The lists this book is on at made me more curious to read it: Books where people are nice to each other, Systems-Flipping Fiction, Solarpunk, Ecosocialism, Degrowth etc. I never read fiction but this might be for me. https://bookwyrm.social/book/102058/s/a-psalm-for-the-wild-built

Fantastic book by a fantastic author! Do try her other stuff. I won’t spoil it, but there is a paragraph in the last wayfarers book where aliens are discussing cheese and I have never laughed so hard.

“We’re all just trying to be comfortable, and well fed, and unafraid.”

“There’s just some things in the universe that are better left un-fucked-with.”

So many Becky Chambers sentences getting jotted down in my reader's notebook. Some of them should feel twee, but don't, which says something about both the world she's written and the world we're living in.

I do that too - a book as a souvenir, and then years and decades later, I can always remember where I bought it. That bookshop sounds good.

@CiaraNi

Powells is indeed great. I'm visiting Portland again in October and that is high on the agenda.

"Gentle, hopeful tales full of love and artistry. Exactly what the world needs."

That's a lovely description. That's it. This is my first Becky Chambers and I already have my next one on the way from the library.
