Checked out once and discarded. Someone loved it enough to share it. After 25 years, it's cared for again.

What … what … does this mean there‘s going to be another book or series… I need to know … the way this is written is addictive and I need to know if there‘s another book coming out or is out now … I‘m so glad I have more books by this author

4.5/5

Ceelander and Ste Etienne are forced to land on Shroud, a planet where the atmosphere is so think that no light makes it to the planets surface and life evolved to “see“ through ever louder radio waves. Escape is all but impossible, and they've attracted the attention of Shroud's many forms of life.

I couldn't put this book down. I loved everything about the journey across Shroud as well as the alien life that lives on Shroud.

Here is my #BookSpin list for August. It's almost entirely ebooks and audiobooks since I'll be moving in September and will have the majority of my books packed up before the end of August. The two physical books on the list (1 and 6) are small mass market paperbacks, so I don't mind not packing them if their numbers are picked.

Leftcoastzen Good luck with the move. Hard work! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Best wishes on your move!! Do you have far to go? 2mo
Fortifiedbybooks @TheAromaofBooks not really. I'm staying in the same city. I am downsizing quite a bit though, and that's the hard part. I don't know where I'm going to put all my books! 2mo

TheAromaofBooks Ooooo that's tough!! Our old house was smaller than the one we just bought, and we had bookshelves tucked into every spare corner! 2mo
Fortifiedbybooks @TheAromaofBooks I will likely be doing the same! I've already added a lamp that doubles as a book rack/shelf to my wishlist. I'm thinking of putting it in my dining area to hold all of my cookbooks. 2mo

The Algebraist | Iain M. Banks

This is the first Banks book I‘ve read, and I am really glad I started with it. I didn‘t have to commit to the entire Culture series, but The Algebraist did give me a (prolonged, 500+ page) taste of his writing style, character arcs, world building etc.

65/100 Its been awhile since I've read any Frederik Pohl, I'd forgotten what a talented writer he was. This is a story of parallel worlds, of characters meeting various versions of themselves as the wall between the dimensions begins to falter. It is a little confusing at times, multiple POVs with the same name and all told in first person, but it's worth sticking with for the solid conclusion. 4 ⭐ #Read2025

Leftcoastzen Love this old cover ! 2mo

In a distant future, humanity expands outward in an endless quest for resources that can be exploited, and individuals must justify their existence to merit food, oxygen and even consciousness. When an accident sends Juna and Mai to the surface of a wildly inhospitable moon targeted for resource extraction, they face a hostile environment and first contact with a life form unlike anything humanity has ever encountered. Fascinating.

#NetGalley #ARC #MountARC

Pub Day was 20 May 2025

Four people travel back in time to relive an important memory. When they are stuck in the past after their allotted hour has run out, they wonder whether they might be able to stay in the past and change the events that made them come back. Although the four people don't know each other it is soon clear that they might actually share the pivotal moment in their lives. ⬇️

julesG What will happen if each of them tries to change the past?

The book made me turn the pages faster than I expected to. First I needed to find out what had happened on that specific night, then I needed to find out whether they could change the outcome. It's a story about grief and regret, but also about hope and forgiveness.
