Becky Chambers introduces THE LONG WAY TO A SMALL, ANGRY PLANET - Hodder & Stoughton

[@colettekerr279]

You are *exactly* the sort of dork that I'd hoped you were. I love your books and the worlds you create. I want to live there. I want to make the world we live in more like the ones you write. Keep being you. You're exactly the sort of person this world needs and, I hope, exactly the sort of person you need too

Greetings from Germany. I was lucky to read the book in March 2015 and it is an amazing one. Excellent characters and great story. Can't wait to read more books by Becky Chambers Get a copy and read this absolutely wonderful space opera.

[@jdubbers14]

just decided to start listening to audiobooks and wasn't sure where to start. I love thinking about space and the future of humanity in space, especially alongside species from other worlds that we can interact with. So I searched for quirky, fun stories about space travel and came across your names and books. Just read book one 'The Long Way...' and loved it, I listened to the audiobook, while swimming, cleaning, working out, etc and it's made all those things more enjoyable. Moving to the next book today :) You're an amazing writer, intelligent with an amazing imagination and I see you have many other books out there... planning to check them all out. Thank you many times over Becky! Hope to meet you one day : )

[@disgruntledwookie369]

Thanks so much for writing, Becky. Not many books affected me as much as yours.

[@Puddin-Tamir]

Sincerely the best book ive read in a very long time

[@PedroSilva-vm7zu]

I am from Macapá, Brasil. Your book is very cool, i loved all the characters Waiting for the sequence.

[@BioHazardCL4]

I hope there's more books on Sissix and Rosemary. Or at least the Andrix

[@colinconroy2041]

I loooove all the GC books and I really wish you’d write more but I look forward to reading whatever else you write/have written

[@Radz-kc5ri]

I have always loved space exploration. The real deal and also in fantasy. I love a good space yarn with fascinating characters. Sadly, I haven't really been grabbed by a sci-fi fantasy story in a long time. Until now! Oh, man. What can I say? I LOVE THIS BOOK! This has all the elements I appreciate in a good, engaging story. It makes me smile! I truly can't wait for book 2 (well, I can. I have to.). Becky Chambers, thank you so much for constructing this amazing, thoroughly engaging, fun, well written work. You have made me and many, many others so very happy!

8 years later, people are still hearing about it! Just finished it and going onto the sequel! Definitely top 5 favorite books of all time.

[@blackbananas9420]

Reader from Germany here. Loved your book. Great characters, and even though it makes no difference it’s my first space opera from a female author. (Checked them all). Great stuff thx for existing.

[@arctic_haze]

I am 20% into the book but I already love it. So I am not surprised that the author is such a relatable person.

[@disgruntledwookie369]

A closed and common orbit is one of the best books I've ever read

[@Guruthosa]

I loved the book so much that I ordered the sequel on the first day. I'm halfway through and liking it so far. Although I miss having more main characters. My favorite part is learning about the different species in as much detail as possible. I've never really read anything like that and it tickles my interest for anthropology and sociology. So if you write another one: More of that please!!!

[@awedxz123456789]

Guruthosa, same here. I Just finished and I’m ordering next. Fabulous!

[@Mark73]

I plowed through all four books in three weeks, which is the most engrossed in books I've been in years.

[@abigalemeyer7386]

I want this book in a hardcover so badly :'( I absolutely love it, so much

[@tendency2323]

your books and cannabis saved my life. especially "a close and common orbit".

[@annettabanks7351]

I just finished reading this, I loved it! It took me about five days 😊. I got it from my son's school along with Space Born Few now I need the 2nd one from the series I love science fiction 💐🙏🏽

[@ghost2031]

Just finished it and loved it. Very nice book. The Characters were very vivid and lovely.

[@Kelfsword16]

One of my all time favorite books!

[@awedxz123456789]

Thank you for a great book! 🖖🏼

[@jessekamata3811]

Finished reading the book last month, and am still thinking about it. October 2016 can't come fast enough!

[@rogerkelley7924]

Texas Reader, Y'all come to Texas, and see it for yourself. I read "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" several years ago, around 2013, in a time I was basically broke. I remember that I liked the book, so about 2 weeks ago now that money is not so tight. I saw it in Kindle, and bought it again, and started reading the book expecting to remember some of the story line, and events being told, but by time I finished the 1st chapter, I knew I had no idea I had read this book before. Well now that I have read all 4 books, I can tell you that I really liked the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th books. The ideas reminded me of the few good parts of my University classes of Philosophy, and not the boring, or stupid parts. Yep, if you are looking to decide if you would like to read Becky Chambers books, I would strongly recommend you read all of them.

[@AnquelZtal]

The book is amazing!

[@LycaWatyre]

I just got this book and am already halfway through. I can't put it down! Would love to see more. :D

[@iospark926]

I couldn't choose a favourite book for 15 years then I read this one. The Long Way is my undisputed favourite book of all time, and the only one that could rival it is the sequel.

[@HodderBooks57]

That's what we love to hear! And the third book in the series, Record of a Spaceborn Few, arrives this July!

[@D1it4FN]

It's an awesome book. I just finished A Closed and Common Orbit and was blown away by it. No spoilers here... you have to read it.

[@sturkfeld]

please get to work and write more great stories. jut finished a closed and common orbit. can't wait to see what's next. my wfe and i both enjoyed your first 2 books immensly. thanks for adding your characters to our life.

[@HodderBooks57]

Becky's new book Record of A Spaceborn Few is out July 2018. The countdown starts now!

[@deanc2000]

I just finished it. Great book. Please write more books. Thanks.

[@NuxyrYT]

30 seconds in and I'm convinced that I have to read her books

[@Langkowski]

I heard that the definition of an atmosphere is that the density of molecules and atoms are high enough for them to bump into each other.

[@Moilly2]

Read the second book first and then bought this one afterwards. Loved both of them. Why do I suspect there's a bit (or a lot) of Kizzy in you. :-)

[@marianomelendez666]

Lol definitely.

[@Vahisofficial]

Never stop doing Wayfarer related books. Never.

Star voyagers Spread the word, gather the crew Check the engines and fuel too We're leaving in five minutes, not less We're leaving this planet, escaping this mess Where to, captain?, the crewman asks me Where the mission will send us, how hard can it be? We're travelling far, cruising the space With joy in our heart, smile on the face But what do you do? , one might ask What is your mission? , what is your task? Explaining this clearly won't be that easy Not now Jenks, please, in fact I'm quite busy The universe is undoubtedly a really big place We're making it smaller, we're leaving no trace So when you have a long journey to do We'll make you a shortcut, we're drilling there through The job is still dangerous, not going to lie Some people don't like us, the risk is quite high We lost a friend recently though she didn't get killed She can't be with us, the void can't be filled We don't give up, we're still going strong We're up for the mission, no matter how long You need a passage, a safe way back We got you covered, we'll set you on track Long story short, our job is a big deal What is it, Jenks, are you for real? Yes, it's me captain, please don't be so cruel I'm here to inform you, we're quite out of fuel

[@bettinahohler4117]

Now wonder your book is soooo remarkable, because that's just you.

[@paweprz8158]

Very optimistic. WOW! feminine version of Douglas Adams.I must draw the comic book based on this book.
