The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (Wayfarers #1) by Becky Chambers

September 19, 2024 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

I absolutely adored Becky Chambers’ “Monk & Robot” novella series and recommend it often to anyone who asks me for a book rec, in particular those who I think could use an emotional boost. It was a no brainer for me to pick up this Hugo Award winning series as I was sure I would like it, and I definitely did. In fact, I immediately bought it for a friend who I thought would like it and she read it in about 3 days. Four thumbs […]

The summary is pretty straightforward: Delilah Green, struggling art photographer and love-’em-and-leave-’em lesbian, caves to the […]

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon

January 20, 2019 by Dusty Highway 2 Comments

Rivers Solomon’s An Unkindness of Ghosts is yet another great example of the kind of book I would have missed had I not started reading more speculative fiction and diversifying the voices in my library. That would have been a pity, because this complex, powerful novel may very well end up at the top of my 2019 favorites list. After Earth suffered an unnamed cataclysm 300 years ago, the remnants of humanity were crowded onto the spaceship Matilda and launched toward some long-forgotten destination. Humanity […]
