And “Noor” by Nnedi Okorafor in which AO, a woman with some cybernetic implants resultant from a horrible accident as a child, goes on the run from authorities after a fight in which she defends herself from an attack by bigoted men who despise her for those “unnatural” implants.
As she flees into the Nigerian desert, she meets a nomadic cattleman, who is also in the run from the state for merely existing.

Geez, I realized I hadn’t posted several recent books. There were a couple Nigerian science fiction books:
“Rosewater” by Tade Thompson. A mysterious alien biodome heals people when it opens up once a year, but Kaaro, who has some special abilities, begins to uncover some secrets that point to a more sinister purpose.
Loved the first half, but thought it fell off in the second half.

Finished the short story, “The Answer is No” by Fredrik Backman, the story of a man without any attachments who just wants to be left alone to eat pad thai & play video games. The neighbors in his apartment keep intruding upon his privacy in ludicrously farcical ways.
Great writer & some great moments, but the whole thing felt like a collection of tropes. Had there been a laugh track on the audiobook, I’d not have been surprised.

Finished “My Friends” by Fredrik Backman and adored it. It’s not a perfect book, as there are a few moments that seem a little too saccharine, but where it excels, it REALLY excels.
The story of a painting, the friends depicted within it, and their friendship that made it all possible. A love letter to art and friendship, contrasted with the neglect, abuse, and mourning they would need each other to overcome.
4.5 rounded up to 5/5 stars
