Determined Optimism

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

April 30, 2022 by Emmalita 10 Comments

Project Hail Mary was a real interesting thing to read in April of 2022. I struggled with Weir's premise that the world would come together to save Earth. I switched back and forth between this and Adrian Tchaikovsky's Eyes of the Void (review coming soon), and I think that helped me appreciate … [Read more]

Dark Deeds

“Fiona Russell was hopefully going to be a lot less trouble.”

Dark Deeds by Michelle Diener

April 30, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I very much enjoyed the first book in this series (AIs! Aliens! And a dash of romance!) so of course I immediately borrowed the next one. It’s both very similar and very different from the first book, but I still had a great time reading it. Grih battleship captain Hal is not having a good day. … [Read more]

Essential reading about climate change solutions

Electrify: An Optimist's Playbook for our Clean Energy Future by Saul Griffith

April 29, 2022 by kniki 1 Comment

I got this book from the library after listening to an interview with the author on one of my favourite podcasts (Wild, with Sarah Wilson). The whole book is an argument for why electrifying everything is the biggest (albeit not the only) way to fight climate change while creating millions of new … [Read more]

Love is Not the End-All

The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany by Lori Nelson Spielman

April 29, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

“To me, love is more like a lending library. To keep it, we must continually renew it. Otherwise we pay a hefty fine.” There is a purported family curse that afflicts the Fontana family - that second-born daughters will never find true love and wed. When their estranged great-aunt Poppy promises … [Read more]

Wouldn’t it be funny if?

Skeleton Crew by Stephen King

April 29, 2022 by blauracke 2 Comments

I've owned this book for 20 years probably, and I think this was my third read through. It is a collection of short stories and some of King' s earliest work, and the stories are of widely varying quality. Some made me roll my eyes, some left me indifferent, and some were gripping, but there is one … [Read more]

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
