pickMy 4th and last book of March is the last in the Prefect Dreyfus Emergency trilogy. Panoply is a police force of sorts in the Glitter Band, a conglomerate of habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone. Dreyfus is stunned when Tench, another prefect, walks unarmed into a dangerous habitat & is killed. When the coincidences add up to a grand plot by the insane & very dangerous AI Aurora, Dreyfus puts everything on the line to stop her. Brilliant🙌 👇
My May favourite was this one. Again this is as far as I have got in the series so far. Something I hope to rectify next year! I was originally disappointed we didn‘t see the same characters again, but ended up enjoying it ☺️

Fantastic book
pickThe Infinity Particle was a really enjoyable science fiction graphic novel about human relationships with sentient humanoid artificial intelligences. It's about ethics and consciousness and trauma and love.
I took a moment to get around the drawing style (grown adults looking like children), but since one of the MCs is doing a work-study programme, I got there.
Early birthday present : with some extreme couponing, I got a new iPad Air to replace my 2012 iPad 4th gen! This is lightning fast in comparison, the screen is lovely, and it can actually run Disney Plus. Also, it's purple. And has more than 16G in storage, lol.
Libby ahoy...
pickA pleasant imagining and plausible logic make this a fascinating read. Love the twists of awareness that the AI has, and how Scalzi plays with our human centric point of view.
