Our joint read for this month (science fiction). Sneaking in a few minutes of reading while waiting for my daughter‘s basketball game to start. This will wrap up our 2024 joint read - my partner and I alternate picks each month to read and discuss.
pickNovella about a werebear trying to decide between possible love interests: a werewolf, a fae, and a mortal human.
Amusing paranormal rom-com. Not really my genre but I enjoyed it without feeling I must rush out to get more of the genre or the author.

pickThis is a pick x1000.
If you enjoy SF and LitSF I would highly recommend this. It's very short, it's beautifully written, and is highly political. I want to force strangers in the street to read it. So please stack add, go read the first chapter, let yourself get sucked into the writing.
pickThis was such a strange and wonderful book. I didn't realize an alien invasion romance was something I would love so much. But Denver's mission to understand recent bizarre events with the handsome Ezra was heartwarming, & heart-pounding, & so unique. The character journeys during the crisis were so well written. Denver is non-binary & autistic so he believes everyone in his small town dislikes him. But he is determined to save the town anyway
pick☄️☄️☄️☄️
This was lots of fun. Short and sweet, and almost cozy. Definitely want to read the next in the series.

pickA really fun, fast space adventure that I enjoyed thoroughly. Our narrator is spunky, funny and independent and is definitely hiding something. It‘s fun trying to work out what and then how it‘s all going to play out. I loved the cast of side characters also and the banter with our main man.
Fantastic novella. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital arc!
pickInventive and detailed world-building make this a fascinating read, although it gets overly complicated at times. Ahilya is the sole archeologist in her society, which is dominated by the architects, who have the power to manipulate plants and keep their floating city in the sky. Her husband Iravan is a senior architect, a secretive position that has created distance between them. A gripping tale of survival, power and a marriage in trouble.

pick"Crucifixus Etiam" by Walter M. Miller Jr is the final story, and a case of leaving the best until last.
Manue Nanti is a Peruvian manual worker in a work team terraforming Mars. His high-altitude physiology needs less expensive support to breathe the thin Martian atmosphere, but this results in irreversible biological changes that make a return to earth at the expiry of his five year contract unlikely.
