Welcome to Litsy!

This book is a bit more meditative in nature compared to the first part. It's still full of humor and of an unexpected adventure, and lovely heroes - human and not. The ending is sort of obvious: even if you a Murderbot in a search of answers, finding them won't be any easy and you have to start looking from within.

This was a lot better than the first one. The lack of worldbuilding is a bit of a bummer but I hope the more Murderbot interacts with the world the more we find out.

ART may be even funnier than Murderbot! I love the two of them together, I hope this isn‘t the last we see of this friendship.

In the 2nd novella, the rogue SEC unit goes to confront their past, bonds with the artificial intelligence in charge of his transport over their love of media consumption. When I‘m need of an employment contract, Murderbot is forced to take a job helping some researchers get back their files, which quickly gets much more dangerous.
Again, a strange & fun way to present issues like burnout, depression, the illusion of free will.

I love Murderbot! This series has me hooked. Such quick, entertaining, clever books. Looking forward to the next one!

Reread. Hopefully catching up on the rest this year.

I just ADORE Murderbot as a character, something so adorable xD

There were some intriguing things happening, and I wanted to see what was going on. Some things got solved, but left me intrigued to know more.

I think I read book one to meet a readathon requirement and enjoyed it. I read this one for the same reason and liked it too. I don‘t typically choose sci-fi on my own, but if I‘m pointed in that direction I do tend to enjoy it.

#FirstLineFridays
I joined the #GetAClue readathon hosted by RainyBlueReads on instagram. I needed a book about a non-human so I decided to continue with The Murderbot Diaries. g

My review of this book can be found on my YouTube Vlog at:

Enjoy!

Ooooooh, ART has a female computer voice!!! 😍😍😍😍

Liked this one better than the GraphicAudio of book 1. I'm sold. I want all of Murderbot as GraphicAudio now.

4/5⭐ Murderbot making a friend is so pure. I'm digging the journey into the past. Thoroughly enjoyable. #bookspin

Happy Friday 😄

I don‘t know why I waited so long to read this series. But after finally reading All Systems Red this weekend (and I found the receipt for it dated Aug 2022), I immediately went out & bought the rest of the series. Book 2, just as awesome, maybe even more because of ART. 5⭐️ On to book 3!

The second book in this series did not disappoint! I love the addition and development of the AI character ART (as well as the moniker and the meaning behind it). The further development of the main character's story also pulled me in so much, I ordered the next book the day I finished this one!

I‘ve been trying to find these at my library since reading #1. Finally found them! Love this series. If AI can begin to feel and care will we be safe or sorry? Love Murderbot!:)

I listened to this in one night. I always enjoy a good murderbot story. I'll continue to make my way through this series. 4⭐️

New location, new fire and a new book. I‘m loving this reverse spring break at my alma mater. Lots of new things here on and around campus but plenty of nostalgia for this Spartan. Go Green!!!

Working my way through this series and I have to say, I really appreciate the client-centered nature of Murderbot's practice 😂

Bots keeping each other company. Current anxiety over AI CREATING media (Midjourney, ChatGPT)—SecUnit and ART have skipped creation and are now media CONSUMERS, bonding over their favorite shows. 🤣 “Becoming human.” Good pacing. AI with clear sense of duty makes strong MC. Clever use of security cameras & feeds for description. P65 “Humans are nervous of me because I‘m a terrifying murderbot, and I‘m nervous of them because they‘re humans.” 2018

After gaining its freedom by rescuing its clients, Murderbot decides to travel to the mining colony where it earned its name.
It talks its way into an unmanned research transport that is a bit more sentient than your average vessel. Murderbot and ART form a tentative friendship over soap operas and ART helps Murderbot get answers.

I liked this book even more than the first in the series. The new characters were more entertaining and Wells is great at writing the internal dialogue of the narrator.

I'm glad I picked up Murderbot's story again. This one was a lot more fun than the first one, I think maybe because I'm now familiar with the world and Murderbot's character. This one follows the journey to try to find out about its past. On the way we meet ART, a bot-driven transport ship who decides to help out. I loved the two's back and forth relationship.

