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. 2w

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. 2w

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! 😊 2w

willaful And usually used incorrectly. 😒 2w

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. 2w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just noticed this free short story from the Legends & Lattes series! Set before the first book, it‘s about a quest Viv is on to capture Bodkin and retrieve stolen documents.

bailed

Sadly, my first DNF for 2025 is also #ClassicLSFBC selection for February. I tried to get into it, but it just wasn't for me. I've read and enjoyed several of Andre Norton's novels & short stories, but this one I'll have to bail on.

Aims42 You did amazing for making it to the end of February before bailing on a book 👏👏👏 #HailtheBail 🚀 3mo

The Zero Stone | Andre Norton

A couple of questions for any who have finished this month‘s #ClassicLSFBC pick.

If anyone would like to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know.

🐈‍⬛ Eet had more personality than the humans (“just so”) in the book. What did you think of Eet as a character and his relationship with Murdoc?

CatLass007 I have gone as far as buying a paperback copy of the book. This is the cover. But since I find it very difficult to focus on print books and reading print causes eye strain, I haven‘t even started it yet. I must say the cat on the cover is a winner. 3mo

Ruthiella @CatLass007 Yes, the cat on the cover is adorable. 😻 Does your library have access to Hoopla? That‘s how I listened to it. Also, Eet as described isn‘t as cute physically as a cat, but it definitely has a cat like personality…arrogance! 😹 (edited) 3mo

CatLass007 My library offers both LIBBY and HOOPLA. But just as every library has different content inside the building, every library offers different content through the apps. I‘ve never considered my cat to be arrogant. They‘re just my little love bugs. They do have some issues with one another, but arrogance isn‘t one of them, it‘s all about who‘s the top cat. A hierarchy is very cat like. 3mo

swynn I like Eet. Norton loves her cats and her cat-creatures, and I think that affection shines through. 3mo

Ruthiella @swynn I didn‘t know but I suspected the author was a cat lover based on Eet‘s portrayal. 😸 I liked also how Murdoc begrudgingly trusted Eet and recognized Eet‘s superior instincts. (edited) 3mo
