erin wants to read Bellwether by Connie Willis
Found this one at Borderlands Books in San Francisco, CA. A staff recommendation tag caught my eye, specifically because the staff member in question had chosen a sacred chao as their image. I read their little recommendation blurb, then I read the back of the book, and it sounds weird and chaotic and interesting.
I'm unfamiliar with the author so I am otherwise going in blind on this one, I hope it turns out to be a good one.
