#12Booksof2024 I‘m a few days late starting this challenge, but here‘s my picks for the first months of this year. January - Revenge by Tom Bower( Meghan is awful)plus it was the only book I read in January!
February - House of Flame & Shadow by Sarah.J.Maas March - Aurora Rising by Alistair Reynolds, one of the best scifi series I‘ve read.

Not for me. Charles, a robot, inexplicably murders his owner and sets off to find out why. I thought it might be an interesting comparison with Annie Bot but, after 3 hours of the 12.5 hour audiobook absolutely nothing has happened. It‘s very repetitive too, feeling like a child‘s story.
I get the idea that most humans have disappeared so maybe there are some interesting insights later but I‘m not hanging around to find out.
so-soSea of Rust meets Wall-E meets A.I. (the film).
By which I mean the dystopian cynicism comes through more strongly than the charm of a hapless robot trying to find its purpose amidst the remains of humanity. Perhaps it's just the proliferation of discussion on this topic or my desire to always find a good robot book, either I'm getting pickier or it's getting harder to find stories on this subject that don't feel like not-too-wild-variances 1/?
Oh, HELL no!
Hoppity Jack: soon to be starring in my nightmares. 😶🌫️
pickI don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't this. This was a discussion of cognitive theory and sentience as it relates to the human condition disguised as a first contact novel with vampires?!
Robot Knight Librarians! I cannot express how much I love this.
pick1st scene reminded me of the Red Dwarf episode when we meet Kryton. Charles is a rich man‘s robot valet.
Best library & robot librarians.
Charles is on a mission to find a new job. We walk with him & his sidekick through a world in crumbles. Humanity is dwindling.
There‘s pop culture & literary Easter eggs. LOVE a fun nerdy robot story with a moral & this didn‘t disappoint! The narration was great! (little too much religion for me)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
