@thebaywindowgirl Wonderful

@jdtoy Welcome to the neighbourhood!

“We don’t have to fall into the same category to be of equal value.”

“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.

@BRicker @ar387 That's a clever way to reuse them. We have a nice example here (Aarhus, Denmark) too. A 78m wooden building that champions sustainable architecture. All the window sun shades are made from recycled wind turbine blades.

@benjaminlj That's an interesting observation. Yes.

@tryberg @alex_oe I am itching to read that one too now. I'm waiting on an inter-library reservation. So if there's only one library copy in the kingdom and you're the one reading it, no pressure!

@alex_oe It's the first one I've read of hers. Good to hear the others are great too - I am already looking forward to the next one.

@stepschwarz Ah, snap! 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.

@ownlife Agreed. It really is.

@TashTaylor It's gone straight on to my favourite list too! I look forward to reading more by her.

@baz @petros @radundtat Sounds good - I am already looking forward to reading more by her. Optimistic and full of community - that's it. Thanks for the tip.

@fgraver

"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.

@FranceskaMann That seems like a good sign! (Pun not actually intended.) Awful to have a neighbour like that. I hope things improve there, both locally and nationally.

@paperposts Wonderful. I thought at first that it was an old watercolour of a medieval village on a hill.

@wonderfox_floof To be fair to all our libraries, this one is unique, even in Denmark

@meganL Hahaha!

@Bodo To be fair, this one is unique, in Denmark too.

@psneeze Oh what a pity. That's a lovely building and I can well imagine it was a great spot for lounging and looking.

@NellytheWillow Yes indeed. A lot of careful work keeping it so beautiful.

@thisislieven Awesome indeed
