Exit Strategy continued in the tradition of the rest of the Murderbot Diaries series having me laughing in the first few moment. The truth can be funny, especially when stated in such a blunt, factual way. Murderbot is still trying to figure out humans. His own observations and experiences plus the episodes of Sanctuary Moon provide diverse […]
This is the first book in Cara Bristol’s Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series, which is a spinoff from her Alien Mate series. You can read this series without having read the Alien Mate series, but I don’t think this series really covers how life is on Dakon, which would make understanding Darak a […]
Dry is a dystopian ecological disaster story based a little in fact and a lot in what if. It loosely reminds me of one of those blockbuster movies like 2012 and San Andreas where some things are just a smidge too over the top but you let it go because that is the movie you […]
This is the third book in the Alien Mates series by Cara Bristol. Alien Intention can be read as a stand-alone book, but I really enjoy the entire series, so I recommend to start with book one, Alien Mate. This series takes place on the planet of Dakon. This planet was hit with by […]
Rogue Protocol began in the same hilarious manner as the previous two novellas in the Murderbot Diaries series. I began listening on the way to work, which is at most a 5 minute drive, and I was laughing before I got there. Murderbot and its views on humans are priceless. It has picked up a hysterical […]
This is the second book in John Scalzi’s Lock In series. In this futuristic world, many people contracted a plague that left about one percent of the population with Haden’s Syndrome. Anyone who has Haden’s Syndrome, their minds are fully functional, but their bodies are pretty much useless, though they have to be cared for, […]
I saw this as an audible daily deal, thought it sounded good, and went right to the library to request it. Time passed and by the time I started listening I didn’t remember what it was. So I was happy to discover The Wolves of Winter is amazing. The setting is in Canada, the Yukon, […]
I didn’t even read the blurb before requesting this one. I just knew from the cover and title, Stars Uncharted, it was science fiction / space opera by an author I love. This was as enjoyable as their other books I have read. We see the world mainly through the eyes of two strong, talented […]
The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). Audible freebie on October 19, 2017 (currently $14.95 at Audible and $9.29 at Barnes & Noble as of writing this post) Overall rating 4.02 with 9,803 ratings and 1,431 reviews I can’t remember how this freebie became […]
Occasionally the Audible daily deal tempts me to give a chance to a book I wouldn’t normally try, like say a story about the administrative assistant at a company for superheroes. I’m a girl who loves a deal and so when this was the daily deal I picked it up. I mean, who isn’t looking […]
