I'm so excited to spend my weekend hiking, riding trains, and reading WORLD WITHOUT END. (My preorder came early!!)
I've been following Martha Park's work for years (she was my camp counselor in high school!) and her essays are so moving and thoughtful. I might have already cried a lil bit

A Photo From Rota, Spain, 1963 - a poem for my grandmother.
It's pretty bittersweet. Thanks to boats against the current for giving it a home.

LOST IN SPACE x SKYWARD
After pirates ransack their luxury space cruise, Flora must steal a spaceship and scour the universe to find her sister again before she's lost to the stars for good. But she's not just a victim of fate--her long-lost mother is the leader of the pirates.

Sky was rejected from her dream college, but she refuses to accept life at her 'safety school'. Her roommate's a competitive gamer, her brother's nosy, and the cute guy on her hall already has a girlfriend... Surviving a year without getting attached sounded easy until she tried.

It's basically the same as brothership but instead of a boring "brothership" you have a totally rad Gauntlet Runner that looks like this. Hell yeah

I made some new friends at #HoliPit so I thought I'd introduce myself! 👋
I'm Taylor, a writer and software engineer in "sunny" Seattle, WA.
I write #sf and #speculative #YA about smart girls who do stupid things.
I also play the cello 🎻 and talk way too much about video games (mostly Persona).
