Really liked this one! Picture Covid, but with lots of people being kept alive in small spaces while robot bodies take their places and live their lives. A couple of FBI agents are on the case of a couple of suicides directly connected to the neural connections of the bodies. Sounds confusing? It isn‘t really when you get into the story. Very entertaining read.

I hate to do this, since it was my selection for June's #LitsySciFiBookClub, but I'm bailing. I've been reading it for over a month, and I'm still only about 35% into it. I just don't care for the writing or the characters. #hailthebail

Included the short story/novella Unlocked.

This was published in 2014, but gets pretty close to our lived experience of Covid-19.

Also, the crime novel part reminded me of Scalzi's The Dispatcher trilogy (btw, narrated by Zach Quinto).

I have the second book, Head On, already queued up.

Tree dweller #GhostCat is probably not just judging me but also the distance between her current place and my lap (roughly 2 metres or over 6 foot). There's my knitting project where she'd like to sleep.

#LitsySciFiBookClub #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 I really didn‘t want to buy new books this month, but Scalzi is hard to resist so I gave in to temptation. I have no regrets. I think of Scalzi as a writer of humorous science fiction, but the subject is not humorous at all. A world wide pandemic has devastating consequences. I thought this book might have been influenced by Covid-19, but it was released in 2014. So I guess it‘s somewhat (cont)⬇️

I'm updating the spreadsheet we use to admin the @LitsyEvents page and share all your great events/games/buddyreads/readathons/competitions, etc.

It would be a great help if you could help me out by tagging the details of your events, hosts, dates/times, info about the group/event.

Additionally, if you no longer run an event, please let me know so I can remove it from the taglist.

Please tag me @AllDebooks or @LitsyEvents #LitsyEvents

TIA x

If I don‘t look at a calendar, can I pretend we‘re not already halfway through 2024? 😅
