I look forward to every S.A. Barnes book. It‘s how I discovered sci-fi space horror and I‘m all in.
They are just so much fun. I should have tried them sooner as I‘m a big space monster movie fan.
This was a lot of fun; quite the ride. Perfect? No. But FUN. If anyone has any recs on books like this, please let me know below.
For those who have read this, I have a question in the comments.

MaleficentBookDragon What was with the damn button?!?! Was it just to wear her down mentally and physically? I also wanted more of Karl. He died too fast. 6d

candc320 I thought the same thing about the button! I think it was just a way to get people to the ship to do the “job” and then they have to walk around and be vulnerable for the monster. Also, I assumed Karl would actually be an AI or just not on the ship, so I was a little disappointed he was just working for Zane. 6d

MaleficentBookDragon @candc320 I was thinking Karl was going to be some Frankenstein type doctor using the bodies in the tanks to make a monster or something. I wanted more of him and from him. I also really thought Niina was going to get away somehow and show up at the end. She would be an amazing villain in a second book. The end seemed rushed when we finally got there. I still loved this one though. 6d

candc320 I agree completely! 6d

Kitta I was just thinking about your book blanket haha 6d

RosePressedPages I definitely agree! I wish the suspense and dread had been built up a little more too. Once the big reveal happened, there wasn‘t very much time spent really fleshing it out. Sometimes I feel like Barnes shies away from committing to the horror she creates but I did think this one was very fun. Some space horrors I‘ve found so far are Paradise-1, Scourge Between Stars, Salvation Day, Contagion, We Have Always Been Here, and Ship of Fools. (edited) 5d

MaleficentBookDragon @RosePressedPages Thank you! I'm going to check those out. 5d

I fell a little behind on my #bookblanket with getting ready for vacation and then actually being on vacation. But here it is after completing the stripes to the end of April.
I am also now caught up to today right now, so at least that's one thing checked off of my to-do list

TheBookHippie Looks lovely!!! 3w

Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man) | Jesse Q Sutanto

pick

This was a super cute, quick and fun read.
My only complaint is the overuse of eye rolling 🙄 mentioned every other paragraph for a bit. It was noticeable enough it actually took me out of the story.
I wish more of the old gang were in it, but it would have gotten too crowded; and the new characters were great.
I recommend this, especially if you liked the first one. #bookcover #grannysquare #readingblanket2025 #bookblanket

Caterina I'm so intrigued by your granny square reading blanket, but it sounds dangerously tempting - I'd need quite the array of yarn to try it out, and I already have too much! 🫣 I hope you post a finished pic at the end of the year! 3w

Strange Pictures | Uketsu

I really enjoyed this book. The picture puzzles were intriguing & the twists compelling. I sped through this book. I would have finished it in one go if I didn‘t have to work. 😁 I hate to use the word “fun” because there are some really bleak moments in this book, but it WAS fun to read.
Didn‘t have the perfect green, and it was a lighter weight so I added an additional round, but I still like this #grannysquare for my #bookblanket #doublespin

While this was not as good as the first one it still was delightful fun. I wish we could get books from the other women‘s perspectives, especially Nat; to me Billie is not as interesting as some of the others.

JamieArc I am listening to this now. I agree - the different women as narrators would make for a great series. 2mo

This was an okay short story. It was my #kindlefirst free pick for this month. I do like the square I made for it for for my #bookblanket though! 😁

Gissy Have you made a knitted booksleeve? I saw them in Instagram and they are so lovely. I am so bad in doing craft but I wish I could learn to do a booksleeve 😳, do you think is too complicated for a beginner? 3mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Gissy I made a crocheted one a few years back and it wasn‘t too difficult. If you are on Ravelry, I made a list of bookish patterns that I liked. There are sleeves in it. https://ravel.me/ChelleRydz/3ladtr 3mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Gissy this one looks pretty basic https://ravel.me/book-sleeve-2 3mo

Gissy @MaleficentBookDragon thank so much! They look so pretty 😍 3mo

Low pick for me.
I thought this was going to be a 4 or 5 star read at first. Then halfway through it ran out of gas and the end was just annoying. There is no way Doug would act the way he did at the end. I thought it was building up to a something big, but it ended with a whimper.
It was a page turner though and I did speed through it and there were a few really interesting moments to reflect on.
