Friday | Robert Anson Heinlein

1. The Fault In Our Stars - John Green

2. Her Mad Hatter by Marie Hall. This is an Alice In Wonderland retelling. This is the first book in a series called Kingdom. It‘s a series of fairytale retellings. I‘ve enjoyed what I‘ve read from the series so far. She has written more in the series since then. I want to read the other books. I like fairytales and fairytale retellings. They‘re magical and a happy ending is guaranteed.

Pickpick

Low pick because I bounced hard off the physical copy with the weird pidgin talk writing BUT the audio was perfect because you didn't have to figure out how the words worked you just heard them as they should sound. It was a little bit misogynistic and overtly libertarian but there were still a lot of interesting ideas being floated around.

Mehso-so

An old fashioned rollicking space adventure with twists that have been rehashed both before and after this plot line. Classic Sci-fi feels fragile like bakelite, is rife with no-dos and wince material, but there was enough fun here to warrant the listen.

Ugh! Strange syntax by our hero, characters in blackface, endless and confusing descriptions about sleeper cells, the inner workings of Luna and a computer named Mike, all of which leads up to a revolution which I assume happens. Made it to 40%, but just didn't care enough to find out if they were successful or not. I guess this reader is a harsh reviewer.

The worst reading week of the year so far due to unexpected curveballs at work. 3 books finished, plus the tagged short story which I will need to read again. The wikipedia page for it includes a chart, lol. 3 books in progress (Born a Crime on audio, Dirda's Readings & Stewart's Wicked Plants.) Of the completed books the standout was Lichtenberg's The Waste Books w/ Zambreno's Bonsai a second.

BkClubCare Work. A 4 letter word. Sigh 1y
vivastory @BkClubCare It really cramps my reading 📚📚 1y
Cinfhen I love a good chart / thanks Wikipedia…who knew!?? Will check next time im in need 😊 1y
Reggie Hope work gets better man. Tonight we had drawings and uh this lady complained to me about how the same people get called. Which is true. But THEN she said, and I wished they called more American names. Lol, I opened my mouth to speak but was so overwhelmed by the racism that I just walked away. 1y
vivastory @Cinfhen I'm always a bit sceptical of biographical info on Wikipedia as false info can sit on a page for awhile before being corrected, but I find it useful for plot summary 1y
vivastory @Reggie Ugh, it's probably good you didn't respond. People who would say something like that are beyond reason. She probably thinks your casino is owned by Dominion Voting lol 1y
