Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir As Rocky might say this book was perfect perfect perfect! This is the first sci-fi I think I’ve read and oh boy it’s incredible! Ray Porter’s narration paired with the heart & humour of the writing has made this one of the best books I’ve read in 2025. #booksky

How to help indie authors, an unofficial list: 1. Understand that indie = independent. It does not mean rejected. 2. Rate and review on more than one platform. Amazon would be really helpful. 3. If you can’t afford standard paperback copies, e-copies make comparable royalties. (1/2)

Content & trigger warnings are something that I never gave a lot of thought to before studying psychology. Now, I see them for what they are and the benefits they can have for readers. Reading should be an enjoyable experience regardless of what type of book you like. #booksky

Reading about fictional events or experiences activates neurocognitive processes that help to form strong memories. This is especially true of events that elicit a strong emotional response. It's not entirely dissimilar to living through, but it's a different part of the brain. #booksky #socialpsych

Book Review: When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A Parker - Fantasy - Incredible world-building - Magic system based on the four elements - Dragons! - I loved the reveals throughout It's unique in that I haven’t read a fantasy like this, and I didn’t feel like it was a copy of another book.

Image of a book with a black background. A dark image of trees and a castle turret is at the bottom of the book's cover. Swirls of white, pale blue, and silver turn into the image of a dragon down the right-hand side of the cover. The title "When the Moon Hatched" and the author's name - Sarah A. Parker- is in silver font, all in capital letters.
