A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. Wonderful, with characters lovingly rendered. Something like cozy solarpunk?
Jessica the Wizard Eats a Third Horse by Jason Steele (of Charlie the Unicorn renown) is my alt-read at the moment. He posted about his novelettes on his Patreon, and I bought the bundle of 4 on itch.io. Gloriously silly. I can't remember ever laughing so hard while reading before.
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman for non-fiction. I'm hopeful it jibes with my flavor of ADHD. I heard him on Adam Conover's podcast and it sounded like an antidote to all the methods and systems I've tried before.
A Psalm for the Wild-Built is wonderful. The sequal recently came out too, called A Prayer for the Crown-Shy.
Def will be reading the sequel. She's a good world-builder, too—there's plenty of lore and history, but little to no exposition, we're figuring things out as we go. Just how I like it.
oh that's a fun one i've seen around. will have to add it to my... ever growing reading list (over 400 right now AAAAAA)
