Glad to see Project Hail Mary getting the attention it deserves: the film is also an excellent effort by Ryan Gosling.

I finished the 4th Bobiverse book, Heaven's River and am looking forward to the 5th and last one. I also read Jim Butcher's Out Law, a Harry Dresden novella, which added a single adventure with a different kind of magic monster Harry had to confront in order to, as usual, save someone.

Right now I'm ensconced in Theo of Golden by Allen Levi, a very different book than those I've read lately, and one that has completely captivated me. A stranger named Theo arrives in the southern city of Golden one spring day. As he explores the city, he visits a coffee house decorated with 92 pencil portraits of people who have been customers there. He decides to buy them, one at a time, and give them to the person pictured. Each exchange yields a story, a friendship, and a life altered.
