| I love this beautiful book about a kid figuring out what kind of person he wants to be. Trip, and his (human, fallible, but always loving at the core) cast of family and friends will stick with me for a long time. | |

Oh, this is the best book I've read in AGES. Four short stories and novella. Sci-fi, queer lens. (Think This Is How You Lose The Time War, though honestly, this book grabbed me harder.) For me, Uranians is the perfect cross-section of big ideas, gorg ...more |

“Creamy-looking custards were followed by beautifully decorated slices of cake. Crisp-shelled pastries were set down next to gooey-centered pies. Dainty little goblets featuring ice cream and sorbet came out on a silver tray, and a pungent aroma rose off a long wooden board that was dotted with more kinds of cheese than Gladys had ever seen,”
