Sometimes, the book reviewer gets a glowing review. I was floored by this comment on my blog. I'm awful at awkwardly promoting my blog, but if you like fantasy, you'll get it there. wittyandsarcasticbookclub.home.blog #fantasybook #booksky #bookblog #sffblogger 📚💙

I finished Blindsight. It took me a month to complete the book. Hard SF is a complicated language. Give thanks to my trusty partner, the dictionary. You were great. 😀 Thought-provoking ideas and immersive reading, I love a challenging book. #book, #booksky, 📚💙, #sciencefiction

Apparently today is the US release of ALIEN CLAY by Adrian Tchaikovsky, a book I really loved & one which engages in a very crunchy way with alien life and with what you might call the 'revolution story' in science fiction. Strongly recommended.

Finished The Spear Cuts Through Water yesterday - so good. Dense, fun, unpredictable, brutal, beautiful. Hard to compare to anything else. Imagine the grandad from Princess Bride reading to you a Malazan book full of Ghibli characters. 📚💙

I read Of Charms, Ghosts and Grievances by Aliette de Bodard. I'm so glad I read this one immediately after the first installment. I want to read more about these two, Thuan and Asmodeus. So there, I will have to hunt them down. LOL #novella #bookreview 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This decision (and every decision he’s been part of with regards to ANYTHING health or insurance related) has killed people. Full stop. This man turned on the American people for a fucking RV and he should be prosecuted but failing that, for fucks sake please dilute his power.
