pickThis was fine, a bit underwhelming. I think it‘s very difficult to pull off the “non-human narrator observes humanity and here‘s what they notice” trope, because the author is always human. Anyway, this is a book about an alien who comes to earth and has his assumptions about humanity challenged. If you don‘t take it too literally, it does deliver a warm and profound message abt what‘s important in a human life, and how so many of us get it wrong.
pickCountiing down to the last 4 #booksreadin2025.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this anthology but I was very much in awe of every author for creating this stories within the world of the 4 films.
I can clearly see how each author is a fan of the series, including the editor due to their exploration and original characters but also the attention to detail to the world building and the Xenomorphs themselves.
I participated in #serieslove2025 and I finished reading 5 series that I had in progress. I wish I could‘ve read more series because I have a spreadsheet full of series I have in progress but I was able to delete 5 series from that spreadsheet so I‘m happy about that. One of my goals that I try to work on every year is to finish series.
Still working on The Humans, which is going kinda slow so far. Getting ready for my end-of-year blizzard of posts …
If some of you are like me, this is still happening. I just hand the box to the kids: “here‘s another one I must have forgotten about.” #holidayhumor
Ok there‘s just been 3 so far…
