Just want to show you this unexpected place where I found a free book, in a food public market.
They called R-Llibres, and his mission is rescue, reuse, reread...

It was sparkly to me when I saw! It's a wonderful initiative to promote reading!
I hope you have one of that in your town!

Started the tagged on my break. It‘s so tiny for a hardcover. I normally get my books from work but we don‘t have this one. Past me put it on hold at my local but I have no recollection of doing so. I had to look up the book when the hold notice came in. I can definitely see why I did though.

Such an amazing book! It's set in the Dominican Republic in a science fiction universe where "pocket worlds" aka small alternative universes have been discovered. Time is either slowed down or sped up in these PWs. An archeologist and her biologist wife explore them with enthusiasm, until one day things go horribly wrong. A beautiful and smart meditation on motherhood, climate collapse, grief, capitalism, and the nature of time itself. #QueerBooks

An Aeluon, an Akarak, and a Quelin walk into a long-haul short-stop and end up in lockdown for a few days. The Laru host and her kid try to cater to their needs. They all learn a few things about themselves and the universe. Unlikely friendships are forged. Nothing much happens, and I didn't need it to. Possibly my favourite of the series.

Next up in my Year of the Great Reread!! This book is copyrighted 1996, and I believe I read it in 1999 (when my first born was just a baby!), with a library book group. I'm not usually one for science fiction but I recall very much enjoying it, I'm looking forward to reading it again after so many years!

ChaoticMissAdventures I read this a couple of years ago and think about it often. A bit slow but so masterfully done the imagery is still so vivid in my brain! I hope you still enjoy it this time around. 2d

I was skeptical at first since this a genre I don't particularly enjoy. Boy, I was wrong!

I highly enjoyed this book. It was fun and heartwarming. I chuckled at the funny parts and teared up for the MC's love his wife. Who would have thought I would enjoy a military sci-fi book?

Got my bingo on my #UnstackMyShelf board! So I treated myself. My buddy read with a friend, an impulse buy, and the next Emily Wilde book! #BookHaul

I just started this book yesterday, after it sat on my shelf for more than a year. I'm sorry I didn't pick it up sooner, it's fantastic! As the blurb on the front cover says, "all at once a meditation on motherhood, grief, war, environmental collapse, and the nature of memory and time". Set in the Dominican Republic, a science fiction universe where "pocket worlds" aka small alternate universes have been discovered, lesbian protagonist. So good!

This is a hilarious science fiction story. Do you want to join the army knowing that you could possibly live a younger life?
