This was awesome, and proof that a book can have important themes and be an entertaining page-turner at the same time.

"Our troubles would have been over if Brucie-Baby had scored a hit. Or if the vortex mirror had blown up in the middle of the jump. Or if- Don't be afraid of trouble, Silver. They're a sign of life. We'll deal with them together - tomorrow"
They've been on my TBR forever, so I decided it was finally time to start reading the Vorkosigan Saga. Hoopla has the entire series (I think) on audio. A great way to kick off the new year!
2017 #108 SciFi Audio this was written in the early to mid 80s and it shows. The gender dynamic is dated but the story was decent. I don't know if I love it enough to read more. The others seem to have better ratings but meh. Decent story just not awe inspiring.
When I started this book, I was disappointed to remember that it was not a Miles book. That disappointment lasted, oh, about five pages. As always, Bujold delivers an exciting, rollicking, laugh-out-loud-cry-out-loud space adventure.
Road trip time! Lucky me, my husband drives, so I get to read. 😁
I've been reading the Vorkosigan books bit by little bit so I don't run out of them yet. Slotting Falling Free in here between A Civil Campaign and Diplomatic Immunity. I love them all so much.
I finished my reread of Falling Free yesterday by audio. I originally read this paperback in 2012 and really enjoyed it. I remembered the basics, but the details had to be refreshed. It was really good upon reread and I am so excited I get to listen to more in the series thanks to an Audible sale!
Most of my rereading is done by audio. I am currently listening to this book right now that I read a couple years ago. There was a good audio sale so I have a few books in this series now. Hoping to reread the ones I have read before and finally move on in the series... #booktober
Definitely got soggy a bit in the middle, but really picked up for the end. This was my introduction to this world, and I'm looking forward to living here for a while.
After taking forever with this series, I decided to do the audios instead thanks to an Audible sale. I don't have them all, but hopefully enough to get me further than reading this series has! #tbrtuesday
