Really enjoyed Autumn by Ali Smith. It’s a quick, easy read but is clever and funny. Bonus points for featuring Pauline Boty who deserves to be better known.

This book won prizes and acclaim but I just found it profoundly depressing….

A funny and enjoyable satire on the publishing industry with some serious ideas about identity, success and self image.

This book has some lovely descriptions of the beauty of our planet and the destruction of it by humans but I found it repetitive and ultimately unsatisfying

A new writer to me but I’ll be reading many more books by Louise Erdrich in the future

My hold finally came in! Unfortunately I’m working today and won’t get to pick it up until Monday night!😫
On the other hand, it gives me a few days to work on the books I picked up last week🤭

Book 31 of 2025 North Continent Ribbon by Ursula Whitcher

A collection of short stories in a shared world/universe. Overall fairly enjoyable, at times confusing & nebulous.

Book 30 of 2025 The Third Rule of Time Travel by Philip Fracassi

Not one I'd recommend. Might have been a decent thriller with more action or gone deeper into the speculative end.

Book 29 of 2025 Where the Axe Is Buried by Ray Nayler

Where the world is headed? Feels a bit to spot on w/the current political climate, but also offers hope. Nayler is someone I'll continue to read.

Matthew WK's review of The Fountains of Paradise
3/5: 3.5 Stars. Enjoyed the story well enough with the engineering aspects most appealing. I can imagine the impact this had in 1970s SF as these newish ideas were brought to the mainstream.

It was alright, but with the plethora of good SF out there, not one I'd recommend. Fee like it would have been better served as a novella.
