panDex was having an existential crisis that led them to leave the life they had known, twice.They embarked on a journey with a robot who lived in the wild. The lack of world building had me rereading pages trying to get my bearings and understand what was going on. The overuse of they as Dex‘s pronouns was distracting. Sometimes the story would summarize years in just a few sentences but then spend pages lingering on just a few days. Book#21 in2025
Hello #MonthlyNonfiction2025 friends! Both @willaful and @TheAromaofBooks suggested that since there are 11 Dewey classifications, it might be fun to read one classification per month.
If anyone would like to do that, I have updated the StoryGraph challenge to include the Dewey classifications as Bonus prompts.
So you can track your monthly reading in the regular monthly prompts (#1-12) and your Dewey reading in Bonus prompts #13-23. ⬇️

pickBook #21 of 2024: “Psychlone” by Greg Bear
A decent atomic-era sci-fi novel from the 70s. It kept me engaged and wanting to see what would happen next. It‘s not light but it won‘t make you cry or ruin your mood.

Matt and I just got back from the #21 ASU Sun Devils vs. the #14 BYU Cougars football game. Whew! And the Devils won ... with a legendary ending! 🤩 It's been a long time since we've been to a college football game, and it was such fun to be near the student section! Here's a link to the ending: Adopted in 2008

so-so😳Sorry, another unpopular opinion. Beautiful written but there is something missing for me in the story and in the ending🤷🏽♀️I wanted to love it after all those extraordinary reviews/ratings in GR and Litsy. Maybe I could give it another try in the future. 3⭐️
