pickThis was such a good read! I immediately put the first book on my To Read-List. It was spooky, with a lot of spookiness coming from how people are treated (e.g. reality). I never knew where the story was really going and yes, I had a soft spot for Derek. I think I'm into anti-capitalist satire.

pickThe second book in the Litenverse did not disappoint! Funny, adventurous, and uplifting.

Interesting space opera where humans use artificial constructs to upload into to fight a war against aliens. Interesting concepts, mystifying aliens and weird artefacts. What's not to like.

bailed#unpopularopinion I know a lot of people really enjoyed this book, but it's just not doing it for me. Maybe it's because I've just listened to two mysteries, I'm burnt out on solving murders, or maybe Lafferty isn't an author for me. I also bailed on The Shambling Guide to New York City. I think it's time for something lighter.
pickThis is the follow up to Mickey7 and I kind of liked this one better. The emphasis is less on how Mickey is an expendable and more on his diplomatic efforts with the Creepers. We get to see more of the planet and the other life on it.
pickIn this sequel to Mickey 7, Mickey once again holds the fate of the human colony on Niflheim in his hands. This time, though, he's no longer an Expendable, doomed to a cycle of horrible death followed by reprinting--instead, he has to try his hand at diplomacy and maybe even leadership. Dealing with imperfect information and intense time pressure, dying seems easier by comparison.
pickAnother book I was inspired to read after seeing the author at TX Book Fest.
5 women are cloned after being murdered by a serial killer. This is from the point of view of Louis, who was killed while running in her city‘s park.
An interesting aspect was that Louis had a daughter who was just 3 months old when she was killed, and her clone‘s relationship with her daughter.
The ending was unexpected for me, in a good way.
pickIt was good. I read it pretty quick. Wish the ending was a little better but I did enjoy it.
