Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme where we randomly select a book from our Goodreads To Be Read list and share it with the world. It’s hosted by Lauren’s Page Turners, so be sure to link back to her site so that we can all see what everyone plans to read!
An Unkindness of Ghosts
by Rivers Solomon
Science Fiction
35 pages
First published in October, 2017
From Goodreads: Odd-mannered, obsessive, withdrawn, Aster has little to offer folks in the way of rebuttal when they call her ogre and freak. She’s used to the names; she only wishes there was more truth to them. If she were truly a monster, as they accuse, she’d be powerful enough to tear down the walls around her until nothing remained of her world, save for stories told around the cookfire.
Aster lives in the low-deck slums of the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South. For generations, the Matilda has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way, the ship’s leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers like Aster, who they consider to be less than human.
When the autopsy of Matilda‘s sovereign reveals a surprising link between his death and her mother’s suicide some quarter-century before, Aster retraces her mother’s footsteps. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer and sowing the seeds of civil war, Aster learns there may be a way off the ship if she’s willing to fight for it.
So the synopsis of this reads like a dystopian novel, and we all know that I’m not much of a fan of current dystopian reads, but a couple of different reviewers whose opinions I trust have raved about this book, so I’d like to at least give it a try.
Traveling in Books 
Oh, I think I may have this one! If not I should 😂
I think you have every book! *lol* I wish I had as many shelves as you do!
I am about to do a.spring clean as soon as my back as is cleared for physical activity. I told Gabe I am removing and donating all of my read paperbacks aside from a few sentimental copies. I will begin only collection hardbacks of my favorites. I have to do something. I cannot keep.addong book cases. I love them, but we do not have an actually library room 😂 It is getting a bit crazy here
I have to clear out old books fairly often. If I didn’t live in such a little apartment, it wouldn’t be a problem!
Well maybe that will change soon 😉
Maybe! We will see! So far, I’m kinda meh on the listings.
Oh no! That is not what I wanted to hear.
I’m not worried. There’s plenty of time. 🙂
