Seriously, you like what you like and that's cool. My mother and I have learned not to give each other recommendations, because I can't stand what she loves and vice versa. But otherwise, you're dead to me and off my Christmas card list, you heathen. :) I have a rule regarding lists of Best...

I had no desire to linger in 2020. :)

There are 9 books in the series (#9 is due out) and the last two books work with the #7 book as a trilogy moreso than the previous books. I wasn't sure they'd touch it at all, but they're definitely planting the seeds. Season 5 is still on track with the series but season 6 is going to have to...

Emr, The Broken Domain Emr is a land of rubble and ruin, of shattered cities and tumbled walls. Scrape the ground anywhere in Emr and you’ll uncover a road, or patio, or foundation. Carvings and writings are worn to indecipherability; paintings and murals little more than scaps of color hinting...

I find myself constrained by potential spoilers. And intrigued by where the series has focused attention this season.

MURDERBOT!! :)

I haven't found my copy yet. Sad face. But that's a great review to hear!

Really? I wasn't too thrilled with the book version but it's making a lot more sense to me in the context of the show. He's a classic manipulator/con-man/sociopath. He has no empathy; everyone is a tool to be used; he's charming and manipulative and HAS to be seen and admired and make it look...

I'm here for it every Wednesday.

Oh, I think I have that! I'll see if I can find it & read it! :)

I wrote a reply, but it didn't post or something? Anyways, I love the Riddlemaster of Hed and NK Jemisin. The sequels to Bridge of Birds are, basically, forgettable. It was lightning in a bottle, I guess. Barry Hughart apparently had an appalling time with his publishers (and hated that he was...

Finished Agatha H and the Voice of the Castle, by Phil and Kaja Foglio. I'm going to go ahead and say 5/5, because it's a really good/fun read and compelling enough that I'm going to search out the one I (think) I have and get whatever I'm missing. PROBABLY the most Pratchett-like voice I've...

I've got...a considerable number of books around. And my gf has friends who a) run an independent bookstore (hybrid of new & used books), and b) might be downsizing. I'm not looking to buy them out or take over their business directly (they're in north-central PA; I'm in New Hampshire and OMG we...

I want to say, I love the wide variety of books and reading people here engage in. I pay attention to what people read and enjoy (or not), and look for those books, even if they're outside my normal habits.

That sounds like a pretty excellent mixture. I used to have dreams of being a Well-Rounded Reader and reading all kinds of Posh Lit'rit'chur, but genre fiction is way too much fun for me to do more than occasionally dabble elsewhere. :) (A really good friend did get me a collection of Donald...

I happened to be at the Book Warehouse yesterday. I don't exactly need more books, but I had to pick up my daughter in the outlet mall.... Turned out to be a major score. Karen Memory, by Elizabeth Bear, which was on my Amazon shortlist. Assassin's Fate, by Robin Hobb, which was on my Amazon...

Dude. Bridge of Birds. Number Ten Ox. Master Li has a slight flaw in his character. Also, I'm currently reading Karen Memory, also by Elizabeth Bear. (I think I've been confusing her with Elizabeth Moon.) She is really good, and I am absolutely going to search out more of her books. Murderbot...

I felt basically the same way about Sandman Slim. It's fine, but honestly Mike Carey's series is a lot better. Murderbot IS THE BEST!!!!
