pickHmmm not sure what I was expecting for a book about the moon turning to cheese but as always John Scalzi with Wil Wheaton narrating is entertaining 🙃⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickI had a lot of fun reading this. Perfect popcorn/summer read sci fi. I think the reason I love this sort of thing is that you don't have to read too closely to enjoy yourself and you feel like you've accomplished something when it's over.
pickA holiday means enough reading time to finish this book! I appreciate Scalzi's ability to develop so many characters in such a short space as each chapter provides. I'm surprised by how reflective a book this is - I was left considering what I might do in this situation more than Kaiju Preservation Society or Starter Villain (he considers these books a trilogy on the theme of characters dealing with the unexpected). Very enjoyable!
Favourites from the first half of 2025.
Upon reflection, these are the most powerful, memorable, beautiful, enjoyable reads from January to June .

pickWho knew learning about planets was so much fun?!?! Simply loved this book and all the cool facts about the planets. Adorable illustrations and funny humor thrown throughout the book. Perfect for kids of all ages.
Currently loving the tendency of all characters, upon learning the moon has been transformed into cheese, to ask, “What kind of cheese?“ It's probably what would happen in real life! 😂
More to come. I find this hilarious and therapeutic. 😂😍

pickThis is a terrific book - a narrative nonfiction history of the Apollo program told mainly through the astronauts. The book will win over jaded resistant readers and often keep us glued. The astronauts are super smart, but also foolish and emotionally distant.
One thing that struck me was the scale of the moonscape. Pike‘s Peak sized mountains outside the landers.
