Title : Project Hail Mary Author : Andy Weir Publication Year: 2021 Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pages : 496 Source : audiobook @storytel.tr Genre : science fiction Awards : winner of the Dragon Award, Goodreads Choice Awards, Audie Award, & Seiun Award Best Translated Long Work; Finalist for the Canopus Award, Hugo Award, Xingyun Award, & Premio Italia International Science Fiction Novel Finally, I listened to PHM and joined the fan club. This book is ridiculous levels of fun. Our main guy, Ryland Grace, is basically a Deadpool-ish chaos ex-academic now a high school teacher, but with actual degrees, better manners, and a lab coat. He’s wildly scientific, absurdly resourceful, and somehow still spends half the book roasting himself so hard I was giggling out loud. The two “voices” of Grace—especially the self-deprecating one—had me belly-laughing while he’s out there, you know, casually trying to stop the end of the world on an interstellar field trip. Did I immensely enjoy the b...

Title : The Accidental Author : Ali Smith Publication Year: 2005 Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 Pages : 305 Source : book Genre : literary fiction, postmodern, experimental Awards : winner of the Whitbread Award; shortlisted for the Orange Prize, the Man Booker Prize, & James Tait Black Memorial Prize In Ali Smith’s  The Accidental , apparently, nothing is accidental, and everything is unbelievably weird.  I’ve read five of her novels so far, and every single time I think, “Okay, this one is the weirdest,” only to pick up the next book and realize she has somehow leveled up on weird again. What I adore about Smith is her style. I love books that leave me completely confused at the end, doubting my own reading comprehension, and low‑key wondering if I’m just not smart enough to know whether I understood anything at all. That’s my happy place, apparently. Unlike her other novels, which often begin in the future or at the end and then rewind to the beginning or the middle, this o...
