Lifelong reader, first time wyrmer here! Most of my reading happens at bedtime, and takes me to sci-fi or fantasy. I’ve also been digging books with LGBTQ+ characters or themes.
Elsewhere on the Fediverse, I can be found at @chad@beige.party and @chado@social.lol

I enjoyed The Martian, and Andy Weir’s deeply technical scifi is a pretty fun fit for a moon heist here in Artemis. Good pacing, cool setting, neat details.
The characters got in the way of my enjoyment, though. Weir struggled authentically portraying the diverse cast, especially the protagonist. It was a little tough to get through her brand of snark.
But I had fun!
For fans of A Man Called Ove, a charming, witty and compulsively readable exploration …
This is a great book. I went in expecting some silliness with an octopus narrator, and was sucked in to a deeply human story.

You start a book by describing the view of the sunrise around Haleakala from a canoe off Maui and you have my attention.

Well. That was great.

I placed a hold on this book at my local library, which appears to have raised me into the ranks of "cool patrons," in the eyes of the staff. They recognized me when I came in and had my holds ready by the time I got to the desk. And I learned that it is one of the folks' favorite books!
Content warning Dodsworth was published in 1929
This last chapter of Dodsworth ends with Sam returning to the US and disillusioned with his home country. We get pages of rants from Ross Ireland, a foreign correspondent Sam is traveling with. He finds New York ugly, noisy, and overly-devoted to the American God of Speed. Prohibition is called out for its idiocy, and they keep mentioning US foreign affairs as morally wrong. Idk, it’s Neat™️ to read “America sucks rn” but from 96 years ago.

Record high number of words I don’t know and didn’t bother to look up. Meaning by vibes.
Good cats
If I'm gonna read it, it needs to be lunar, cozy, or translated from the original Japanese.

I enjoyed this quite a lot, but a bit less than Legends and Lattes. If the author writes a third book featuring an orc warrior enjoying baked goods and chill spaces, I will read it.

Refreshing! Maybe I should read more 80s-90s fantasy.
I am unfortunately defaulting on this library loan. Maybe I’ll be back, but for now I will feel freed from the burden of the tense vibes.
It’s the Big Library Read! www.biglibraryread.com/
I’m not really sure what that is but I’m into it
