And her verdict?

"I loved how the real world meshed with the folk tale"

I notice that she must have spent some of her before school time this morning finishing Ken Liu's story "The Seventh Day of the Seventh Moon" because she was in the middle of it last night before bed.

I cannot express the joy of my kid choosing to read over device time in the morning <3

Reporting back in on my 11 year old reading Kaleidoscope for the first time.

She absolutely adored Cookie Cutter Superhero by @tansyrr.bsky.social . She came in, hands clasped and announced, "It was Soooooo Goooood."

ICYMI: new book! Some other things I like about this one:
- revolutionaries
- tired parents
- minor heist/con vibes
(& also I still love the space dragons & am lowkey considering returning to them in a future book)

It's quite a moment to see her reading a book that Julia Rios and I made for exactly kids like her. And to think that the Kickstarter for this project finished the day I gave birth to this kid.

Life is a wild ride.

Book cover of Kaleidoscope: Diverse YA Science fiction and Fantasy Stories. Stories by Garth Nix, Sofia Samatar, Sean Williams, William Alexander, Karen Healey, Tansy Rayner Roberts, E. C. Myers, Vylar Kaftan and more

Today was the day I handed my 11 year old kid a copy of Kaleidoscope and said, "I think this is what you are looking for."

She currently has her nose buried in it. Do you KNOW what a win this is to overcome the lure of the DEVICE????

I am pretty pleased though that these school holidays, my eldest (who is 11), has discovered Orphan Black. We're slowly watching the eps together. I am thoroughly enjoying the rewatch. Though I'm not sure if this is the best parenting choice? The violence is fine but we have to fwd the sexytimes...

I feel like I am 100 years old - I was unable to post to this account because I couldn't remember where I put the password I used to set up this account.

*cough*

And how long did it take me to fix this? Less than 30 secs you say? Uhuh.

Just how responsible is it to drag a young child, and her partner Meri (oh yeah, a dragon, by the way), back into her old life?

Come aboard the cargo ship Stardancer and join the Resistance!