Awesome. Murderbot has a new collection of "soft...tiny" human ducklings to look after, and ART is a treasure.????

ART coming in with return volley of SASS! 😁

THE SASS! ?

"(I could have told the company that the fact that SecUnits are terrifying killing machines does, in fact, make humans nervous regardless of what we look like, but nobody listens to me."

Ace character rep. 💜🖤⚪🏳️

Transport ship gets a (reluctant) friend to watch shows with! 🥰🤖

Murderbot, with the help of A.R.T, works on becoming more "human" in this addition to the series. The relationship between the two makes for such a great story. Once again I find Murderbot to be an endearing character with very relatable thoughts and characteristics.

This series has great characters, an interesting world, and the action is just the right amount for the size of the book.

Love how these are short lil works that I can finish in one shot while I draw or paint or whatever. I‘m totally engrossed in this universe and enjoying the characters, can‘t wait to get the rest of the series!

The babies chose to climb up next to me to go to sleep, so of course I had no choice but to stay in this spot and finish my book! I loved this just as much as All Systems Red - Murderbot is just the most endearing character! #fosterkittens #catsoflitsy #kittensoflitsy

And there goes Murderbot, being all relatable again...

Murderbot and A.R.T. #ilovemurderbot #friendsday #julyjam @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

The 2nd installment in the Murderbot Diaries has Murderbot learning to act more "human" and investigating his past. I loved the addition of ART (Asshole Research Transport) and I hope he returns in later books - their dynamic together was great!

I f***in' love Murderbot. I hope they team up with ART again, they make a good pair!

The second Murderbot book was just as engaging and entertaining as the first. Actually, I enjoyed it even more. Murderbot decides to try to find out what happened when it supposedly committed mass murder and ends up taking a private security job. Hijinks ensue (who knew humans could be so self-destructively, monumentally stupid), with more sarcasm and a fantastic transport bot who I hope we see more of in future books. Absolutely delightful.

This series is so much fun. There is plenty of action and it has its funny moments too.

Another great installment!

I am loving this series. I‘m not much of a Sci-if reader, but this series has me fully engaged. Our main character-Murderbot continues his journey to unravel the mystery of his past. Adventures ensue! 5⭐️

The second Murderbot novel finds the free SecUnit exploring his mysterious past. I found this one even stronger than the first, probably because of the mystery elements. Murderbot continues to be a fascinating character that this novel develops more fully.

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView ! 💕

1. I loved watching Murderbot (an introvert) get adopted into a friendship with ART (extrovert). It‘s how all of my friendships in college happened. 😂
2. I hope Murderbot gets to meet up again with the group from book 1! 🤞🏻

In the process of finding out what has been wiped from Murderbot‘s memory, they learn what it‘s like to choose their own clients and how to make friends with a cargo ship AI.

I loved Murderbot so much. So relatable. We get an insight into their past, while also watching them deal with the fact that having the knowledge doesn‘t result in any kind of epiphany or healing. & watching them reluctantly make friends with ART was hilarious. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I read the first book last year & appreciated muderbot concept. But Somehow I delayed reading the next one. Now I read the second one and enjoyed it equally. It is even better cos of ART . 3.5🌟

#seriesread2022 #bookspinbingo

I love me some sarcastic media-loving antisocial artificial intelligence bot! And now I have my husband tagging along too!

Book 2 of the Murderbot Diaries, I enjoyed this even more than the first one! Murderbot is so relatable 😆 ⭐⭐⭐.5

Starting the New Year right with a re-listen to my favourite Murderbot 🤖- for a scary Security Unit he‘s all soft and mushy inside: in this episode we meet ART the snarky transport -one of my favourite characters in the series ( they are on Hoopla and Libby)

This was a lot more meh for me than the first one. I‘m not exactly sure why I wasn‘t as into this one but I just wasn‘t really feeling it. It was nice and quick to read but that‘s about where I‘m at.
