First of all, that cover! The librarian who checked out my book haul went 😻and said she was looking forward to reading it too.

It reminds me of the movie RED for the novice thrown into a crazy situation vibe, with a strong side of H2G2 for the (foul mouthed) dolphins. Fast paced, very readable, and not subtle commentary on extreme wealth. The author is also a good follow on social media.

“In a dog eat dog world…be a cat.”

Aims42 I suggested this for my IRL bookclub to read! I haven‘t read it but it‘s been on my TBR pile for a while. Ugh, now I might just read it without them since I don‘t know when they‘ll get around to selecting it 😆 16h

Ruthiella I thought this was fun. And I loved those potty mouth dolphins! 🐬😂 15h

Cleared for Takeoff: The Ultimate Book of Flight | Rowland White

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

In Hilo today for 3 focus groups so today‘s haiku was inspired by my morning & flight home book choice which is this one (pictured) that I‘m reading for the #AuthorAMonth & thinking about what makes a perfect airplane book for me.

What kind of books do you like to read while flying?

The perfect plane book
Action or laughs, something light
Best travel buddy

Old Man's War | John Scalzi

pick

I love this author. His books always make me laugh. Old Man's War is an interesting take on who gets to explore space. Would you sign up to fight in a war you've never seen at the age of 75? I can understand the draw of being young again, but to leave family behind in lieu of getting old would be very hard.

Against the Ice: The Classic Arctic Survival Story | Ejnar Mikkelsen

And this tropical vegetation is exactly what the characters are facing in my #authoramonth book The Kaiju Preservation Society in #Greenland! So weird having these two books in the same country. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks @Soubhiville

Soubhiville That is such a funny coincidence. 3d

willaful Reading When the Moon Hits Your Eye. I've really liked Red Shirts (might reread), Starter Villain, the Kaiju Preservation Society and Lock In. I also enjoyed his nonfiction Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded. 3d

Hooked_on_books I shipped out your birthday box and the tracking number says it arrived yesterday, so I‘m hoping you have it! 2d

Soubhiville @Hooked_on_books Yes I picked it up yesterday, thank you so much! I can‘t believe I‘m 50 in 5 days… how is that possible? 2d

Hooked_on_books It‘s a big one, right? That‘ll be me next year. I didn‘t react much to 40, but then 41 hit me harder, so I wonder if the same thing will happen at 50. 2d

Constituent Service | John Scalzi

pick

Many years into the future, Earth has welcomed countless alien immigrants. Main characte/human Ashley is on her first day of the job serving the myriad aliens with constituent services—a sort of help desk—for the Third District. She helps a number of them right off the bat, with an upbeat, can-do attitude putting her on a collision course with a terror no one else in the city is aware of. Unbelievably all the little threads of stories come ⬇️

Soubhiville

Texreader together perfectly. I‘ve enjoyed almost all the Scalzi books I‘ve read, and this one might top them. I loved it! #authoramonth 4d

Soubhiville Sounds great! 4d
