Let’s dive into Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky next Sunday afternoon! It’s one of the most fascinating, cerebral sci-fi novels of the last decade. I can’t wait to discuss uplifted spiders, forgotten gods, and the survival of civilization(s) with you. 🕸️🧠
To set the mood, I’ve created a themed cocktail and mocktail for y'all to enjoy during our gathering. Recipes below! 🍸✨

🍸 Themed Cocktail: Thread of Time
A subtle, citrusy drink with just a touch of complexity—like a sentient, evolutionary leap in a glass.
Ingredients:
2 oz Gin (or Vodka for a smoother base)
¾ oz Lime Juice
½ oz Honey Syrup (1:1 honey + warm water — I used hot honey for a kick)
½ oz Apple Juice
A few dashes of bitters
Optional: Lime peel twist
Instructions:
Shake all ingredients with ice.
Strain into a chilled coupe or over ice.
Garnish if you’re feeling fancy.
🥂 Themed Mocktail: Uplifted
A non-alcoholic version that still captures the vibe—bright, thoughtful, and slightly sweet.
Ingredients:
2 oz Apple Juice
¾ oz Lime Juice
½ oz Honey Syrup
Sparkling Water to top
Optional: Mint or basil for depth
Instructions:
Shake juice and honey syrup with ice.
Strain over ice, top with sparkling water, and add herbs if desired.
Let me know if you try the drinks—and see you all on June 1st! 💬📖🧪

Thanks for the link to the Kindle deal on the Cradle eBooks!! Now I have no excuses to not read these. To anyone else confused by the link, you have to switch the dropdown that says "All 12 books" and change it to "First 5 books" from a dropdown to get the $0 price, and then after "buying" those you get an option to grab Book 6 for $0 as well.

A TON of stuff with this book! First one in a long time I had to take some notes to keep tabs on the allegories and themes as the story progressed. On my second listen-thru things opened up in different ways. Definitely a very cerebral read!
