This Monday finds me on the Planet Mars. It‘s only the second time I‘ve visited here in books, I think, having only previously read Andy Weir.

#WhereAreYouMonday
This Monday finds me on the Planet Mars. It‘s only the second time I‘ve visited here in books, I think, having only previously read Andy Weir.
Mixing poetry and science fiction wasn't such a bad idea. It's this book and Fahrenheit 451 that solidified Bradbury's reputation as a sci-fi author. He really didn't write that much of it. What he wrote, he wrote well, though. Modern exploration has long since made the Martian Chronicles rather implausible. But it's still a beautiful read.
I've read this before.
I post it because I picked it up for £2 in mint condition and I just love the cover. 😍
Currently having some lunch at a cafe with @LostInSpace and doing more book hunting! 😌👌
pick🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 These stories touch on prejudice, colonization, loneliness, fear, family and so much more. It‘s only science fiction because well it‘s in Mars. But in reality, it‘s a much deeper look at the human condition. The writing, as always, is pure poetry. ♥️
Highly recommend and it‘s deeper than you think!
Another christmas gift!

In anticipation of a potential relocation, I've been burning through a serious backlog of graphic novels. East of West Vol. 1 and Batman and Robin Vol. 1 were stellar. Skull Kickers Vol. 4 and Captain Marvel Vol. 2 were fun. Martian Chronicles was very underwhelming. Killing Pickman was intense and weird. The rest didn't leave much an impression.
Waiting for my plane to be ready for boarding with my next read😍
