    Really enjoyable science fiction with a dash of character personality to fill in any gaps in the science. Definitely worth reading, definitely worth enjoying, plus speculative scifi about alien life is always going to be funny as well as just plain cool

  • Prettiest book of yours!

    I’m curious what everyone’s favourite/most-prized/prettiest book as object is! I have a few of the laser cut seasons classics and also this gorgeous illustrated copy of Little Women. I’m too scared to actually read any of these so they just stay on my shelf and are admired.

    What I wish I could have is this embroidered edition of Emma that I’ve only seen pictures of but have never actually laid eyes on.

    (Making this post while I procrastinate PhD research, as one does).

    another excellent cosmere book that really opens up the universe and allows for a lot of speculation as to what has happened. I feel like I'm going to miss Canticle as much as Nomad will

    LOVED both the art and the story! It managed to both be comedic and silly yet bring in the horror and darker themes that really needed to be included. I especially enjoyed how the art style changed to show the different "classes" and types of people, and I loved how unsettling Mr Honeycutt was from the start. Super worth reading

    Definitely check TW's before you read! This is gruesome and horror-esq but also really leans into the absurdism, basically becoming a funhouse mirror of stagnant adult life. I thought I knew what direction Murata was going to take this since I've read Convenience Store Woman but that background did not prepare me for how crazy Earthlings was going to get!
