When Roz first stomped across the island, the animal squawks and chirps and growls had sounded like nothing more than meaningless noises. But she no longer heard animal voices. She now heard animal words
— The Wild Robot by Peter Brown (Page 51)
I am absolutely in love with this passage. It is so insightful as nature does have its own language and it is shared amongst all of us. We understand when a snake uses its rattle, when a dog wags their tail, when seagulls stare at our food, etc. Many people do not realize this concept, and one of the reasons I love birdwatching. We can communicate with each other and it does not have to be English.

Audiobook? Utterly amazing. At first, I was very annoyed about the narration!!! However, I absolutely loved the book!! Ryland Grace was an amazingly developed character and the world building within this sci fi novel was amazing. I did not expect to find so much love for science in a book and expect to feel like I know about highly scientific knowledge along with the main character. I was hooked to the story. Absolutely amazing. Also, the world needs Strat. Fictional and Non Fictional world!!

My hearttttt
Okay, Project Hail Mary is getting pretty interesting. I'm a bit skeptical of this read, being Vietnamese myself and having the author white but it does have insanely high reviews. Will give it a try. Had to pick something that hopefully will rehook my attention on the ebook front
I loved loved Old Mans War. I was happy that the universe was continued with this book as I wanted to know more about the universe that Scalzi created, about the characters, ghost brigades, etc. I was surprised on how different some of the Special Forces were to one another. It felt like a smaller story than the first and went by very fast. Writing is still very good, dialogue, etc.

Heard this is an amazing audiobook. So far it is just okay. I am treating it like a very long movie because I heard it reads that way.

I would only recommend the audiobook version of this novel. The narration from Eunice Wong for Vera and all the characters are amazing. The writing is just okay. Not the strongest. Story too. Everything is sort of basic. Nothing too special. I couldn't feel very invested in the characters but it is a cozier, easy read.
