This book is the May Pick for Scifi, voted by you lovely people! It covers the scifi and LGBTQ author/story squares in this year's Bookclub Bingo! The entire series won the 2019 Hugo Award for Best Series and this novel in particular was the winner of the 2017 Prix Julia Verlanger! The award is run by the Fondation de France, and is awarded to “a science fiction work of adventure, fantasy or fantastique.” The award was created by Jean-Pierre Verlanger in memory of his wife, who wrote under the pseudonym Gilles Thomas. It was originally self published and was later picked up by Hodder & Stoughton and republished by Harper Voyager. Welcome to the galaxy! It’s a long, strange trip to anywhere! This is the schedule post for the discussions for the space adventure, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. “Ninety percent of all problems are caused by people being assholes.” The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers Book 1) I'd love to hear what others thought about this beautiful space story! I think this book is a fantastic way to recover from a reading slump and improve mood :) I'm so glad I found out about this novel and I'd love to read other works by Chambers!
I would highly reccomend this to anyone who wants a comfortable/unintimidating sci fi novel with interesting ideas, wholesome characters, accessible language, steady pacing, and interpersonal relationships. This book was just what I needed during a stressful period. Luckily, it appears that this book is a part of a series, so I'm glad to know that I'll be able to "go" on another adventure with these sweet space characters again (if I can get my hands on a copy of the next book!) I feel a bit sad too, since I feel quite connected to the characters now and I did not want the book to end (I started flipping pages really slowly at the end haha). I really enjoyed how the book focused on interpersonal relationships between all of the different characters, and I loved the little bits of humour and pacing of the story. I feel really warm inside after reading this novel. I just finished reading this very comforting science fiction book.
