pickThis was an interesting and quick read. The book is set on a ship that has travelled to a distant planet. The crew is a mix of human and humanoid and the boom is told in brief interviews with various employees. We soon come to understand that strange objects have been brought on to the ship triggering emotions in both the humans and the humanoids, and raises issues of independence, cognition and emotion. Interesting and thoughtful.

#CharacterCharm Day 13: #TimeSpaceTraveler - i think being stuck in just one particular day in time qualifies. Still don‘t know how i feel about this little book. Qualifies too for #ReadTheWorld2025 - Denmark - translated from Danish.
pickBrilliant. Engaging and thoughtful.
Hard to think of anything to add to the outpouring of Litsy love for this one!

Cliff hanger.
Ummmmm maybe I‘m over protective or American culture is different, but I would not let my 5-6 year old son go with a woman I just met that day to a toy shop while I worked on a laptop in a cafe. 😐
On the other hand, my husband let some Ethiopian women unknown to him take our 3 month old baby into a bathroom in the Addis Ababa airport to change his diaper. First time dad - overwhelmed. 🤭
