I cried when this book ended. My e-reader said I was at 90% and I wasn't emotionally ready to say goodbye to Mosscap and Dex (for now).
The ending was so beautiful though. If you haven't read this series, do your future self a favor and start "Psalm For the Wild Built" ASAP

@tredford01 The Wayfarer series kind of ruined sci-fi for me (sarcastically and figuratively) because it sets the bar so high for what reading a book can feel like. I just wish there were like 10 other authors who wrote like Becky Chambers because her books are so uniquely beautiful.

@ranjit this book was so whimsical and delightful, but I still felt like there were many parts of the book where I just had no idea what was happening. Cozy, but also confusing.

This woman sounds like such a badass and I need to find a way to get my hands on this book.
Found this on a list about cycling books. I am setting a goal to do a pretty rough 120km gran fondo ride next summer so this will be a must read for me at some point I think.

It took me about a year to finish this one. I started off reading out loud with my partner but we moved on to something a bit cheerier due to the fact that a lot of the chapters are pretty depressing (it's still a great book, it just wasn't working for us in that context).
Having said that, I really enjoyed Trevor's book here and I have a whole new level respect for him. He's a terrific writer and a hilarious storyteller.
If you like Trevor Noah or are interested in South Africa, consider reading this book.

Content warning Light spoilers in content/trigger warning at the end of the review.
This book is the Gospel and the Good News, disguised as a really well written speculative science fiction novella.
Truly, it's such an incredible book - the universe that the author builds is so interesting and the characters are so relatable.
Do yourself a favor and find a way to read this one.
Trigger warning for readers though - there are a few scenes depicting zombie-virus and some tense scenes that involve death/dying.

Quick read, but so so good. Review incoming.
