@s_mailler@bw.heraut.eu L'ordre n'est pas important -- Contact est un roman qui suit le personnage d'Ellie Arroway tandis que Cosmos est un ouvrage qui vulgarise la science et l'astronomie!

The Laurel Lekfow narration is so well done. I wonder what other audiobooks she has narrated, because honestly I'm not having much trouble with her narration at all!

I think the reason so many young millennials and gen x'ers went feral over this book is because Ellie Arroway's childhood as a girl interested in tech and math but also kind of uninterested in school is so intensely relatable.

Listening to the audiobook while I emerge from migraine-brain land, narrated by Laurel Lekfow (what a gorgeous voice, she's great). I don't usually handle audiobooks super well, but I've read Contact before so I'm hoping that will help compensate with my slight audio processing issues!

@blueberryjams@mastodon.social It's a very neat little book. It exceeded my expectations because I'm not super into "slice of life" as a genre. There are little bits of the book here and there that I would have liked to see a little more fleshed out but that's on me, I always want my romances (even if they're side plots) to be very romantic, but I guess that was not the priority! Which is ok!

Started reading this immediately after I closed Bookshops and Bonedust and I did like this better. The « Coffee Shop AU » vibe did not put me off (former barista, I don't find coffee shops cozy, it's a me problem, not a fanfic problem) and I liked all the characters though there was a bit of googling to figure out the contours of this fantasy world. Orcs are unmistakable, but I had no idea what a rattkin or a hob is, for example. I still don't know what the character Calamity is supposed to look like. But it didn't much matter, because I had a blast reading this, and would definitely read it again.
