As a Californian, we can’t stand the guy and I honestly don’t know anyone that likes him/would be excited to vote for him. Especially after the bs he pulled with his podcast. If he can’t even call his own state a slam dunk, he’s a poor choice on the national stage. (1/2)

I love Gideon as a book, but Moira Quirk is one of the few narrators that I will always listen to at normal speed and will actively seek out other books she does. She’s incredible.

a watch maker named Sydney and his mother was a nurse named Verity. This is has got to be a nod to Doctor Who creator Sydney Newman and the shows original producer Verity Lambert. Did anyone else catch that? Am I just slow? Why can’t IMDb ever have cool trivia like that?? 2/2

Oh my gosh yeah. She’s definitely super abrasive and unlikeable by design. Especially in the first two books, she’s such a passive player in what is happening to her so if you go in looking for a Strong Female Character™️ you’re going to be disappointed. The books held up surprisingly well imho

(the original trilogy movies were cowards in this respect and I stand by that), but so many “kid” characters were clearly adults. Oh, and Viola Davis was clearly having a great time. But the movie overall just isn’t great. Makes me worried for the Sunrise adaptation. 3/3

Also, they took away a lot of Lucy Gray’s agency and cleverness. The impact of The Hanging Tree song is so much less because they didn’t explain it properly. I will give them props for using some younger looking kids in the arena 2/3

I’m not a lawyer but I would like to represent this kitten because I can tell they’ve never done anything wrong in their life and my client denounces this as slander.

I guarantee you have a bigger impact on peoples lives than you think. But yeah, therapy is a good place to unpack that.

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin was a huge hit with my precocious kid when she was four. She’s six now and I found her reading it on her own recently. Fabled Stables series by Auxier if you want to go highly illustrated chapter books.

The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill! No robots but lots about how small acts of kindness can change the world.

Just finished the audiobook (bookseller perks for the win!) and it’s a truly stunning piece of work. Still gathering my thoughts but excellent work breaking down the scope of the devastation and the true causes of why this hasn’t been eradicated. Excellent read.

Ancillary Justice is always my go to, but you might also enjoy Psalm for the Wild Built or Gideon the Ninth which are both excellent but VERY different vibes. Also it’s YA but I found Snowglobe to be fascinating. Oh! Service Model by Tchaikovsky.
