The book has a Truman Show vibe, but instead of the protagonist living a perfect life, he is wandering the town with lost memories, all while immersed in action and thriller elements. I'm only through the first book, but it's been an engaging book so far. (🎧)

Orbital | Samantha Harvey

Samantha Harvey's “Orbital“ was a book that instantly caught my eye in one of Berlin's small bookstores. It's a book on the thinner side, but sometimes the most profound ideas come in compact packages. The premise sounds promising. I'll report back once I've finished!

The Spell of Seven | L. Sprague de Camp

Second edition of this collection of seven sword and sorcery tales. Published 1968, bought 1979, finally made it off Mount TBR 2025. 49 years of well-aged magic and mayhem! 😄

This is a comfort read as I've actually read many of the stories in other collections. Some favourite characters here, including Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, Elric of Melniboné and Conan the Barbarian. Let the swashbuckling begin! ⚔️

This was so good even though it deals with the tough parts of colonization. Even though I was spoiled for a big plot point it still had a lot of power when it happened. Totally recommend going in blind though.

The re-read was just as good! All ready for number 5 next week and going to see Samantha talk about it ♥️

I finished Katherine Addison‘s forthcoming novel last night and now I‘m BEREFT. Gonna try to drown my sorrows in Duffy snuggles and early-90s dark fantasy. C.S. Friedman is one of those authors I‘ve always been AWARE of but never quite managed to read, so it‘s about time I gave her work a try. It‘s off to a promising start.

Leniverse I remember that one as being really good! But I actually read it in the 90s so who knows what I would think of it today 😅 12h
xicanti @Leniverse so many of the things I loved back then haven‘t aged well, but thus one‘s well-written so far! Interesting worldbuilding, too. 9h

Murder by Memory | Olivia Waite

This novella, a cute cozy mystery set on a generation starship, was a nice read but I felt there was nothing to hold on to. At times, I felt intrigued by ideas Waite presented but they were always sacrificed for brevity (this is a scant 112 pages). It ends up just being cozy space vibes which is fine, I guess, but I've already forgotten what intrigued me about it...
