Evacuated and safe from the altadena fire. Stopped off for some puppy cuddles and lil Daisy shares my sentiment.

Still thinking back to my honeymoon around Italy with my amazing wife. Maybe I should write a book about that? 🤔 📚💙

Any recs for sci-fi books that qualify as optimistic or fantastical uses of science? I find this more common in older books, like Silverberg or Bester, but I'm into new books too. 📚 💙 🪐 #booksky

I'm halfway through this gem and liking it. It's an older book, and has its problems, but the characters are so real. I love a good world building, but it's also nice to see sci-fi that focuses on the characters and explains as little science as possible. 📚💙🪐 #currentlyreading
