I was recommended (told) that I MUST read the second book in this series immediately. That it was better than the first, and I'd regret having waited to get to it. That recommendation wasn't wrong. It was definitely not a waste of time. I'm hoping I can get to the third book very soon. #25-2025

February 2025 Book #7

Sorry, unpopular opinion here. I think this book was overhyped for me. That situation at the hotel was so unrealistic to me. Then, we have a character not only with suicidal ideation but also a plan to do it and it was ignored? I have read books with morbid humor like Hagman by Maya Binyam but from the beginning you see the absurd tone. I didn‘t see that in this novel. It was tragic so sad her situation but ignored⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) There were some funny scenes but in general, it didn‘t work for me. At the end we see a growth in some characters which gives hope to the characters.

Maybe the book was so well commented with great reviews and a rating of more that 4 stars in GR that I expected a stronger story🤷🏽‍♀️ 3⭐️

The Sentinel: A Jack Reacher Novel | Lee Child, Andrew Child

I‘ve finally made it to book #25 in the Jack Reacher series! The Sentinel marks the first book where Lee Child collaborates with his brother, Andrew Child, to take over the writing of the series. I thoroughly enjoyed Andrew Child‘s contribution to the series. Reacher remains the same character who finds himself entangled in familiar predicaments while assisting those in need.

Sace I was just telling my husband today that I should give some Reacher books a try. 2mo
NatalieR @Sace I love the series. I‘ve been reading them in order, but you don‘t have to. 2mo

An enchanting book about time travel and the consequences that could come. Every time I put the book down I couldn‘t stop thinking about June. This was so beautifully written and sure to be one of my tops books of the year. Book #25 in 2025

Not exactly “brief” at 17+ hours, I felt like I was taking a college class on AI and the history of communications. YNH shares ideas about how humans network, how information travels and how terrifying our online world currently is and where we go from here. If you have an interest in AI and its future, internet bots, how our online information is taken and used, this book gives you a lot to think about. I enjoyed the ideas I leaned about.

ChaoticMissAdventures What if you have a deep seeded hatred for AI to the point that your firms IT director will not let anyone in the firm mention AI to you any longer? Will this help give me ammunition to fight "progress"? ? Or maybe make me less angry about how much water these programs are using? 7mo
Cortg @ChaoticMissAdventures Ha! Where I work we actually have an AI teams page where everyone bitches about it and how we can do our job while minimally using it and it‘s where I came across this title. Unfortunately, AI‘s not going away. My thought is to stay informed and understand it. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer kind of thing. It has so much potential to be dangerous in so many ways. (edited) 7mo
Cortg @ChaoticMissAdventures Yes, it‘ll give you ammunition in many of his ideas. 7mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @Cortg for sure on enemies closer! I have figured out searching Google by putting -noAI gives you responses with out the AI crap which has helped so much. 7mo
SqueakyChu I‘m reading this book now and only finished three chapters before it was due back at the library. Now I‘m back on the waiting list for me to get it again! 😦 7mo
Cortg @SqueakyChu I have a physical copy on hold because I wanted to (re)read a section towards the end. 🧐 7mo
SqueakyChu @Cortg You, too!! 😂 7mo
Cortg @SqueakyChu I checked today and I‘m #25 on the hold list, which actually makes me happy because people will hopefully read it! 7mo
SqueakyChu 👍 7mo

Second book in the Illumbe trilogy. Story is with different characters but same place. For the trilogy doesn‘t have to read in order but it will make more sense since some characters from first book are mentioned in this story. A singer‘s friend died in a suspicious circumstances and he is receiving notes from an eccentric fan. He and some friends from his former band will try to investigate what really happened to this friend. (Cont) ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) Some parts are predictable and the person who was behind this death and how everything was committed made the story too unrealistic. But it in general it was entertaining. 3/3.5⭐️

June 2024 Book #9
