All caught up with my ratings for my 2025 reads. I have a notebook of thoughts I wrote down about each book, which will one day turn into reviews :). It's been fun revisiting these reads and remembering the defiant joy of choosing to be with these stories.

Oh the mystery! This is why we read. Can't wait till I reunite with this story again tonight. I wish I remembered how I came upon this story so I can thank them; it must has been someone from this wonderful Goodreads community.

Perusing through all the nominees and winners of this year's Goodreads Choice Awards. I like looking at the total votes for each category. Fun fun.

What an engrossing read thus far. I'm savouring the ending for my next session with this most unusual of stories.

My first Book Of The Month ever! Picked this one up because I decided I wanted to try and lean into my darkness. Let's see how this journey goes . . .

Em Grosland's voice for Mosscap the robot is adorkable :)

Diving back into the mind of Tchaikovsky :) Only on chapter 2, and this novella presents with a fascinating meld of fantasy and science fiction. The mysterious tension is remniscent of his Expert Systems novellas, and I'm here for it.

It's been a few days since I've finished reading Automatic Noodle and I'm still craving hand-pulled noodles! 🤖🍜

Peter is starting The Word for World Is Forest (Hainish Cycle, #5)
Picking this one up to let fiction explore current affairs. Though this was written in the early 70s, we still live in a world where might is right.

Eager to explore this novella. Grateful to have such wonders to read and listen to. I hope all my Goodreads friends have a choice story in hand today.

I'm once again in that space between two books, and I'm dreaming of the possibilities. I'm also imagining an Eliot Smith rewrite titled "Between the Books" :)

Coming off another solid Murderbot Diary, I'm excited to pick up my first Tanith Lee book. This one has been on my to-read list for a little while, so I'm pleased to see what curiosities await!

I just walked into a new bookstore cafe in Montreal. It's silly but I like the name, "Joie de Livres". They make it a point to shelve books by genre and not by language. We live in a world where people fear because they do not know, and they retreat to tribalism. Celebrating language diversity instead of enforcing it is the way.

Looking to be enveloped by the soft glow of a Becky Chamber-ish feel, I enter the world of Dorothy Gentleman. Don't worry Murderbot, I will come back to your fun feels soon enough!

The Travelling Cat Chronicles emotionally emptied me. I immediately picked up the fourth in the Murderbot series to level out. Thank you, Murderbot and your familiar soothing ways. Let the new adventure begin . . .

I absolutely love Kevin R. Free's voicing of ART (the Asshole Research Transport). I don't know what this says about me, but I love it.

I unexpectedly enjoyed the first book All Systems Red, and I've been keen to continue this series. Let the adventures of Murderbot commence once again! . . .

The short story "Hook and Line" is so good that I just poured myself a fresh mug of coffee so I could sit down elsewhere and read the story again. I don't think I've ever re-read a story immediately after I've finished it. This story reminds me how much I dislike those "30 Under 30" lists. Youth can be cringy, awkward, and contrived. Give me "calloused hands and tender hearts".

Shout out to the forward-thinking & wise people in today's worldwide rallies in the name of science & research. Many of us on Goodreads are science fiction lovers who have spent a lifetime in these wondrous worlds that are reflections of the research brought forth by humanity. Please give a moment to think about how precious research has been to our collective human condition.

Fellow speculative & science fiction lovers, the Clarkesworld 2024 Finalists are out: https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/clar.... You can vote on your favourites until 15 February!

It's been a joy discovering new voices. Kate Baker's narrations are a joy to listen to. There's a non-fiction section with some informative pieces regarding genetics and the like. Happy reading!

Picked up this novella on whim and partly as a break between the high-concept short stories in Exhalation (I'm letting the last story percolate a bit). Unexpectedly, I laughed during parts of chapter two of All Systems Red. This was a pleasant surprise as I was thoroughly convinced the lighthearted side of me was for now dead (a visit from Death will do that to you). Thank you Murderbot, thank you Martha Wells.
