Lords of Uncreation | Adrian Tchaikovsky

Wow. Good wrap up for the series. The VUlture God crew is on the run from the Architects and from the creature(alien, whatever) that is making them attack and alter planets with intelligent life forms. What do they want? What can stop them?

I love the characters, who are exceedingly diverse. The story is imaginative, full of humor even in the face of terror. Brightly written, with great visuals throughout.

tpixie This it? Nancy Pearl‘s Rule of 50 for dropping a bad book. Pearl, a famous librarian with her own action figure and author of Book Lust, acknowledged that the world of books is immense, but time is short. So “If you‘re fifty years old or younger, give every book about fifty pages before you decide to commit yourself to reading it, or give up.” Over fifty? Subtract your age from 100 and use that as your guide. 2d

The Expanse: Origins | James S.A. Corey

Man, this irritates me! These are all I have of the series so far, so I don‘t know what the rest look like.

mcctrish My husband LOVES this series, now I need to go look at his 6d

AlaMich @mcctrish I mean, I think they‘re the same editions, but maybe my book 3 is a later printing or something. I have no clue. 6d

shortsarahrose It looks like maybe book 3 is a mass market paperback while the other two are trade paperbacks? 6d

AlaMich @shortsarahrose It definitely looks that way, but don‘t MM versions usually have different covers? These are otherwise identical 6d

shortsarahrose Not always. I think it‘s really just the size that has to be different. 6d

Ruthiella Two are trade paperbacks and one is a mass market paperback. They are sized differently. You should be able to find book three in the right size if you want them to match. (edited) 6d

AlaMich @Ruthiella I suppose I‘m not annoyed enough to hunt for one, but thank you. 😊 6d

Centique I have a few sets like this! I keep my eye out for the trade paperback versions in the second hand shops so i can swop out the littlies eventually 😂😂 5d

AlaMich @Centique That‘s what I should do. I ordered all three used from AbeBooks, and it‘s very hard to tell exactly what you‘re ordering on their site. (edited) 5d

Centique @AlaMich yes! I bet it is. I managed to do it on Book Depository and they even tell you the measurements 😂😂 I ordered a classic in hardback and thought it was a great price. When it turned up it was a miniature and only about 10cms high! 😂😂 5d

This was a great listen that describes the experiences of the first six American women to be astronauts - Sally Ride, Judy Resnik, Anna Fisher, Kathy Sullivan, Shannon Lucid, and Rhea Seddon.

The Calculating Stars: A Lady Astronaut Novel

Daisey @Ruthiella That does sound like an interesting companion read. 6d

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was engaging, funny and exciting every step of the way.
I was quite satisfied with the movie too, although it wasn't as good as the book obviously.

ShyBookOwl I read this 1-2x a year and love it just as much every time. Project Hail Mary is great too! 1w

starlight97 @ShyBookOwl I'm planning to read that one too! 1w
