Where Are the Constellations? | Stephanie Sabol, Who Hq

There is so much information in this small book! The author really unpacks the information in a way a juv reader or adult knew to stargazing can absorb and be entertained at the same time.

Usha and the Big Digger | Amitha Jagannath Knight

4 🌟Two sisters are looking at the night sky, and the oldest sister sees and explains the big dipper. But Usha, the younger sister says she sees a big digger, just like her favorite truck. Their cousin comes to join them, and they see a kite. Many different things can be seen in these formations. Some have cultural references, and some are just the readers imagination.

Defy the Worlds | Claudia Gray

Book 2 in a YA series, Sci-fi. Sometimes a sequel gets stale, but not this one! The adventure of human Noemi and sort of human Abel deepens as Noemi is kidnapped, a new world is discovered and her home world is threatened. A perfect blend of imagination and interesting characters, this is a good second book, and I'm looking forward to reading number 3.

Strong novella. Very dynamic. Tempe is going back to her roots and dealing with a case so complex she needs to see the naked bones. She always gets her killer. #constellation #fourfoursin21

I'd say this works for the #Constellation prompt of #fourfoursin21 - there are stars on the cover, plus Leia hops from system to system in the story. #readingchallenge

Gorgeous. Atmospheric, weird, clever, touching - did I say weird? SUCH a strong sense of place. I loved it! I‘m really sad to be leaving it behind.

Thanks for putting it on my radar @julesG - I don‘t think it‘s something I‘d have picked up on my own. And thanks for making me actually read it, #buddyread folks - the ooh, urr... and wtf?? comments made me actually pick it up. Looking forward to our conversation now 😊.

rockpools Bizarrely, this is the second buddy read I‘ve finished this year - 2020 broke me good and proper!! First book finished for #slumpathon, free space for #bookspinbingo, and I‘m hoping someone with a print copy can confirm, but I‘m pretty sure the faun‘s playing a #musicalinstrumentonthecover #booked2021. I‘m also going to use this for #constellation #fourfoursin21 as Piranesi spends a lot of time mapping the stars. 4y
Lauredhel @rockpools this has been on my tbr since it came out... thanks for the reminder! 4y

julesG @Lauredhel Read it! It's very good. @scripturient just posted her review on her blog. Just in case you need further encouragement. And no, I still don't get any commission. 😉 4y
julesG Very glad you liked it Rachel. And 🎉💪 for finishing another #buddyread. 4y
rockpools @Lauredhel It‘s difficult to gush about without actually saying anything about it! But yes, do give it a go. 4y
rockpools @julesG You‘re really going to have to sort out the commission thing! 4y
TrishB Woohoo 🙌 another successful buddy read! 4y
Caroline2 I just finished too...I‘m still digesting tho! I liked it but not sure I loved it? I don‘t think I was in the right mood for all it‘s quirky weirdness. 🤔 4y
rockpools @TrishB 🎉🎉🎉 4y
rockpools @Caroline2 I‘m glad you liked it - but that‘s absolutely fair enough. It is seriously weird! 4y
squirrelbrain Another buddy read ticked off the list - are you sure you‘re feeling OK?! 🤣 Ooh and thanks for pointing out the musical instrument on the cover - I can tick that one off #booked2020 now! 😘 4y
Oryx It was my second successful buddy read ever too I think 😄. Glad you enjoyed, it was a brilliant world to spend time in. 4y
rockpools @squirrelbrain It is something musical, isn‘t it? And no, obviously brain-scrambled! It‘ll be fun if it lasts though😁 - I think I‘ve bust through the worst of my chunksterphobia as well. Yay! 4y
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 4y
squirrelbrain Yes,it‘s some kind of pan-pipey-bugley thing! I‘m calling it that anyway... 4y
rockpools @Oryx Ha! That‘s good to know - I usually bail or grind to a staggering halt with buddy reads. But it was such a fab choice of book. I may be about to start a mini tides-and-architecture obsession! 4y
BarbaraBB That sense of place will stay with me for some time to come. So good 🤍 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m glad to hear all the positive reviews. I‘ve been wondering if I‘d like this one! 4y
rockpools @BarbaraBB Exactly! I kind of wonder if there‘s a Raphael story on the cards, so we can spend more time there. 4y
rockpools @BarbaraTheBibliophage I think it‘s worth giving it a go, even if it‘s not your usual thing. Lots to think about, even if you don‘t‘like‘ it. 4y
Ruthiella I totally want more stories from this world! Are there maybe doorways leadings to other worlds? 🤨 4y
rockpools @Ruthiella Ooh, that‘s an idea! I‘d really like to know about the statues too - who/what/how??? Is P going to come across all of them, back in the other place? 4y
