed.)
How to Live on Other Planets: A Handbook for Aspiring Aliens collects over 40 sci-fi stories and poems around the topic of immigration. As with the other anthology I read by this editor (Sunvault), these stories are also diverse, full of queer and nonbinary characters, polyamory, and a variety of non-white immigrant experiences.
I admit that the reason it took me so long to finish this book is that the variety and the number stories is just... way too overwhelming. In almost 400 pages, the pace keeps switching between longer stories and poems of only a few lines, and it was just difficult to adjust back from one to another. I feel like it might have been a good idea to divide this into two volumes.
My top favourite stories are:
Sarah Pinsker: The Low Hum of Her Robot grandma!
Mary Anne Mohanraj: Jump Space A polyamorous triad faces some complications with the addition of a new member.
Zen Cho: The Four Generations of Chang E As the title says, this tells the story of four generations of immigrants and how differently they think about their ancestry.
Alex Dally McFarlane: Found A nonbinary space trader commuting between asteroids to sell spices. I loved this one so much.
Lewis Shiner: Primes Two parallel universes merge together, the population of Earth doubles, and everyone has to deal with their own other selves.… (mehr)
