so-soEminently readable, in that the pacing and formatting creates a good flow, and I appreciate the writing style. More than just a collection of peculiarly-phrased perceptive observations, there does appear to be full life narrated from the point of view of a (possibly neurodivergent) asexual character, a collection of friends and family, 1/?

pick23/100 First of all, ignore Litsy's description of this book, it's totally wrong. I've given them the correct one but they have never changed it. Anyway, what this book is about is the Hotel Andromeda, a space station located in the hub between many alien and human civilizations. A collection of short stories, mostly humorous, about the employees and the visitors to the station. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫 #Read2025

Beautyland hit my February sweet spot. Audiobook where life happens but there is a lightness in tone that keeps anxiety at bay. Glad to have read this #TOBshortlist book. 4 🌟

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Coming of age story of a woman who‘s ostensibly an alien sent to report about humans and Earth back to her home. It took awhile for me to connect either this—if it weren‘t for #ToB25 I probably would have bailed, but I found it much more interesting once she reached adulthood. I found many of her observations to be quite true and sweet.
pickI don‘t even know where to begin to start with this book - there is unhinged and then one really big step up the ladder is this book.
Listened to most of this book like 😦🤭🫢
Loved it. No notes.
