A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers

August 11, 2022 by andtheIToldYouSos 3 Comments

…and yes, she drives that boat too fast and befriends a robot! What else could I need? Once again, I am utterly in love with the newest Becky Chambers. A Prayer for the Crown-Shy, a much awaited sequel to A Psalm for the Wild-Built, was calling my name from the second that I finished the first entry. I always need to point this out, but if this isn’t the place to do then what is; I would not have found myself in the cozy companionship […]

a #cannonbookclub favorite RETURNS!

It All Comes Back to You by Farah Naz Rishi

September 6, 2021 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

Last year, during our The Future is Queer book club event, we were introduced to the sweet and complicated world of Farah Naz Rishi with her debut novel, I Hope You Get This Message. She returns next week with a decidedly different but still warmly familiar follow up: It All Comes Back to You. IHYGTM sits firmly on the edge of an apocalypse; aliens have made contact with Earth and time is quickly slipping away. It All Comes Back to You is firmly planted in another […]

Must read for Farscape nerds like me

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

December 23, 2020 by teresaelectro 3 Comments

Our June Cannon Book Club theme was The Future is Queer. From the four reading options, I chose The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. This sci-fi novel has been on my list for a while especially after so many rave Cannonball Read reviews.  The book club discussion was a perfect excuse to finally read it. This book has space travel, engaging characters, and a big dose of heart. It was a welcome escape from the chaos of the world. The […]

“I think ‘bone frenzy’ might be a term open to coarse misinterpretation, personally.”

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

September 28, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos 6 Comments

I started screaming within the first 60 pages. This was good screaming, mind you. Surprise-party-on-a-rollercoaster-with-Elvis-in-space screaming. Everything that I had learned and loved from Gideon the Ninth exploded in my face, leaving a cloud of gore and pure insanity- and you know what? I was into it. Big time. If you have yet to read Gideon (WHY?!) then DO NOT READ THIS WRITE UP. Do not read anything about Harrow, do not read Gideon‘s book jacket, and do not waste any more time! Go go go! Our Lady Harrowhawk is, well, […]

Waiting for the end of the world

I Hope You Get This Message by Farah Naz Rishi

September 7, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

Official book description: Seven days. Seven days. The Earth might end in seven days.   When news stations start reporting that Earth has been contacted by a planet named Alma, the world is abuzz with rumors that the alien entity is giving mankind only few days to live before they hit the kill switch on civilization.   For high school truant Jesse Hewitt, though, nothing has ever felt permanent. Not the guys he hooks up with. Not the jobs his underpaid mom works so hard […]

cbr12bingo – Pandemic!

To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers

August 26, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos 2 Comments

Once again, Becky Chambers distills the hope of humanity into the fleeting thoughts of a far-off astronaut. I am, once again, bathed in love and awe. I’m an observer, not a conqueror. I have no interest in changing other worlds to suit me. I choose the lighter touch: changing myself to suit them. Ariadne is more than our narrator, and she’s more than the pilot of her ship. She is our eyes, ears, and heart. She is an equal yet extraordinary piece of her four-person crew. This […]
