Even before the doomed mission to Hadley’s Hope on LV-426, Jenette Vasquez had to fight to survive. Born to an immigrant family with a long military tradition, she looked up to the stars, but life pulled her back down to Earth—first into a street gang, then prison. The Colonial Marines proved to be Vasquez’s way out—a way that forced her to give up her twin children. Raised by Jenette’s sister, those children, Leticia and Ramon, had to discover their own ways to survive.

Decent but not my favourite
Revisado: 02-26-23
Was excited about this one but it didn't bring the same tension and resolution roller coaster as others in the series. While I liked the narrator and would listen to her read another book the overall lack of dynamic in the tone left the plot feeling very mellow and reflective. I liked the back story on Vasquez, examination of how she wound up where she did and how that legacy plays out, and connection with her family but overall the story didn't have the drive as other books. Maybe I like more dread and tension? Would love to see a followup that covers Leticia and her team, preferably by the same author.

Ataegina was an isolated world of medieval castles, varied cultures, and conquests, vibrant until the demons rose and spread relentless destruction. Swarms of lethal creatures with black husks, murderous claws, barbed tails, and dreaded “tooth-tongues” raged through the lowlands, killing 90 percent of the planet’s population. Terrified survivors fled to hidden mountain keeps where they eke out a meager existence. When a trio of young warriors discovers a new weapon, they see a chance to end this curse. To save humanity, they must fight.

Surprised that this is easily my favourite of the Alien novels! Am a fan of the films, love SciFi, and have enjoyed many of the other novels but this one had a fantastic new take on how an Alien novel can be I absolutely loved it. Dare I hope it be made into a film 😲

Anti-fatness is everywhere. In What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat, Aubrey Gordon unearths the cultural attitudes and social systems that have led to people being denied basic needs because they are fat and calls for social justice movements to be inclusive of plus-sized people’s experiences.

Well written, needed, and relatable.
Revisado: 03-21-21
An absolute triumph of writing, this book describes so well the many facets of navigating of fat life in an approachable and honest way. Should be required reading for all physicians and health care providers. Cried a few times. Cheered a few times. Very relatable. Am a fan of Aubry's podcast work (Maintenance Phase, a must listen!) and while I was initially a bit sad she didn't narrate the book herself the narrator did a wonderful job and captured the spirit of Aubry's voice and was a pleasure to listen to. I'll be pestering everyone I know to listen or read this book, and recommend it to my friends in medical school, and to my primary care doctor. Thank you, Aubry!
