panDex was having an existential crisis that led them to leave the life they had known, twice.They embarked on a journey with a robot who lived in the wild. The lack of world building had me rereading pages trying to get my bearings and understand what was going on. The overuse of they as Dex‘s pronouns was distracting. Sometimes the story would summarize years in just a few sentences but then spend pages lingering on just a few days. Book#21 in2025
pickI read 8 books in February. A slow month for me. Pictured is my reading journal where I like to draw in their spines next to a star rating. I write the full title and author name on the left page.
Favorites were my rereads of Moon Called & Blood Bound with A Closed & Common Orbit being a close second.
Finished out the month with a couple of Ruby Dixon books from her Aspect & Anchor series which is one of hers I have not yet finished reading. ⬇️
Went to my local Indie bookstore, RiverBend Bookshop to pick up my Feb. holds & of course I left with 3 more books. What a thrill! #joy #indiebookstores #books
pickI‘m not sure which part I found the most charming/entertaining - a witch who traps princesses in towers for the art of it, a princess who eventually realises that violence is the answer and a bottom of the garden fairy with a penchant for science, tactics and explosives. This was my first Tamsyn Muir - and I loved how this unfolded so I suspect - not my last.
pickCute, funny, and diverse novella, and much better than the last novella of the series. TW: to homophobia and police brutality.
This is fun save the bits of period language. Pictured is my fuzzy reading buddy.

I read a bit disappointing books during my holiday, except for this one that is so original and also made me think about today‘s world a lot.
My favorite of the month however must be Poor Deer.

Since I read The Stand fairly recently, I'm going to read the comic adaptation for @BarkingMadRead #losersclub this month. I'm also going to try to re-read the Murderbot Diaries, or at least the first four books, before the show starts.
pickI had a good time with this book. This book takes place in Macon, Georgia (where I currently live). It was fun being able to visualize the neighborhoods and streets that were mentioned. The story is original, I love the mix of historical fiction and fantasy. And it‘s always great seeing racist people/monsters get their butts kicked. I loved the ending and decision making. The only reason I didn‘t give it five stars was because of the slow middle.
