Can’t Wait Wednesday (4/5/23)
Happy official Spring y’all! Or, at least it is here hahaha. I’ve been waiting for ages for the weather to get nice enough to throw open the windows all day, and we’re finally there. While the rain might come back at some point to throw off my plans, so far I’m very much enjoying the nice weather. If it stays consistent, it’ll be planting season soon too. I can’t wait!
My book choice this week is one that I’ve been eyeing ever since I saw that T.J. Klune had a new book out soon! I LOVE KLUNE’S WRITING. Yes, it was necessary to write that in all caps. Every book I’ve read of his has made me so happy. The beauty that these stories hold, the characters they make me fall in love with. Ack. I can’t wait to do it all over again. This book needs to come out STAT.
In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots–fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They’re a family, hidden and safe.
The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labelled “HAP,” he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio-a past spent hunting humans.
When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio’s former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic’s assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming.
Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: Can he accept love with strings attached?
Author TJ Klune invites you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.
This stellar read (that I’m sure is going to make us all cry) releases on April 25, 2023 and I need that date to hustle its way here.
What are you waiting on?
