The Warm Machine by Aimee Cozza

When a robot built for construction work first sees an angular, sleek prototype military robot slink onto the base he's working outside of, he immediately falls in love. The problem is, only anomalous bots understand the concept of love, and the lowly laborbot has not deviated from his default programming once. So he thinks, anyway. When the laborbot is scheduled for decommission, the military bot cannot possibly live without him, and the two bots set out on a path to find the fabled anomalous robot utopia Root. COVER ARTIST: Aimee Cozza PUBLISHER: 9mm Press YEAR: 2024 LENGTH: 196 pages  AGE: Adult GENRE: Science Fiction RECOMMENDED: Highly Queer Rep Summary: The main characters are robots, likely closest to aro/ace but those terms aren't quite applicable. Gender is also not an important factor. THE WARM MACHINE plays with ideas of friendship, connection, and searching for utopia, all through the lens of a construction robot who falls in love at first sight with a military bot....

Clear Your Shit: Elves! (Forgotten Book)

I wake up the next morning to the sounds a scuffling around me. Elves! There are elves rummaging through our things! This trip just keeps getting better and better. Heather and I both jump up ready to take on these elves. I've had enough of people stealing my things.

...wait. What were we doing? It's so early! I should be asleep still. I must have had a fitful sleep though because the campsite is a mess! We get right to tidying up. I pick up a book that somehow feels familiar? The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros is clearly among my things, but I'm not sure where it's from. I flip it open to investigate and find myself immediately drawn into the story. I settle against a tree to continue reading. Heather won't mind finishing the clean up right? I glance up and see her mirroring my own position against another tree with her own open book in her lap, clearly enthralled. I smile and continue reading.
