We Have Always Been Here | 
My mini bookhaul from Elliott Bay books. And my view for the week (when I'm not looking at my computer screen).
The next row in my #readinglogsnake is for my first 5-star book of the year, We Have Always Been Here by Lena Nguyen. This book is a Sci-Fi Thriller, so I decided to use a yarn that had both colors that I have chosen to represent for each genre (blue for science fiction and grey for thriller). This book was fantastic! Perfect creepy atmosphere. 5/5 ⭐️ #ARRCReads #BooksAndCrafts
so-soA bit of a mixed bag, with a ton of great ideas but a structure that undercuts the story‘s suspense at multiple points. The ending didn‘t quite pull things together for me, either.

pickAn absolutely unputdownable sci-fi thriller about a psychologist on a spaceship. When the crew begins to succumb to strange symptoms and even the ship's androids start malfunctioning, everything Dr. Park thought she knew about their mission is called into question. And nothing--not the crew, not the mission, and not the planet itself--is what it seems.
"The day after they landed on the new planet, Park woke to a pair of strong metal arms pinning her down."

pickI‘m just past the halfway point with this book, but I love it more and more with each page I turn. I love the protagonist, love the androids, love this author! Starts off full of science then the fiction and depth of characters take over now I‘m trapped and don‘t want to leave the space the author created for me😃
pick4/5
This sci-fi psychological thriller takes place on the uncharted planet Eos. The crew of the Deucalion is trying to uncover Eos's mysteries. Psychologist Dr. Park knows something strange is going on, and when a strange psychological condition begins to spread among the crew, she knows she has to figure out what's going on. It's an incredible debut, and I can't wait to see what Nguyen writes next.
