@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I love the new Becky Chambers series as well, the Monk and Robot series. How High We Go in the Dark is one of my favorite recent books but there are some really grim parts to it and it does talk about a pandemic, though not this pandemic, but another pandemic, so fair warning.

@[email protected] Becky Chambers seems to be the MVP of the genre. Thanks for the heads up on How High We Go, I'll put that a little further down the list.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Yeah I definitely don't want to yuck anyone's yum and HHWGITD is a GREAT book but it's got some tough parts especially for (some) parents and I always try to point it out.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] now that I think about it, there were some parts where I wasn't sure I wanted to continue because of that content. I don't remember whether it had a content warning up front, but if not, it could have used one.
