Dead & Breakfast by @kathillisauthor.bsky.social and @rosieethor.bsky.social is so GOOD. It blends laugh out loud dialogue, with heartwrenching character motivations, and an adorable lil kitty🌈

Thanks to @booktasters.bsky.social I got a free copy of Endeavor's Run by Tobin Marks. This is an interesting Sci-Fi, where Earth has been destroyed and re-built, and a mysterious signal is picked up from a ship that left millennium ago.
