Mehso-so

This is an intriguing idea - a space opera inspired by the little mermaid, focusing on her quest to save the sick land bound lover she gave everything up for. I quite like Ogden‘s prose, but simultaneously wanted it to be fleshed out as a novel whilst not being sure I had the gumption to read anything longer (but I‘m having A Time and reading is hard right now so that could just be me)

One I can see myself giving a second chance.

shanaqui Huh. Sounds interesting... shame it didn't quite work out.

🤗 Hope you can read when it's sustaining and feel okay about not reading when it's not. (I always find it difficult when people tell me they hope I can get back to reading again and I'm like... “But I just told you it's hard right now, why are you pushing me?“ -- so I hope this wish is a bit less pushy-feeling.)

imyril @shanaqui that‘s a lovely wish, thank you. I‘m finding the GGK reread very comforting; I can get away with tiny fragments of chapters because I know The Summer Tree so well anyway; but it‘s been long enough since i reread it that I‘m finding new things to think about. Novellas and rereads are clearly my best speed right now! 3y
shanaqui @imyril Yeah, I do that when I need to coddle myself through something. It helps. 3y

Humans have evolved into multiple branches in this sci-fi novella. Some live underwater, some on land. The main character had her body altered so that she could move out of the sea and become a land dweller. Her adopted tribe are facing a plague, and she seeks the help of her former best friend to find a cure.

I read this in just a few hours and really enjoyed it!

I made it almost all the way through July without buying books… Then on Thursday I arrived downtown 45 minutes too early for my hair appointment and passed the time at Book People. Does it count as “buying” if it‘s on a gift card? Lol.

Anyway, all of these live with me now 📚😆.

Julsmarshall Gift cards don‘t count as a purchase! I will die on this hill 🤣 4y
Oryx gift cards don't count. They were effectively free. 😀 4y
FelinesAndFelonies @Julsmarshall is 100% correct about this. 🎯 4y

This is an interesting sci-fi story that is like a space-y retelling of The Little Mermaid. It was okay, but I wish it was longer! 💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #roxas
