I'm running the Book Barn Secret Santa this year and completely forgot to post about it here until today, the last day to sign up. If anyone's interested in getting cool sci-fi books from fellow goons this Christmas, there's still time to get in before I start making matches.

Tehanu was really something, the first three books all had their strengths (Tombs of Atuan finishing without a confrontation with a human villain was really striking) but the time and distance it had to reflect and comment on them just made it really unique.

yah Tehanu is probably my fav of the bunch because of that

It was really good, definitely the one I'll remember.

Finished Bone Clocks now and I'm on to Analog/Virtual, a set of sci-fi shorts by an Indian writer, Lavanya Lakshminarayan, that my book-aware friend recommended me.

New thread title. What does it mean? Even I don't know what it means! But it's the truth. If you're the best and brightest the 'Fi can offer I want you to make it loud and proud. This is not the time for humility! Serve this forum by telling me exactly what makes you great!

Intel suggests that we'll be arriving at a distress beacon. Hypersleep time is expected to be at least one season, possibly pushing toward one and a half depending on where in the orbital cycle the planet is once we've arrived.
