Finished reading The Galaxy, and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers. I loved this series; I don’t know if “cozy sci-fi” is a genre, but this would anchor it. Lots of explorations of family and community.

Finished rereading Seven Surrenders by Ada Palmer, the second book of the series.

Interesting: When I started rereading the first book, I had forgotten most of it, but it came back to me as I was reading it. This book, though, I felt like there were whole chapters I was reading for the first time. Really enjoyed it, though! She undercut her “I am writing about only the best people” shtick at the end — a little later than I’d’ve liked, but I’ll take it. Looking forward to book three.

Finished rereading Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer. Still has off-putting elements, but I’m charging ahead to the next book.

Musing about what it would take to turn the long walk journal into a print-on-demand book.

Finished God Cancer by Greg Stolze. I didn’t know I was looking for a short horror novel mashup of Lovecraft (At the Mountains of Madness–style) and cancer, but I sure was.

Finished A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine. A satisfying sequel to her first, not flawless but still very well executed.
