Today's review!

Sally reviews "I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons" by Peter S. Beagle:

"A new book by Peter Beagle is always something to look forward to, and this one’s no exception. It is, like his other works, beautiful and savage, uproarious and heartbreaking... You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you won’t have wasted your time and money."

Remember the wonderful documentary My Octopus Teacher? Filmmaker Craig Foster has a new book, Amphibious Soul, that I have reviewed today for NPR. It's a look at finding wildness in our world, through the lens of the Great African Seaforest. I like it, though I raise some questions too, about romanticizing human ancestors. fhttps://www.npr.org/2024/05/13/1250514639/my-octopus-teacher-craig-foster-new-book-amphibious-soul

Today's review! Water on Mars by Kate Rauner:

"Rauner uses her innate skills to build upon her world’s society and culture with each new book in the series, as the colony adapts and evolves. It’s fascinating to ride along with her characters and see how Mars has changed since my last visit... Another great book in a fantastic series. I can’t wait to read the last one."

"You are my Sunshine" is a song that hums with all the notes of clifi, from the horrifying to the hopeful. Its titular novelette is a bone-chilling plunge into the terrifying depths of our climate reality. Octavia Cade @octaviacade weaves the same spell of sobering disquiet found in her novella, THE IMPOSSIBLE RESURRECTION OF GRIEF, to this collection of sunflowers, starfish & submarine paths to reworlding. A magnificent read. @StelliformPress
