I put my book down to go look at the sky. Did not disappoint.

Open day! Here‘s the reveal of my #scififantasyswap box from @MaleficentBookDragon 📦 I really appreciate the homemade bookslip, and I‘m excited to try the coffee and chocolate from Fuddy Duddy‘s! ☕️ 🍫 Aurorarama has been on my TBR list for a long time; it will be good to make its acquaintance. The extra book was a nice surprise, too! I 💗 the Kurt Vonnegut buttons!! Thank you! ☮️ Thank you @Avanders for another fun swap! 📚 #SFFS
The retro-scifi short flick Aurora is finally out. I kickstarted it and it's cute. Happily, the first time-hopping Nazi gets killed by the space monster, as well he should. There is also an unfortunate twist ending though, especially considering who is the current US president.
Unrelated to the tagged book.
I've posted this before. I'll post it again. My favorite quote. If I ever get a tattoo, it will be the first sentence of this.

This is what notorious bibliophile and libertine Gabriel D'allier is thinking to himself as he looks upon the glittering lights of the Arctic city of New Venice and slowly freezes to death (or begins to, before the polar kangaroo shows up) in Jean-Christophe Valtat's weird wild icepunk novel, Aurorarama. It is my #favoritequote for #riotgrams

I have no #bookishtattoos for #riotgrams but I've always said that if I ever got one it would be this quote about Gabriel D'Allier as he stares at the Arctic city of New Venice in Jean-Christophe Valtat's weird wild icepunk novel Aurorarama. Also the quote I am most likely to doodle on my agendas during workshops and faculty meetings.
Enough inventions to uphold your wonder, and enough atmosphere for you to forget where you are. These #steampunk novels are set somewhere in a wintry frozen climate called New Venice. I've enjoyed Aurorarama, but have not traveled into Luminous Chaos yet. These French novels are just right for this time of year.
A city made of ice-palaces, with endless expanses of crystalline ice. Oh, a sentient ice burg, too! Brrrr! A lovely adventure in the manner of A Winter's Tale. #chillyreads #photoadaynov16
