It’s so rare to start a book, know the premise and yet have no idea whatsoever where the story is gonna go. Beyond excited, I feel this is gonna be a wild ride!

Currently obsessed with this book and I'm severely disappointed that it is not socially acceptable for me to read this at my desk during my 9 to 5 day job.

This book has been the first book in a while that I'm finding myself staying up just a little bit too late past my bedtime to read more. Definitely feeling it this morning, but no regrets.

🛸👽👾 I just got done reading The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune & I think it would be a WONDERFUL addition to this quest.
A SCI-FI thriller set in the mid 1990s with wonderful, queer characters by an LGBTQIA+ author involving aliens, cults & a wonderful, heart breaking, terrifying, beautiful adventure. Even if it is not added to this quest, I hope I can recommend it to this lovely group of readers who I believe would love such a book. Please do let me know if you read it & your thoughts. I was so happy to come across it, & I thought the audio book was perfect. Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈💜❤️💙🧡🩵💚

"I thought of the term 'close-knit' family whenever I saw my parents and sister together. If I wasn't here, they'd make a perfect unit. So I wanted them to spend time together as a close knit family without me now and then."

This poor girl.

It doesn't seem so far like her parents are necessarily super neglectful but it does make me wonder how much more attention they give to her sister if she has had time to grow into this mindset and think it's normal.

There in his chest is a heart that tilts and pitches. He can keep its beats slow and smooth, quell its habits of fear or panic or impulse, stop it yearning too much for home, curb its unhelpful states of abandon. Calm and steady, calm and steady. Metronome pacing out the breath. Yet still at times it tilts and pitches. It wants what it wants and hopes what it hopes and needs what it needs and loves what it loves. … An animal that does not just bear witness, but loves what it witnesses.

I am aware the book is more purple prose than an actual plot or character driven story. I usually don’t read these types of books, because I can get easily distracted in the scramble of words, but I liked what I’ve read so far! The book takes being human as its subject and doing a good job of it.
