  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...

I read a total of 7 books and here are my ratings on them (as well as their respective reviews if applicable): The Tea Dragon Society by Kay O'Neill -a cute and cozy fantasy graphic novel of two friends who learn to raise tea dragons alongside a couple who have experience with all kinds of dragons. Great disability and queer rep. Full review here . 5 stars Cosmoknights 1 by Hannah Templer - a feminist sci-fi graphic novel of a young woman who teams up with two women who star in gladiator-style games to win princesses hearts, but secretly let the princesses go. Full review here . 5 stars Moonstruck 1 by Grace Ellis -an urban fantasy graphic novel of some friends who work at a coffee shop but after an outing goes wrong, they need to reverse one of the friends back to normal.

Bone is one of my favorite series of all time. 5 stars My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead Geo...

  Now this is a book that lives up to the hype! The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers is about a group of space travelers in a spaceship called the Wayfarer who have been selected to create a space tunnel between two planets that recently had a war with each other in hopes to bring peace. The setting is in the far future where Earth has become mostly inhabitable and many humans have left Earth to go live on other planets (mostly Mars). Those humans are called Exodans, by the way. However, the real focus of the story is about the relationships (friendship, family, and romantic) between our main space traveling team and the wordbuilding as they visit and talk about many different planets along the way. The cast is as follows: Rosemary, a human from Mars who gets to work on the Wayfarer as a clerk and is trying to escape her dark past. Then there's Ashby, another human who is the stern but kind captain of the Wayfarer, and is in a relationship with the captain of a...
