Adina says of her first encounter with a penis: "It seems sentient, definitely malevolent." I laughed so hard. Loving this totally refreshing book, #beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino. #readingcommunity #writingcommunity #scifi #specfict

“Every human dies. But the bad news is that every day they act like they don’t know they’re alive. They lie or behave inconsiderately or cheat. Each one is a little death. Humans experience many little deaths before the final one.” #Beautyland #currentlyreading #bookquotes #booksky 💙📚

I don’t know what to expect from #Beautyland, which is about an alien, but look at all this praise! Big thanks to @vintagebooks.bsky.social for the proof. Out this month.

Human beings, Adina faxes, did not think their lives were chal- lenging enough so they invented roller coasters. A roller coaster is a series of problems on a steel track. Upon encountering real problems, human beings compare their lives to riding a roller coaster, even though they invented roller coasters to be fun things to do on their days off
Human problems 🎢

Just listened to #Beautyland (Bertino). Maybe I'm too old to understand the hype. The plot is Heaven's Gate cult member meets #Strangeplanet (Wade). It's not original or interesting. Yep, people are weird, hypocritical, and crave connection. 9 hours of joyless observations on the human condition 📚💙

Humans who insist opportunity is not a pie usually enjoyed the majority of slices.

💙📚 Absolutely loved #Beautyland I spent a lot of my childhood feeling alien. I think a lot of us will identify with the story.
Also my first use of emoji combos to be in the secret cool reading club.
