so-soIn a futuristic England, a disowned noble son & the scientist that takes him in travel to Egypt to explore the pyramids. I‘m doing so, they wake a Mummy that sets out to cause chaos.
This was an odd read. Absolutely fascinating ideas of scientific developments, politics & backstabbing worthy of Game of Thrones. But so slow & bland characters. & I‘ll be honest, I mostly kept reading hoping the Mummy overthrew the English monarchy.😂 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
pickA collection of SFF short stories from China, translated by Ken Liu.
An enjoyable collection, though despite the final essay in the book, I'm not sure what makes most of the stories particularly Chinese apart from the names of people and places.
The stories I liked best were:

I‘m counting this book for the #greekmythologychallenge:

pickThis is a love story set in the midst of an in-progess global apocalypse. It's filled with lust, miscommunication, and attempts by one party to anticipate the desires of the other (and missing the mark, as so often happens). I'm not sure I *like* this novel, but I love Xe Sands's narration and the story definitely touches on some interesting ideas about love, connection, and mortality.
pick#weeklyfavorites @Read4life 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃 Loved this weird dark cozy sci-fi! Full of quirky characters, lots of intrigue, and a fantastic setting, this book checked all my boxes.
Somebody got GRUMPY at bedtime last night. I had to sit up with him until he calmed down, which wasn‘t too much of an issue because I wanted to finish rereading THE WAR OF THE WORLDS anyways. I enjoyed it a lot, both for itself and for all the familiar imagery it brought into the canon. I mean, pretty well every disaster narrative has That Scene with the crowded freeway or whatever, and boom. Here it is, along with a bunch of others.
