Incredibly stressful. I’m glad it’s not played off as a comedy, unlike some other recent reads.

mm. i was disappointed. at first, it felt like it had the potential to be like "the imperial radch", but with more of a sino-futurist approach. I had also hoped for more with it being given a rec as hopepunk. I just couldn't get into the characters and didn't feel hopeful at all. I think it would be good for fans of "Murderbot" if you're willing to see the book through to its sequels.

Got this on sale from a secondhand book store. I'm interested in learning more about Buddhism because of a friend, and I like getting to hear an Asian American perspective of it.

Pixel finished reading All This Could Be Different by Sarah Thankam Mathews
Freaking amazing. This is the queer realistic fiction I've been craving. Still a bit coming of age but in the way that people in their mid twenties get caught between youth and adulthood. Was wondering why it was set in 2008 but it makes sense I think.
