Obviously, they don’t have to slide into the cozy genre. But what books do you cuddle up with during a thunderstorm, or your variable weather of choice? Personally, Becky Chambers has become one of my favorites. I also read LOTR when I need a “good guys doing the right thing just because it’s the right thing to do”.

      I totally just saw the headline and missed your comment that included Becky Chambers. I’m still getting used to Lemmy/Beehaw. Sorry for the reading comprehension fail!

      No that’s totally reasonable because A Psalm for the Wild Built is such a great book. I need to read A Prayer for the Crown Shy though. That one I’m waiting for my turn for the copy on Libby

        I went ahead and bought all of the Long Way series from my local bookstore. I broke down and bought the audio books from Apple for the monk and robot series. I’ll buy them in paperback too when I can get to the bookstore and order them.

      Has there been hints of any new Becky Chambers book that you’ve heard of? The news section of otherscribbles.com doesn’t have anything since nearly a year ago.

      When I was deep in the sleep deprived zone of new parenthood, listening & readying to Beckychambers books on audio book was just perfect. I was too fragile to deal with any horribly dark or dense sci-fi books (that so many seem to be) and her books always felt like a nice cup of tea (pretty appropriate considering psalm for the wild-built!)

      We are expecting our second and I’d love to have a new Becky chambers book to read or listen to when we restart the new born saga!
