»  if you had an opportunity to go explore space, would you go? hello friends, As much as space scares me, I don’t know if I would pass the opportunity up. It would be quiet the adventure. Even if I cried the entire time. ♡ these are some of my fave science fiction books. Project Hail Mary is by far my favorite solo sci-fi read of all time. » hashtags:. #sciencefiction #scifi #sciencefictionbooks #redrising #firstsister #projecthailmary #skyward #dune #piercebrown #brandonsanderson #andyweir #lindenalewis #frankherbert #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #Space #spacebooks #mustread #bookreview #bookreader #bookrecommendations (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoInDH-yuj2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm a little bit late but HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY to this gorgeous thing 😍🤩 . The First Sister is Linden A. Lewis' debut novel and is described as combining the social commentary of The Handmaid's Tale with the white-knuckled thrills of Red Rising. (If you know me, you know that is an instant buy). . If you've picked this up, or are thinking about picking it up let me know in the comments 😅 I can't wait to start reading. . . . . #thefirstsister #thefirstsistertrilogy @lindenalewis #lindenalewis #debutnovel #ausbookstagram #booksofinstagram #readbyamity #bookhaul #ausbookishfeatures (at Wollongong, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD-y2HOg-nw/?igshid=t0klt1ktguzh

How can I make you go read a book? This is a question I am constantly asking myself, because some books are so good you just HAVE to share. The First Sister by @lindenalewis is one of those books, I want to stalk people in the bookstore and drop it into their carts, or just jump up and down and scream, “HEY! IM NOT A WEIRDO YOU JUST NEED TO READ THIS!” *spoiler alert, I am a weirdo* This space opera features multiple POVs, all kinds of representation, and has a very Handmaid’s Tale in space feel. I’m so in love, I’ve already preordered the sequel. And BONUS! It’s on sale today in the Amazon B2G1 50% off sale (check my stories for the link.) If you read it, and I desperately want you to, please come back and talk to me about it!!! #tattooedbibliophile #ilovebooks #booknerd #bookworm #bookaholic #bookmail #bookish #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #books #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookstagrammer #bookaholic #booklove #bookphotography #igreads #reader #bookblogger #instabooks #readersofinstagram #bookobsessed #bookdragon #tbr #rainbowbooks #thefirstsister #lgbtqiabooks #pridemonthbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CQbZYImrEtb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Currently reading this book and loving it so far! @lindenalewis I didn't know I was so desperate for a great queer space opera but apparently I did since I read 200 pages in 3 days! Congratulations!

The first sister, from the book of the same name by Linden A. Lewis.

"there already are enough resources. the problem is that those on the top refuse to share with those on the bottom."

---

"lily skirts the table and rushes straight toward me. i embrace her as she reaches me, and she clings to me with surprising strength. her sweet scent of vanilla calms the racing of my heart."

---

"it started when i was just a kid. the person in the mirror became my enemy. my reflection never matched how i felt inside, and even after i'd changed myself, when i wore the clothes and the makeup i wanted, that feeling lingered, a shadow over every day."

hero :(((

(also: this is what it looks like when a gender-non-conforming author writes a gender-non-conforming character!!! it feels raw and autentich)

---

"your worth isn’t determined by him, because a child’s worth isn’t measured by meeting their parents’ expectations."

---

"i fling my arms around his neck. i press my face into his shoulder. the tears rise up, and i don’t fight them. i weep into him, and he holds me back, lips pressed to my hair. i don’t ever want to let go. this is home. he is home.

---

that scene when the gang is trying to convince the synthetics to give humanity one more chance by sharing their memories... I'M SOBBING 😭

"and perhaps time does not heal all wounds / but it helps new things grow on top of the old."

---

"being human means making mistakes—but it also means learning from them. it means fixing them. because being human is having the potential to grow. to change, so you don’t make those same mistakes again."

---

"i reach out for lito. he is iron, and i am a magnet; i will always be pulled toward him."

"you are my first love, and you are my last love. without you, i wouldn’t be me." "and without you, i would have lost myself long ago."

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP!!!

---

i'm absolutely thriving at seeing how lily and astrid helped to start a reform of the sisterhood

...and also!!! "we are . . . friends. and perhaps one day, we may find our way back to being more—this time as overselves, no masks between us."

can i get a poly relationship between astrid, lily and hero? as a little threat?

---

"in between kisses, she whispers to me. i love you, i love you, i love you. in her arms, in this place surrounded by my sisters, i am home."

astrid finally getting the peace she deserves!!! this is what i like to see!!!

---

castor asking luce to basically help him be a good leader!!! my babies 😭💖

---

LITO IS ALIVE ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!! let’s celebrate!!!!!!!!
