I finished reading Project Hail Mary yesterday and I just loved it. It obviously had some issues (why does DuBois speak like a person who was socialized in an underground bunker ala Brendan Fraser in Blast From the Past? and was all the science talk really required? Did every problem get solved too easily?) but mostly the relationship with Grace and Rocky sustained me and made me feel things. If you were a Challenger obsessed kid excited for Christa McAuliffe to go to space, you might feel things too.

This is fan art from a wiki fan page and I love it.

His little tool belt!

I need to read something by a woman after my latest streak of dude authors so I’m going with My Brilliant Friend. If you hated it, don’t tell me.

Ok, one Rocky quote for the road. “You will miss me, question? I will miss you. You are friend.” Bye.
