The tagged book opens with the dramatic destruction of the major Italian cities on 9-11 2077 from a meteorite. This catastrophic event, & scientific advancement, leads to a watch organization for future events. Eventually an object of interest, traveling at unusually high speed, is flagged & spaceship Endeavor is sent to intercept & investigate. What they find is a massive ship that is described as more of a world & by the end (CONT)
“The columns were not transparent from every angle or under all illuminations. As one walked around them, objects would suddenly flash into view, apparently embedded in their depths like flies in amber, & would then disappear again. There were dozens of them, all different. They looked absolutely real & solid, yet many seemed to occupy the identical volume of space.“
pickI had a fun time reading this. It was interesting and I finished it in one day. Yes it seemed a little more wooden than Katniss‘ story. I couldn‘t get behind Lenore as a character. And I really hated all the songs they kept quoting. The would quote the same song over and over. That seemed very unnecessary. But even with all that, I enjoyed the book and found it entertaining.
pickThis was the cute, fairly low-stakes manga I needed today, due to the loss of a pet (Hulk, for those who know us). I love the little fact files between chapters -- it's obviously aimed at kids, but I'm enough of a dinosaur nerd to enjoy it all the same.

Here‘s my audiobook stats from Amazon Music. I really enjoyed Project Hail Mary. I want to read The Martian next whenever I get a chance to. This was the first time I listened to audiobooks on Amazon Music.
I‘m going to take a short break from this classic (one that‘s really feeling timely and that I should‘ve read a long time ago) to get to some Christmas-y rom coms before the season‘s gone. PS: I‘m really loving this book…and mildly terrified as I read it.
Reasons why my #AuldLangSpine list from @Karisa is amazing:
1. The first two made my own ALS list
2. 2 others *almost* made the cut (5 & 15)
3. I‘ve been needing some urging to get to the next Louise Penny book
4. 1984 could really use a reread right now
5. The ones I hadn‘t heard of are totally my vibe!
I will be starting with 3, 8, 9, and 14. They are already on the way!
