It still gets me when I see a Jenny review. 😩

This was an okay read for me. Any book I read after reading Hello Beautiful was going to have a hard time breaking through to me. So I‘ll let Jenny offer her thoughts instead.

merelybookish 😞 still shocking. 5mo

Ruthiella Me too. 😢 5mo

Reggie Ughh I know, I went on Goodreads to read reviews of a book 3 books ago and she was there. And it keeps hitting. 5mo

Suet624 @Reggie It sure does. 5mo

Centique @Reggie @Billypar @Ruthiella @Suet624 i so miss her wise insights and her calm voice. I must listen to one of her podcasts again, i see theyre still there and im scared theyll disappear one day. 💔 5mo

Suet624 @Centique I listen to them occasionally just to sit with her again. 🙁 5mo

Loving these questions again! #ihavequestions @RaeLovesToRead

1. I read the Monk & Robot duology last month & adored it! I‘ve seen it classified as solarpunk, but until that becomes more of a genre in its own right I‘m thinking they count as a hybrid of sci-fi and 10 other things.

2. Last year I read several Feminist Dystopian Westerns & would love to read more!

3. Christian Fiction/Splatterpunk Horror 🤔 maybe a morality tale gone very wrong?

RaeLovesToRead Ooh, which feminist, dystopian westerns? That sounds like a great combo!!! Monk & robot, I've not read, but sounds like "Cosy Sci Fi"? ? 1y

IndoorDame @RaeLovesToRead Cosy sci-fi is a good descriptor for them. Highly recommend!! As for the other, Upright Women Wanted and Outlawed, both of which get mixed reviews but were totally my jam 😄 1y

My first foray into the solarpunk genre was a success!I started this novella on audio earlier today and just couldn‘t stop listening. I see why this one gets so much love, and I‘m excited to read the second half of the duology. This has been on my radar for a while now, so I really appreciate @SueK putting it on my #AuldLangSpine list and encouraging me to give it a try. @monalyisha #Pantone2022 #Macchiato @Clwojick

Clwojick Way to go! 1y

monalyisha One that I wish I could read again for the first time! 1y

IndoorDame @monalyisha yes, it‘s so special when you read something truly surprising that really works perfect! 1y

SueK @IndoorDame So glad you enjoyed it! @monalyisha Absolutely wish I could read it for the first time again. But I think I liked the second one even more, so that‘s almost the same thing. 1y

"My name is Mosscap", it said, sticking out a metal hand. "What do you need, and how might I help?" -- I expected to love this and then I DID ☕?

rockpools 🥰 Reading it and loving it too! 2y

Librariana Have not started it yet, but I did purchase it as part of my birthday book haul. Looking forward to it and glad you're loving it! 😊 2y

Onioons @rockpools I'm always jealous when someone is reading a book I loved for the first time 😂 Enjoy! 2y

Onioons @Librariana Happy birthday, hope you got some reading time too! 🎂 2y

Librariana @Onioons I should've probably clarified that my birthday was back in September 😁 My apologies! But thank you nonetheless! 💜 I want to say I did get some reading time that day? Maybe? Lol! I do remember book shopping AND sushi for dinner 🥰 2y

A quiet, thoughtful, contemplative read about purpose, identity, nature, and productivity that‘s also inclusive. Really liked Dex and Mosscap and look forward to seeing more of them. Preordered the sequel.

Without constructs, you will unravel few mysteries. Without knowledge of the mysteries, your constructs will fail. These pursuits are what make us, but without comfort, you will lack the strength to sustain either. Find the strength to do both.

A lovely, thoughtful little sci-fi story.

so-so

It's a low-action, low-drama story about the friendship between a robot and a human monk experiencing a crisis of purpose. It's what you expect from Becky Chambers: low-action, low-drama, nice people behaving nicely. I've never been a fan of Chambers's work, but it may be growing on me. In this case I found the principals' friendship charming, and will probably read the next.

tokorowilliamwallace Nice, low action and low drama! 2y

Is sci-fi futuristic cozies a genre? This new book by Becky Chambers is so sweet with lovable characters and an interesting premise.

What if robots had long ago revolted and chose to live serenely in nature? What if a job of the future is offering small comforts like a free cup of tea and listening to strangers? Just a nice read cover to cover. I can‘t wait for the next book in the series!

rockpools Apparently I‘m here for sci-fi futuristic cozies! 3y

This quick read introduces a new post-robot sentience world with a new religious and political system. I loved the monk and robot characters and I hope we see them again. I'll leave the rest to be discovered by the reader!

If you want to do things that are meaningful to others, fine! Good! So do I! But if I wanted to crawl into a cave and watch stalagmites with Frostfrog for the remainder of my days, that would also be both fine and good. You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don‘t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in this world and marvel at it. You don‘t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live. #ARC

Another right book at the right time situation. A young monk, Dex, decides to leave the City & become a tea monk-something between bartender & itinerant therapist. When they lose their sense of purpose & venture into the actual Wild, they meet a robot. Since the era that robots left for the wild, they‘d become almost legendary. Mosscap has come to ask “What do humans want?”- a question Dex doesn‘t feel qualified to answer. ⬇️ #ARC

akaGingerK Mosscap is curious & empathetic- an interesting glimpse into an extremely loose society of wild-built robots who roam the wilds of the moon, observing nature and carried along by their individual deep curiosity. 3y

BekaReid I cannot wait to read this. I will read anything Becky Chambers writes!! 3y

akaGingerK @BekaReid - it‘s really good! I love her Record of a Spaceborn Few so much that I will also always pick her books up. 3y
