So yes, updating last night did not happen. Baking bread while reading did (and it even turned out!). Today I’m at work until 5, which means the bulk of my reading will have to happen this evening.

I just finished Tin Star last night, and I am feeling very conflicted about the entire reading experience. There were parts of this book that I absolutely loved, and I want to rave about them, and I will. But as far as the characters were concerned, and the relationships/connections they shared, ehh...
The beginning of Tin Star was fascinating. Tula Bane is stranded upon a remote space station by the leader of their colonizing cult, Brother Blue. She survives his brutal attack and abandonment only to find that she’s living in a universe where humans are not thought highly of. Their prejudice runs ...
This is a short book that I read within a day. I warn those that don't like sci-fi... it is VERY sci-fi. I do like those kinds of things so it suited me well.In this book we meet Tula who is going to help colonize other planets. She runs into trouble by questioning Brother Blue who then beats her to...

Tin Star by Cecil Castellucci is the story of a girl stranded on a space station during a time of great unrest in the galaxy. There are a lot of schemes and political intrigue taking place in the universe around Tula, but she spends most of the book isolated on an out of the way space station with n...
We always talk about the woo's of being the black sheep when it comes to books but for once I'm really happy to be the black sheep! Tin Star isn't a book that a lot of people are going to like. The pace was slow and there wasn't much action but to be perfectly honest I really like this book! This is...
"Everywhere has something that'll disappoint you. It's just (about) choosing a disappointment and having it be the most tolerable." That sounds phonetically like nails on a blackboard but I find it quite apt for a book as… unique as Tin Star. This review is brought to you by the word: BORED. ...
