  1. I wouldn't have called it before season 2, but I want Tony Gilroy to adapt .

  2. I have finished reading A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine.

    This is a fantastic book. I'm not typically a big fan of politics and diplomacy in stories, but wrapping the whole thing in a murder mystery I think really helped with the onboarding. The most fascinating facet has to be the cultural.

    Strong recommendation.

  3. I think if this book had been described to me as being largely diplomacy and politics, I might have passed on it. And it does feature a lot of that, but by wrapping it in a murder mystery it becomes more interesting to me.

    Feels like Arkady Martine is good at tipping their hand to the reader just before the protagonist makes some new connection. So you're never entirely confused by that new connection, nor frustrated with it taking too long.

  4. I #AmReading A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine, the February read in the #BrownAjahsBookClub
    -----
    Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining Station, has died. But no one will admit that his death wasn't an accident--or that Mahit might be next to die...

  5. Resale shop find. 90 cents. Looks like it won a Hugo a few years ago. Never heard of it.

  6. CW: Book review/spoilers for Memory Empire and Peace Desolation

    I wasn't actually that impressed? Maybe because I read it first, but Ancillary Justice has so so many similarities and just blows these books out of the water in terms of like pacing and imo interesting investigations and ramifications of empire and distributed consciousness.

  8. There was definitely some inspiration for this poem taken from the #AMemoryCalledEmpire series!

  9. Learning to use hashtags! So here we go, #introduction: 2 fast 2 furious

    I'm an #editor working in #kidlit (so #yalit #mg, etc) 🌱 I tend to read #SFF or #romancebooks and I especially loved #NonatheNinth #Murderbot #AMemoryCalledEmpire and #BlackWaterSister.

    Also I just started watching #Andor 😱 and I'm on a mission to make everyone watch #AbbotElementary because #Philly. Anyway, here's my perfect cat niece Clara.

  10. Here's my Ryker. Her design is VERY vaguely based off of Mahit Dzmare from the book #AMemoryCalledEmpire Mainly the name and what I imagined of her skintone. Didn't have the hair I thought though. Why do so few games have long hair? It's the spacefuture, they should have figured out how to shove it in a helmet by now.

  11. Twelve Azalea is a joy in small doses; I would hate this book if he were the protagonist #aMemoryCalledEmpire
