In A Psalm for the Wild-Built, bestselling Becky Chambers's delightful new Monk and Robot series, gives us hope for the future.It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend.
One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered.
But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.
They're going to need to ask it a lot.
Becky Chambers's new series asks: in a world where people have what they want, does having more matter?

Why did I add A Psalm for the Wild-Built to my bookshelf?
After reading some glowing reviews for this book, I decided to pick up a copy of the audio when I caught it at a great price. This book is very highly rated and shouldn’t take me too long to read, so I have no idea why I haven’t picked it up yet. I think that I will need to give it a try soon.
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. My eyes are really bothering me again, so I am trying not to stare at a computer more than I absolutely have to.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
That’s a new to me one! I hope you enjoy it as well once you get to read it! I usually feel more confident when a lot of trusted reviewers like a book I’m interested in, so hopefully this bodes well for you too! 🙂
Hope you’re eyes feel better too. I remember you mentioning this a few months back. Would’ve hoped with narrowing it down to one job with a computer screen would’ve helped you. Fingers crossed its extremely temporary! <3
I loved this one! Enjoy!
I read this and it wasn’t really for me. But you might like it.
I hope your eyes feel better soon. I haven’t read this one.
How did I miss this one when it came out? It sounds delightful. And I’m so sorry your eyes are bothering you again. That’s frustrating. Wishing you a relaxing and restful weekend.
I have never read this book, but people love this author. I hope it a good one for you.
This does sound good and I have so many books that I haven’t read despite glowing reviews. One day we’ll be all caught up – right?
