"In Joshua's opinion, if you wanted to extend the biblical metaphor, then this apocalypse had four horsemen of its own, their names being Greed, Failing to Follow the Rules, Confusion and Miscellaneous Abrasions. Joshua had got sick of having to save the Saved."

If I had a nickel for everytime one of Terry Pratchett's characters gets chased by wolf-like creatures in a strange life or death game, I'd have two nickels

Book haul from visiting two bookstores today, though these came from the less smutty second store

Raft: A Stephen Baxter book I am repurchasing bc my copy was lost with the storage unit. Life in a literal AU where the only difference is that gravity is a billion times stronger than our universe.

The Wild Robot: The book the movie is based on, and I really really like the movie a lot.

Aliens: 3 Complete books in one; One takes place in Medieval times, apparently. Another takes place in some future, unclear how it relates to the original timeline yet but colonial marines are mentioned. The third one is about Lt. Vasquez from Aliens!

1984|Julia: my favorite tale of oligarchical collectivism but from the perspective of Julia, instead of Winston
