Really enjoyed book 4 in the Lady Astronaut series. A base on Mars has been established and the first "Martians" have moved in. Among the usual problems of working in an uninhabitable environment the members of the first Mars mission, to establish the base, are keeping a secret.
Another strong entry in this series. Gender, race, but also culture and religion, as well as body autonomy play just as much a role ⬇️⬇️
pickRandomly saw it on Fable and became interested. So I kinda went in blind. Not a bad read, not world altering. I liked the creative essence of the story. Demons who feed off of hate possess Ku Klux Kln members when the movie Birth of a Country rolls out. So Maryse goes out to hunt them. The switch she takes near the end was nicely explained. Not much felt like it could‘ve been expanded on. Little here and there. Not scary horror; grotesque.
Every Thursday I will be posting about a book, or short story, I love that I have either never posted about or have not posted about in a long time. For my first entry for #ThorsDayRec is Stålenhag's sui generis work Tales From The Loop. I have seen this categorized under: Graphic Novel, Sci-Fi, Art Books, Fiction. Set in the 80s, TFL tells of a town with both decommissioned & sentient machines. There's a meandering narrative woven into (cont)
panI dnf this book. I got 20% and I felt like I was going into a reading slump. I won't rate this book.
As Teddy stood, and the opening notes of the national anthem reverberated through the throne room, Beatrice realized what it meant.
The reign of America‘s first queen had officially begun, at last.

Nina hurried down the last few steps, then glanced over her shoulder. “I don‘t know what‘s going to happen. But when it‘s all over and the dust has settled, this country will never be the same again.”

She was going to make a balcony appearance—to step out into the warm June night, alone.
“Most of all,” she told him, “I am going to be the queen.”

pickFinished this yesterday while I was out and trying not to lose my mind.
I liked the twist to history and WWI. I like that the MC is a man in a traditionally women‘s space and that he is forced to prove himself constantly. Which he does every time.
The writing is good, the characters are good, the story is good.
Worth the time.
pickI had a good time with this book. This book takes place in Macon, Georgia (where I currently live). It was fun being able to visualize the neighborhoods and streets that were mentioned. The story is original, I love the mix of historical fiction and fantasy. And it‘s always great seeing racist people/monsters get their butts kicked. I loved the ending and decision making. The only reason I didn‘t give it five stars was because of the slow middle.
I seriously hope this wasn't the last book in the series. 3d
