Dissolution | Nicholas Binge

so-so

I didn‘t fully understand it. But I‘d recommend for anyone who loves sci-fi and time travel.

I‘m going to have to make that home library list of Star Trek books. This is the third I‘ve restarted before realizing I‘ve read it before 😁

RamsFan1963 Well on the bright side of things, it is one of the better Star Trek novels 1d

Chittavrtti No lie. I‘m going to decide which edition‘s cover I like best and start a give away stack to convert the Trek-less with the duplicates. 24h

Sea of Rust | C. Robert Cargill

Next up! I know I can blame summer camp discussions on picking up this one. I even pitched it to my book club 😬😱😳 which I am sure half of the group is displeased. #ohwell #bookclubrecfear Raise your hand if you, too, fear the wrath of poor book choices?!?! 🙋🏻‍♀️

2/5⭐️ Really didn‘t like this book; really wished that my library book club hadn‘t picked this one. Felt that the topic, while timely, felt a bit esoteric at times and it didn‘t help that the storyline that jumped around a lot; not a fan of Ms. Evan‘s writing style. #bookclub #contemporary #2025 #fiction #scifi

Jurassic Park : [novel] | Michael Crichton

pick

The concept of a Jurassic Theme Park with live dinosaurs has always mesmerized me. Where can I buy a ticket?! 🫣 So I finally read the book where it all started. I was surprised to find a frightfully sinister Hammond and an even more annoying Malcolm and Lex. But overall terrifying factor—off the charts. Must read more Michael Crichton. What a creative genius he was! Is the original movie better than the book? I‘d say they go best hand in hand.

PurpleyPumpkin I read this years ago, AFTER I saw the movie. That‘s most unlike me as I usually read the book first. At the time, I enjoyed the book more. Maybe it‘s time for a reread to see if I still agree with my earlier assessment! We lost a great writer way too early when MC passed away. 2d

AmyG I loved this book and the movie. 2d

MemoirsForMe @PurpleyPumpkin I‘m usually the opposite. I love the movie so much that I want to read the book. 🤷🏻‍♀️The pairing of screenwriter Crichton and director Spielberg is tough to beat. I do love the film, but the book gave it new insight. Yes, the loss of MC was a heartbreaker. 2d

MemoirsForMe @AmyG Me too! I‘m looking forward to seeing the new one. 2d

RosePressedPages Malcolm annoyed me so much lol 2d

AmyG @MemoirsForMe Me, too! 2d

MemoirsForMe @RosePressedPages I didn‘t think he could be more annoying in the book than in the movies. But he was! 😁 Hope he‘s not in the new movie. 🙄 2d

RosePressedPages @MemoirsForMe I kept thinking, now is really not the time to monologue about chaos theory for the 50th time 😭 2d

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet | Becky Chambers

I think we're in for a pretty massive storm tonight! I got the dogs all settled in, and now we're hunkering down in the bedroom with a good book and a bag of nerds clusters (bc why not 😂).

I'm a few chapters into this book and I'm really enjoying it. I LOVED Becky Chambers' novellas (Monk & Robot), and I'm hoping for some more of that contemplative world building with this series.

GingerAntics I LOVE nerds clusters! That is a great hunker downer snack! 3d

BarbaraJean Ohhhh, I love Becky Chambers and I love her Wayfarers series. Enjoy!! (And stay safe and cozy!) 3d

Scochrane26 One of my librarians loves Chambers & recommends this book a lot. 2d

TieDyeDude I have always had a problem with this site, even before the name change. I sign up for their newsletter, and I get it for a few weeks, then it stops. So frustrating because I love the site. Thanks for the info! 3d
