By default I found that I’m pretty niche on sci-fi.

Now, I actively do Calendar/Event reading, so often picking up things for eg, Australia Day, Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, International Women’s Day, World Dracula Day, Black History Month, Pride Week/Month, Naidoc Week, Children’s Book Day, Spooky Reads October, Christmas…

That said, I still intersect those with something I want to read…

I actually never realised that promotional quotes are also called blurbs, in addition to the book summary / outline.

The novel 253 by Geoff Ryman is about a train with 253 people on it with a section on each consisting of 253 words. Initially published online, hyperlinked, later published in print; the author remarked that the two formats give the novel different meaning, one emphasising the connectedness, one emphasising the differences.
