Project Hail Mary The audiobook’s nuanced approach to alien communication was beyond memorable, but it was the heartwarming friendship that made the book an all time favorite. A profoundly hopeful story that imagines a humanity that can overcome its differences in a crisis. #BookSky

Penric’s Demon Bujold’s writing is a reminder that the right flaws make a character infinitely more interesting. While it isn’t the strongest novella in the series, it’s a charming introduction to Penric and the unconventional, platonic relationship that underpins the books. #BookSky
#SpiderNoir A noir story with the humor & stylization of Into the Spider-Verse despite its Amazon production. It follows a reluctant hero dealing w/ mobsters, monsters & a femme fatale. Cage was born to play this role. The black-and-white version has some of the most satisfying cinematography on TV
Got further into The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin, and I’m really appreciating the layered worldbuilding and social commentary.
Fantasy, mystery, and horror is probably my favorite genre blend. #HorrorWritersChat
