#love that for me #the scourge between stars #ness brown

January read for my irl book club!

A bite-sized space thriller in the vein of Alien - good for an afternoon of reading, but not the best or most original of its genre.

If anybody's interested, astrophysicist Ness Brown's The Scourge Between Stars is an Alien-esque space horror featuring a Black lesbian/bisexual protagonist and some interesting commentary on men and their sexual exploitation of the female sex 👀👀

#it's really short too for anyone looking for something short (only 200 pages)#radblr #ness brown #the scourge between stars #(i dislike comparing it to alien bc i hate that movie but yeah)

so i'm 41 pages into THE SCOURGE BETWEEN STARS and my two (2) potential solutions to the problems plaguing jack and her crew are as follows, in the order they occurred to me:

1. throw gideon nav on board with her sword or

2. send murderbot and art

#text #personal #books #reading #the scourge between stars #ness brown #murderbot #gideon nav #okay gideon solo would not do well i dont think #shed need Help #but jack called Navigation just Nav so gideon is on the brain 😂#anyway horrible news: book is small enough to slide between wall and bed and now i gotta go fishing #art

Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez

This book sent me into a RAGE while I was reading it but it is something absolutely everyone should read at some point. It explains just how much the world absolutely does not even CONSIDER women when making decisions or plans that impact us. It talks about everything from city planning, to crash test dummies in cars, to medical testing and medical advice, the list goes on. It also gives really incredible examples of how much it can benefit everyone when women ARE consulted and included, including a really interesting story from a town in Sweden (i think, sorry its been like 8 months since i read this) that simply changed the order of when they plow snow (starting with sidewalks and then doing the streets, instead of streets first) and how it literally ended up saving the city MILLIONS. Everyone should read this book.

The Scourge Between Stars by Ness Brown

I got recommended this Novella in a book recommendation service i use (Tailored Book Recommendations, if you're interested! I love it) and I read it with my best friend. It's sci-fi horror, very much Alien vibes (creepy monsters board a space ship, start killing people, female heroine, etc). I picked this one though mostly because this is the authors only book, aside from a Warhammer 40,000 short story, and her day job?

Yeah, she's a freaking astrophysicist.

Basically, if you like sci-fi horror, this little novella packs a PUNCH, and im trying to get everyone to read it so that she will come out of her lab/telescope/observatory/super special science place where she's discovering the secrets of the universe and hand us down another banger.

The Scourge Between Stars" by Ness Brown

I've had such a fun time reading this claustrophobic sci-fi/horror. Tune in as the Calypso crew is plucked off one-by-one by an alien hiding within the walls... ⚠️
