I've only read Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and while enjoyed it, I was not compelled to read on. It's cute, kinda vanilla comparative to much of what I enjoy.

Becky Chambers is one of my favorites! I love the monk and Robot duo and Wayferers is great for road trips.

Awesome. Please tell me more! What do u enjoy when u read her?

I just feel like she has a real grasp on what it's like to be human even when writing as a robot or and alien. They are mostly cozy stories about navigating life and self discovery, and I think it really helps process how complicated the world is. Plus the sci-fi solar punk stuff is really cool.

I just feel relaxed and warm reading her work.
