Out of the Blue || Jason June || 375 pages Top 3 Genres: Fantasy / Romance / LGBTQIA+

Synopsis: Crest is not excited to be on their Journey: the month long sojourn on land all teen merfolk must undergo. The rules are simple: Help a human within one moon cycle and return to Pacifica to become an Elder--or fail and remain stuck on land forever. Crest is eager to get their Journey over and done with: after all, humans are disgusting. They've polluted the planet so much that there's a floating island of trash that's literally the size of a country.

In Los Angeles with a human body and a new name, Crest meets Sean, a human lifeguard whose boyfriend has recently dumped him. Crest agrees to help Sean make his ex jealous and win him back. But as the two spend more time together and Crest's perspective on humans begins to change, they'll soon be torn between two worlds. And fake dating just might lead to real feelings...

Fucks per page in The Murderbot Diaries, with the correct numbers this time. Looks like in a couple books we could be seeing an average of slightly more than 1 fuck every 3 pages.

Sunrise on the Reaping was like "hey, people have been trying to stop this horror the whole time. There haven't been any hunger games that didn't include some kind of rebellion, either from within or outside the arena. We're trying. We're not giving up, even if it takes longer than our lifetime. Maybe you can't see it, because the narrative is shaped by those in charge who want the horrors to persist. But we're trying. We'll keep trying."

Currently reading: Wandering Wild by Lynette Noni

Noni is an insta-buy author for me, but this isn't her usual YA fantasy so I'm mostly excited and a little bit cautious about starting this book.

It's so over (got stranded on Mars) we're so back (I can grow food here) it's so over (we left a guy on Mars) we're so back (we've established communication) it's so over (the airlock exploded and the crops froze) we're so back (we've cut down the launch window for a resupply) it's so over (the probe exploded) we're so back (the space program in China has been working on their own probe that can launch in the correct window to get him supplies) it's so over (we didn't tell the hermes crew about a separate possible mission) we're so back (the hermes crew committed mutiny and are now on the way to save Watney) it's so over (we have to remove the front of his spacecraft to get him into space) we're so back (we can cover the hole with a tarp) it's so over (the tarp ripped off during launch and the distance between the hermes and the mav is too wide) we're so back (we can use remaining thruster fuel to course correct) it's so over (if we do this we'll be going too fast) we're so back (we can build a bomb and blow up part of the station to slow us down) it's so over (there's still too much distance between the Hermes and Watney) we're so back (he poked a hole in his suit and flew to us like iron man)

Am I alone in the feeling that not every book needs to be a series?

I get it, it’s so fun to continue on with the story and make this giant world with intricate details, but I really just want it to end sometimes.

I love a good interconnected standalone, but not every book needs one !! Just let it be done please.

in light of the new book - it annoys me when people talk about the victors of district 12 and talk about lucy gray (the mockingbird, the entertainer (where the other 3 tried to stop the games she actually kept them going by introducing the entertainment factor in her efforts to survive), rigged reaping) and haymitch (the jabberjay, the flintstriker, forced into the games) and katniss (the girl on fire, the mockingjay, volunteered for love) but leave out PEETA. the boy with the bread, the dandelion in the spring, the one who is genuinely reaped and had the most chance of surviving and actually DID have the odds in his favour and yet still was made to join the games. where lucy gray and haymitch and katniss were the rebellion and the rising up of the districts - peeta is the hope for the after. he is the hope for what it takes to survive. the kindness of humanity, that we do good things purely for the rightness of those acts. dont get me wrong, he is rebellion. he can be a calculating game maker in the face of the odds moreso than haymitch or katniss or lucy gray ever was in their somewhat mostly incidental large acts of rebellion. his acts of rebellion were calculated precisely, again, in view of the future. he pushed the star struck lovers act with katniss in calculation that it would push HER in favour where she could not get it herself. so that she could have sponsors and and audience that loved her and the spotlight so that she could win and survive the games. he helped her in the 74th hunger games purely because it was right and kind and the quasi-formed love for her that he could have had for just about any other district partner he could have had - whether if it was prim or whoever. (where his love was also a crush on the surface, i believe that at the start at least, it was mostly out of goodness that he wouldve had in any odds) - peeta would have been wyatt callow again, sacrificing himself immediately for a 12 year old primrose everdeen in the bloodbath of the arena. because that is just who he is. he is goodness and the hope for a future

so, dont discredit him too fast in your pool of district 12 victors.
