1. Two books for #Bookspin, and one for #LPMBC. Finish Islands of abandonment. Finish an ARC for #NGGSummerSmashup.
2. I'm choosing the tagged book. It isn't without problems, but it made me think.
3. Jack McDevitt's Octavia Gone. Not awful, but I'm over this series.

pickThought provoking and hopeful, yet some things didn't make sense to me. I enjoyed Beatrice's story more than Reiko's. Glad I read this, may be eligible for a reread.
This is also my #doublespin for June! #Bookspin
In the bedroom, Beatrice turned towards the full-length mirror. It was still covered with a dusty sheet. She pulled it off and looked at herself. Beatrice took off her clothes. She stood naked in front of the mirror. This body, she thought. These arms stirred and carried. These hands chopped and minced. These strong shoulders. These capable thighs. These wide hips. This belly that moved with her, that was her.
Beatrice Bolano looked down at her almost empty plate. She was hungry. Hungry in the way they warned about in church, whispered about in the girls' bathroom at school, scratched into the wall behind the Buff ' n' Go. Beatrice was hungry for taste, texture, mouthfeel. Crispy, crunchy, silky, chewy. Beatrice was hungry for juxtaposition, and she would never tell anyone as long as she lived.
