Pandora's Star | 
Decided to take a break from The Expanse but keeping it in the same genre for Bk6 of #WinterReadathon Got this in last years #JolabokaflodSwap & wanted to (hopefully) finish it before this years (holding out hope both my packages come before Xmas Eve🤞🤞). It‘s a large book at over 1,000pgs but we can dream right?
so-so1143 pages later, I finally finished Pandora's Star, the March pick for the Sword and Laser book club. I didn't love every minute but kept going because the whole point is exposure to a wide variety of fantasy and science fiction books!
Where to even begin. If lives can be repeated through rejuvenation and the entire universe is your worldbuilding, how can an author even fit it into one book? (He didn't, this ends on a cliffhanger!) ↘️
Went to the library today and got some quickies to read on top of Pandoras Star (it‘s slow going due to the fact that a lot of the book is a recap of Hamiltons Void series). I‘m pretty excited to read my first Alastair Reynolds though, if I like it then I definitely plan on reading more of him!
The first half of December … book book books! #BookHaul #Goldsboro
Pandora‘s Star & Hercule Poirot‘s Christmas are the only December reads and I‘ve only read 4 of the others.
A lot to look forward to in the new year!

I was feeling kind of down on myself for only reading three books in August and then I realized that the tagged alone was like the equivalent of three or four books. That would put me back to the low side of my average.

I managed to catch up with my BookSpin picks so now I'm just behind on the DoubleSpin. I also made progress on my #BuriedAliveChallenge and have an average of 113 points per book there.

pickOkay so this book is massive and while it took me a lot longer than I had planned to finish I enjoyed it. This is basically 900 pages of set up to a conflict that isn‘t resolved at the end which is kind of frustrating but not enough to make me rage quit. I hadn‘t even reached the conflict when I went out and bought the concluding volume. I‘m impressed with the world building and the way seeming tangents end up coming together.#BuriedAliveChallenge
Hoping I can finally conquer this chunkster with some porch reading. It‘s finally cool enough to be outside with a nice light breeze.
Doing some car reading while I wait for my mom at her cataract surgery follow up appointment.

Another week where I haven't finished anything BUT I am over the 50% mark in my 988 page book as well as in Seed to Harvest which is an omnibus of four books.
#WeeklyForecast
My goal is to complete both of my chunksters so we'll see what happens. I'm slowly getting through my BookSpin backlog. I've got to stop putting chunksters on my list lol.
Still plugging along with Pandora‘s Star. I‘m enjoying it and watching the various storylines start to overlap but a little disappointed it‘s taking me so long. Even Callie thinks I should be done by now. Lol.

Another Saturday at the library bookstore. Trying to get far in this chunkster while waiting for customers.
It‘s good porch reading weather so I decided to tackle one of the four chunksters in my #BookSpin backlist. I‘m only in chapter two but including the prologue each section feels like a completely different story.
Happy #BookSpin day to all who celebrate! This is my June tbr stack with the tagged as my book spin and the pattern master omnibus as my double. On my nook is my #CalibreRoulette pick, When Gravity Fails. I‘m currently reading the Thursday Next book and have three library books to round it all out. I‘m excited for this month.
pick🎧 My first book by this author & it‘s not in the Litsy DB? The narrator is a British female.
Headaches plague the citizens on a generational ship that‘s been barreling through space at half the speed of life for 500 years after a mutiny. Is there a cause? Is that cause world ending?
Hazel, our 17 year old MC is a flower girl at the beginning of the story & the captain‘s daughter at the end.
Free listen through NetGallery. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3👇🏻
Audiobooks have been a lifesaver for me due to my chronic insomnia. Pandora‘s Star is one I go back to again and again. You can never go wrong with a sweeping space opera! #24in48
POOF💥 A star vanishes and now we have a SciFi mystery.
Chapter 1 introduced the plot element.
This being a popular book of the genre should be a worthy reading.
pickAn epic masterpiece. Probably the most comprehensive, engaging, nerdgasmic science fiction I have read till date. I devoured this book.
