The Micro Era is a short sci-fi story from the anthology The Wandering Earth by Cixin Liu. I loved this story.
What does the humanity do when threatened by a solar flare that completely destroys the earth's crust and its atmosphere? Of course it just clones a miniature human race who can survive the apocalypse by burrowing deep underground!
Well, I definitely love the author's imaginations, as well as the tender poetic feelings permeating his stories. There is so much depth in his writing. This is a must-read recommendation from me for the die-hard sci-fi fans out there!

Hey Neil, due to a certain British author saying some stupid things again... Could you please quickly say something supportive for trans people? Would be really comforting right now
I’ve missed this (I’ve been taking a Twitter holiday for the last month, for my own mental health), but I can imagine. I’m sorry. 
Trans women are women. Trans men are men.  Trans rights are human rights. I’m sorry that some people have such a hard time getting their heads around that. But the world is changing, and history is with you.

🔰🔰 Book Review 🔰🔰 Title: Urmila Author: Pervin Saket Genre: Mythological retelling / Feminist fiction / Literary fiction Format: Kindle Ebook Publisher: Jaico My Rating: ✳️✳️✳️✳️✴️ I found this as a free Kindle book and read some good reviews on Goodreads. It was a slow start, but kept me riveted as it progressed. It is a (re)telling of the never-mentioned agonies of Urmila, Lakshman’s forgotten and forsaken wife from the Ramayana. The author casts the character of Urmila, the protagonist, on the basic frame of Urmila’s desertion by her husband for his brother. Pervin Saket portrays the agony so well, that after a point it blurred even my reality. And Urmila did get her life back on her terms, which makes this story even more beautiful. It is a beautiful, poetic book. If you haven’t read it, I would suggest you take this up. • • • #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookrecs #bookrecommendation #book #booksofinstagram #bookish #urmila #pervinsaket #bookreview #review #reviewer #reviewbook #bookworm #booklover #books #booknerd #booklove #bookaholic #bookaddict #bookheaven (at Kolkata) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRi7wGkLHtB/?utm_medium=tumblr

"We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature."
~ Henry David Thoreau (Walden: Or, Life in the Woods)

🔰🔰 Book Review 🔰🔰
Title: A Caribbean Mystery
Author: Agatha Christie
Genre: Mystery / Detective / Whodunit
My Rating: ✳️✳️✳️✳️
I read this story after about two decades, and thankfully the ending escaped my memory. So it was a reread in the true sense of the term.
Miss Marple is enjoying a quiet holiday in the sun in the Caribbean., when one of her fellow travelers, full of boisterous stories, dies. Miss Marple is vaguely uncomfortable that his death was brought about by one of his stories, one of a murderer, whose photo he boasted he carried in his wallet. The photo goes missing, and Miss Marple is worried another murder is soon to take place. Her premonitions are proved right, and she fights against time to catch the murderer before an innocent life is lost.
This story, unlike many of Agatha Christie's stories made clear who the murderer was after a point. However, the murderer has been portrayed in such a sympathetic light, that the reader seriously doubts their own intuitions. The story is an entertaining whodunit. It portrays the characters well, looks into the nuances of human nature, which is a characteristic of Agatha Christie's writings.
I was very interested to find the mention of queers in this story as well - albeit in passing. My 20-year-younger self had not noticed the fact, being unaware of queers, especially in our country, as a kid. It is not clear what the author's stand was on the subject. It is, however, refreshing that she accepts queers in society as a fact.
Overall, this is a trademark Agatha Christie whodunit. You will definitely enjoy it as a lighthearted read. I, being an ardent fan of the author, absolutely loved it.
QOTD: What's your favorite whodunit series/standalone?

Here are the tulips,
budded and full-blown,
their swoops and dips, their gloss and poses,
the satin of their darks.

The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering.
Tinuviel was dancing there
To music of a pipe unseen,
And light of stars was in her hair,
And in her raiment glimmering.
~ J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings)
