‘Warning: After you read this book you will believe in alien life.‘

A decent sequel to Strieber‘s memoir Communion. I will have to get the rest of the books as I didn‘t realize there were more in between.

Book 5/Communion

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An adorable sci-fi take on A Visit from St Nicholas, aka the 'Twas the night before Christmas' poem. Itty bitty short story that falls between the first and second book in the series. Just the thing for a cozy Christmas Eve read. ☺️ [Would post as separate review if Litsy has a listing for it.🙎🏼‍♂️]

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!
The silliness and the warmth, that compassionate, gently teaching vibe. Similar to Becky Chambers in that sometimes it takes the author speaking through alien species to remind humans there are more accepting, kinder ways to act towards yourself and others. Main character is ace and agender, also disability rep with asthma and allergies, and some of the early medical discussion 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? makes me think maybe an autoimmune condition? The conversation about gender/sex/pronouns, the lonely robot's remarks on programming, basically everyone's assertion on not apologizing for what your body needs, for asking when you need help, for expressing specific wants rather than accepting endless disappointment in the effort not to upset others. 11mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/? And then there's the linguistic fun: a translation/AI that has literal or figurative mode, the gobbledygook of alien space tech being filled in by well known pop culture sci fi jargon, the unswearing robot managing to creatively get her(?) point across without curse words in a flurry of syllabically matched sound-alikes. 11mo
Robotswithpersonality 4/? The sheer imagination on display in the different species encountered, and how some of the more practical matters of finding oneself on an alien ship might play out. And the marvelously true-feeling experience of Spock the dog given voice. Oh, yes, I am overjoyed this is a series and will be continuing ASAP. 11mo

Robotswithpersonality 5/5 Just saw the author described as writing 'sci-fi without the pew-pew'; while there are a couple of action-heavy moments in this book, the overall 'not about a space war' vibe is one I can get behind. Kay Eluvian's narration is flawless and the audiobook production is splendid. 11mo
Singout Ace agender disability expressing needs Algonquin Park = +; not available in audio in my library = 😞 11mo
Robotswithpersonality @Singout NOOOooooo! Oh that blows, sorry to hear it! Weirdness on my end, it wasn't available through my Libby (primary library audiobook) app but via Hoopla library subscription - any chance you've got a similar disconnected subscription option on your end? 11mo
TieDyeDude This sounds amazing! Always on the lookout for ace rep, and can't go wrong with Becky Chambers-vibes 😁 Stacked. 11mo
Robotswithpersonality @TieDyeDude Wish you much enjoyment! 11mo

“Check out your floopy, floppy ears! How adorable are you!“

What do you say upon first contact with the (rainbow pastel, dog-sized) rabbit-looking aliens. 🤦🏼‍♂️[6 minutes into this audiobook, already in love. ] 😆

I normally do not like to compare new books to classics, but this is a great read if you are a fan of Hitchhikers Guide. Lem is kidnapped with her dog by bounty hunting alien bunnies. She meets others kidnapped by the bunnies and they try to survive together - making friends along the way of course! The book is a bit over the top, but I found it funny and lots of fun. I have been missing Becky Chambers book and thus was a crazier substitute.

On my walk with this funny book that gives off Hitchhikers Guide vibes and saw these melting flowers in a neighbor's yard. It has been HOT in PDX lately.

repost for @TheSpineView:

Nominations are now open to pick our June book for #LitsySciFiBookClub Please suggest one book you would like to read that falls into the Sci-Fi genre. Offshoots like Space Opera works too. Since I'm on vacation starting tomorrow, and will have little to no internet, the voting will remain open until the 23rd.

Hope everyone is coming along with May's selection, The Three Body Problem.
