There's something so refreshing and enjoyable about Becky Chambers Wayfarers novels.
A silhouette of a person standing atop a hill surrounded by a night sky full of stars spread across the universe.

Me: *waits patiently for the latest @markokloos.bsky.social novel to be released* Corvus comes out, and 24 hours later I've demolished it in one sitting... Back to waiting for Eclipse and Cygnus... Ps. Corvus is a great addition to the Frontlines series and one any Sci-fi fan will enjoy.

Death Valley is delightfully charming. Really hoping it gets a second series as the chemistry between Timothy Spall & Gwyneth Keyworth is bloody lovely.

I really enjoyed The Score when it was released back in 2021. It felt incredibly bold, confident and frankly different to see a musical heist as a debut feature. It's a shame it wasn't more widely seen at the time, and well worth checking out. #film
