Repost for @TheSpineView

The April selection for the #LitsySciFiBookClub had changed to The Calculating Stars since the original choice, which was self-published, is not available at this time. Please let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list. Happy Reading! ❤️📖🛸

This storytelling is very unique which has a lot to do with how much I enjoyed this book. The wording is also quite lyrical. Jakub, a scientist, has a chance of a lifetime to go to space. The story is mostly told in his head as the reader learns about his family, his upbringing, the relationship with his wife, Lenka, and Russian/Czech politics. There‘s also an alien spider friend! The solitariness of Jakub reminds me a bit of Life of Pi.

On a Sunbeam is a sci-fi, coming-of-age, queer love story about found family told in two different timelines. Tillie Walden drew and wrote the whole graphic novel in a smaller panel manga format. Muted colors accentuate the minimalist illustrations. My only issue is the slight lack of character development for the secondary characters.

Oh, this book! 😍 Evolutionarily-accelerated spiders and octopuses in space, you say? Yes, and I loved it! It's exciting, wildly imaginative, and a proper thinky book to get the synapses firing. What more can you ask? A prominent neuro-divergent human character (Senkovi ❤️)? A third book in the series to look forward to? There's that, too. 🕷️🐙💫

I had someone last week ask me for a recommendation for a YA Sci-Fi book and this is one of the ones I recommend. So it was the first book I thought of.

AmandaBlaze Love this series. I reread it every so often. (edited) 1w
TheSpineView @AmandaBlaze I loved it too. When I made the recommendation I was thinking it was time to reread. You should host a read along. I'm in if you do. 1w

#BookReport
Excellent reading week as I've managed to finish my commute book and my physical book. I enjoyed my time with both.

#WeeklyForecast
Goal this week is to make progress on OaFK and hopefully finish Counterfeit as I have to lead the discussion for it at work.

I loved this novel. I haven't read a Man vs Nature story in a long time and this was a very interesting spin on it. I do think some characters lacked characterization but they all felt unique in their own right. I love how everyone came together in the end and different parties working towards the same goal. It really made me feel hope for humanity. Great read.

This was kind of a wild ride and I really enjoyed it. It's a tiny bit confusing and a little slow to start but once i was in I was in. I think one of its strengths is that most of the characters aren't truly good or evil lots of shades of gray. In some ways it kind of reminds me of Mindy St. Claire on The Good Place.
