I said goodbye to 2022 with a space murder mystery and stuck with the genre for my first book of 2023: @maryrobinette 's delightful The Spare Man! Was expecting some light-hearted, feel-good romp so the body count took me by surprise! 

Loved everything about #TheSpareMan but I'll note the entertaining characters, the most loveable dog ever committed to paper, and the obvious care and attention put into matters of diversity, inclusion and sensitivity.

This left me pumped to re-read The Calculating Stars, an absolute banger of a book by the same author, before diving further into the rest of Lady Astronaut series!

Been meaning to do that since forever. At the time I even re-bought the first two books as physical editions for my teen daughter (I myself prefer e-books because of convenience, don't shoot me!) so we could both read along, but SF isn't her favorite genre and she's got her own interests and passions... meaning we didn't get around to it. Then came the pandemic and - good grief! - it feels like all of that happened in a different geological age, doesn't it?
