I never, ever read genre fiction, but I got a copy of A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot, #1) in a Secret Santa book swap and I am very excited to give it a go. #scifi #solarpunk #booksky

I just finished a final draft of a novel after YEARS of working on it and I'm having trouble feeling done-done, you know? And I was JUST thinking about your book (which I love) and then you popped up in my feed. So...hello! Enjoy your residency.

I have a reoccurring nightmare that I can’t get out of #Sweden, mostly because I forget when my flight is and where the airport is located and what day it is. The upside is that I kind of move to Sweden. I just wish I could relax into it more. πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ
