pickI really love this series. Even the weaker entries, however this is not one of the weak ones. It goes deeper into the lore of the doors and the children who find them!

pickI sneakily read my February #Roll100 book already. 🤭 At just 152 pages, it‘s fits the “Shortest on TBR” #OffMyShelf prompt.
I prefer the Wayfarer books but Martha Wells is correct with her blurb here, “An optimistic vision of a lush, beautiful world.” Not a lot of plot or tension. Sibling Dex and Mosscap visit the settlements on Panga before they approach The City. Such a positive view of what humanity is capable of.
pickClaire Keegan's writing is just excellent. Through it, she brings alive characters, places, thoughts. Not one unnecessary word, no fandangle. Everything is at the service of the story.
Based on the Magdalene laundries, institutions for “fallen women“ run by Roman Catholic orders, this novella brings to a wider audience the abuse suffered by these women, it's the power of fiction.
pickI went into this story completely blind and it turned out to be such a clever little book!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickA fun sci-fi mystery novella. Now to Hope my there are more and my library had them.
At the risk of gorging myself, I'm going to re-read the first four Murderbot books before reading the following two for the first time, after which I will buy the latest one.
Also, I am well peeved that "Network Effect" is marginally larger in length and breadth than the other books. Who the fuck okayed that? ?♂️???

so-soA short novella. I liked the concept but I wish it would have been a full novel with more character development and world building. A little heavy with themes of sexual assault so be warned before you begin. I loved the feminist themes but it just didn‘t land for me as a great retelling of a Sleeping Beauty story.
Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was a long, exhausting day at work… just want to come here for some peaceful, happy scrolling. See what everyone is reading and maybe some pets! 🐾

pickI really loved Mcguire's newest addition to the Wayward Children series. I absolutely adored Nadya's character when we first met her in Book 3 of this series. Getting to learn more about her background, and her first journey to Belyyreka was everything I wanted it to be, and more. 😍 This book also did an excellent job of dealing with themes of adoption and disabilities.
I can't wait for the next book in this series.
so-soA fun and quick listen for sure, but I guess ultimately not really my thing because I haven't been itching to pick up more in the series.
