I can't believe I finally read the last book in this cozy sci fi series! You can read reviews for the first three books here: The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet , A Closed and Common Orbit , and Record of a Spaceborn Few . The Galaxy and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers is set at a rest stop for space travelers. It is owned by a Laru named Ouloo. Her child, Tupo, helps her out around the place. An accident just happened that causes their communication lines and travel tunnels to become inaccessible. So everyone who stopped by when the accident happened is stuck there for several days. But they all try to make the best out of the situation. In this book, aside from Ouloo and Tupo, we also follow: Pei, an Aeuluon who is Ashby's girlfriend from the first Wayfarers book. Speaker and Tracker, two twin sister Akaraks (although we mostly follow Speaker she's she's the one in and out of their ship) Roveg, an Quilin who is on his way to see his children on his home plane...

    This book is the third in the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers . The first two were A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and A Closed and Common Orbit . Click on the titles to read my reviews! Record of a Spaceborn Few  follows five different Exodans (humans who have left Earth and are now living by wandering around space in big spaceships) aboard the ship Asteria . They are: Tessa, a working mom and sister of Ashby from the first book in this series Isabel, an elderly Archivist Kip, a teenager with growing pains Eyas, a caretaker who usually leads funerals Sawyer, originally from the planet Mushtello, looking for a job  While each of their stories seem separate at first, they eventually all come together towards the end. Like all of Becky Chambers's books, this story offers a lot of cool sci-fi worldbuilding and a lot of philosophy.  This book was so great! I just love cozy sci-fi. There's also good queer and disability representation as well. I gave thi...

  This book makes you wonder if immortality is a good idea. It was pretty hard to get ahold of this book, because it's one of the author's older books from the year 2000. I found this copy of it at a library in my area that I don't go to frequently, and they have a lot of older books.  Turnabout by Margaret Peterson Haddix starts out in the year 2000, with a group of centenarians in a nursing home. This group signed on to a be a part of a secret (and illegal) science experiment that will age them backwards. Well, they only age backwards physically.  The story mostly follows two of the participants: Melly and Anny Beth, as they try to survive away from the public eye in the year 2085 as teenagers again. Now that the girls are closer to being babies again, they need to find someone to take care of them.  It is not easy trying to lay low when they live in a world where you practically have no privacy. There is also a tabloid reporter that seems to be trying to track th...

  I read A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet way back in 2022 and I loved it! The review for it is here in case you missed it. I initially said I wouldn't continue with the rest of the series, but with many people telling me the rest of the books were worth it, I changed my mind. So here's my review for book two. In A Close and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers , we follow Pepper, whom we met in book 1 and Sidra, an AI formally known as Lovelace whose programming is now installed a human-like body, referred to as a kit. Lovelace was the AI of the Wayfarer, the ship and its crew we followed in book 1. The book is told in two timelines. The current timeline is about Sidra getting used to her new body and her daily life with Pepper, Pepper's best friend and business partner Blue, and a new friend named Tak, while trying to steer clear of government officials since humanoids with AI in them are illegal. The second timeline is a bunch of flashbacks of Pepper's life before whe...
