Love Will Tear Us Apart | C. K. McDonnell

pick

Another stellar entry in the series. While I'm gleeful to continue on to see how various characters develop further in the next book, I'm also relieved to have certain answers and see certain arcs completed in this one.
As I've come to expect, there are bonkers happenings, heartbreakingly human moments, and some damn creepy shit. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? A who's who of supernatural beings and conspiracy theory fodder, and moments where giggling hysterically is the only appropriate response.
No sooner did my mind begin drawing certain Thursday Murder Club vibes comparisons than the author made Osman the subject of a 'theory'. 😆
I think if you love both Terry Pratchett and Richard Osman, you should give this series a try. 4w

Robotswithpersonality 3/? I sincerely hope we see Betty again, and loved seeing more of Harnforth. Did not realize I wanted that direction for Stanley, but it adds to my satisfied grinning.
I was concerned the somewhat split narrative would take away from the group dynamic, but there's definitely still smaller group clusters of chaos running about the place, and the earlier segmentation of the team makes the end even better. 4w

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 I am certainly going to follow up on the author's announced existence of a podcast with Stranger Times stories, and a newsletter subscription resulting in free short stories in the same universe, as it will make the wait until I can get the next book via interlibrary loan easier to bear.

Discworld cameo? 🦆

BkClubCare I swear, the word “nonplussed” is everywhere! This is like the 4th time I‘ve encountered it. The third was about 4 pages ago in my current read! 😊 4w

willaful And usually used incorrectly. 😒 4w

Ruthiella @willaful I‘ve read that nonplussed can mean both “confused” and “unimpressed”. I always used it in the second way. I only recently learned it could mean or originally meant perplexed. 4w

Retief! | Keith Laumer

This post contains spoilers

show me

pick

45/100 Keith Laumer has always been one of my favorite sci-fi writers, and Jami Retief is his greatest creation. Retief is a member of the CDT (Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne) who look out for Terrestrial interests in the universe. Sadly, Retief is surrounded by incompetent diplomats, more interested in promotions and commendations, than doing the right thing for the planets they watch over. Retief is cynical, clever and totally irreverent ⬇️

RamsFan1963 it comes to listening to authority figures. This is definitely comic science fiction, but Retief makes for a solid hero, always doing what he thinks is right. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 1mo
