I haven't read a Scalzi that didn't make me cackle with laughter and this was no exception! I really love the character of the bumbling new manager who's in over his head. The cats and the dolphins were of course wonderful but I loved the mystery and spy novel of it all as well.
I'm glad #AuthorAMonth made me finally listen to this one, I've had it for a while. Plus Wil Wheaton's narration was the cherry on top! #AAM @Soubhiville

Texreader Yay!! So glad it was a hit with you!! 2d
BethM I need to read more Scalzi. What I‘ve read I‘ve enjoyed. 2d

4.5/5 ⭐️
I loved this! I was especially grateful for the Hera story at the end. I also adored the dolphins, despite their salty personalities 🤣

Another #authoramonth success story.

mcctrish I loved this 2d
Sace @mcctrish Me too! It‘s one I will probably reread at some point. 17h

Batman and the Mad Monk | Matt Wagner, Rob Leigh

This is a Batman at the start of his career story.

It follows on from another story but works as a standalone.

I was surprised by this one as it had a vampire theme to it and was surprisingly violent.

It's a Batman battles a vampire cult story, and I enjoyed it a lot.

I haven't laughed so much at a book for the longest time. I'm really enjoying it so much. It's a bit scary as it's playing out like one of my many bizarre dreams. The cats are ace!!
This is why I love #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville ❤️📚❤️ I would not have picked this author as a priority tbr, but I'm so glad to be introduced to his work.

Sace Yes! I love the cats. I love the dolphins too (I‘m only about halfway through). 3d
AllDebooks @Sace the dolphins are hilarious 😂 2d
Sace I kind of hate to admit it but I sort of have a dolphin personality 😂 2d
AllDebooks @Sace 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 2d

In a world where so many serious things are happening it was perfectly timed that #AuthorAMonth brought me this book where very weird things are taken completely seriously. I loved the cats. I loved the dolphins. I loved the audiobook narration too.

Lesliereadsalot I love John Scalzi! 3d
Texreader I agree! Fun book!! 3d

Jean Grey: Flames Of Fear | Louise Simonson

In this mini-series, comics veteran Louise Simonson takes us on a whirlwind tour of Jean Grey's most pivotal decisions. What if Jean had acted differently? This was really fun and you can read it even if you aren't caught up on X-Men.

#Read2025

I‘m so behind on my reviews—I finished this a couple of weeks ago for #AuthorAMonth June & I really enjoyed it. The pace, the humor, the cats & really the whole fantastical & fun story. This is my first John Scalzi & I would definitely read more. I‘d love another one set in this world that continues on with some of the secondary characters.

DieAReader 😼Great job! 4d
AmyG This was so different than what I usually read…yet, I loved it. 4d

Batgirl: Silent Running | Scott Peterson
Mehso-so

I thought I'd reread this since I liked the *idea* of Cassandra Cain. I feel her Batgirl design is unsexualised and batlike in a pretty neat way, but I don't love a lot of the art in this one, and it's hard to fully follow without context.
