pickHere you‘re on one end of the phone. If you‘re lucky, you‘re the one calling, and not feeling like you‘re on hold. High school, New York City, and Earth itself are lonely places, but there‘s a miracle found in these oceans of people—surviving and living together. If one were to look from afar, the vision of coexistence would be radiant, fascinating, and maybe even beautiful.
I'm almost done and this book has been pretty interesting overall - but I REALLY need more xenomorphs tbh. This one is suffering from a general lack of alien creatures given it being part of a larger franchise that prides itself on the titular monster. 😅
Today's library haul!
pickI‘m VERY late to the party for this #LSFBC #LitsySciFiBookclub and May #bookspin pick.
It took me three tries and several weeks to get past page 100. I almost dnf‘d this one. I‘m so glad I didn‘t. Once it clicked for me I really enjoyed it.

so-soI thought the art and character designs were cool, but in terms of the story, I felt the pacing wasn't for me. We follow a comic artist who feels like their art (and life) is missing purpose, a spark, *something*. Then they encounter an alien who reveals that Earth is going to be destroyed. It's pretty much a rollercoaster of events after that. If you like fast paced stories with a *saving the world* theme, I think you'll like this.
pickHow cute is this book? Spoiler alert: SO cute! [This has not yet been tested on the grands, but I'm completely entertained.]
pickThis book made me WHEEZE because I was laughing so hard - the yeerks have a major weakness and it‘s maple and ginger instant oatmeal. Jake had a monologue about oatmeal not playing a major role in famous historical battles and Rachel solved problems by going through walls in elephant morph and making it Visser Three‘s problem by throwing the oats into a yeerk pool and him in after it.
No notes.
