Today the SibNerds are talking about Part 4!
The whimsy continues as Tress learns more about Huck and the different kinds of spores on her planet. We have a feeling that Hoid holds some very important information… if only he wasn’t cursed to be nonsensical.
Next time we’ll be discussing Chapters 35-43!
Happy Reading!

Today the SibNerds are talking about Part 3!
Tress is getting to know the crew in this part of our story, and therefore, so are we! Hoid is such a strange little man… but we’re enjoying his oddities so much! Anna will forgive the secret zombies since Josef clarified that the doctor isn’t *technically* a zombie.
Oh, the whimsy is so much fun!
Next time we’ll be discussing Part 4!

Today the SibNerds are talking about the last section of The Broken Earth saga!
What a ride. We still have questions, but that’s okay. Jemisin concluded this story in such a profound and significant way that we will tell folks they need to read this for years to go.
We both gave this one a 5/5 stars!

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 12 & Syl Anagist: Zero.
We’ve. Learned. So. Much.
Now we know how the stone eaters and guardians were created. We know what happened when Hoa and the other tuners were told to turn the Plutonic Engine on. We know how Father Earth responded to the puny humans stealing some of his core.
And still, we saw how the more pacifist stone eaters are living at Core Point. There were some really sweet moments amidst all the revelations.
Next time we’ll be finishing the dang book!

Inspired by recent book bans and challenges, Anna shares what she’s learned about diversity in library collections from her classes. The SibNerds are revisiting their previous discussion around book bans and reevaluating the framing they put on that conversation. A large portion of this conversation talks about the importance of challenging the centering of whiteness and the default being white. We know that this can be an uncomfortable conversation, but we believe that it is critical in our own growth. We hope that this will help others process or begin their growth and understanding of folks who may be different.

Today the SibNerds are talking about Chapters 10-11 (and that Syl Anagist chapter in the middle)!
This section ended with both Essun and Nassun moving forward on new-found resolute paths—if they had any doubts, they don’t anymore.
We learned about how Stone Eaters are made (sort of) and what happened to the early Stone Eaters. Creep factors were high.
Next time we’ll be discussing Chapters 12 and Syl Anagist: Zero!
