Full disclosure: I know Alex Cochran. But that’s not why I was so knocked out by this book. ‘The Pollutant Speaks’ is a beautifully written exploration of themes I’m already obsessive about: social justice, the philosophy of language, aliens, big spaceships…
I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon#Bookstodon#Scifi#ScienceFiction
Somewhat meh set of April reads, though The Night Tiger and The Hunter were definitely high points. Some fun romances by Alexis Hall and Cat Sebastian too.
Check out these two great boardbooks for toddlers. They are both published by Soaring Kite Books and focus on little ones mental and physical well-being : they introduce topics that empower and nurture the development of the whole child.
can someone please explain to me why some books do that thing where the cover doesn't go all the way to the edge? like, the cover has a half-inch strip missing to expose the page underneath (usually the page underneath has quotes or whatever).
My hot take on one of my biggest #bookish pet peeves - YA should be labeled 'Teen', not 'Young Adult'. It's extremely confusing, it's the reason why YA ends up mixed in with NA smut in stores, by definition it's unclear; Young adult means late teens to early-mid 20s, and by that definition non-readers assume 'young ADULT' means someone of age. There really needs to be a clear differentiation between NA and YA.
Champ is an incredible picture book about being yourself despite family pressure. Translated from Iranien, Champ is truly a treasure. The illustrations are very unique and I really love the main character who decides to stay unique and different. Despite all the difficulties, he really tries to please his family, but things don’t go as expected.
