pickIf you hate to laugh and think humanity is great, do NOT read this #hugo2019 nominated book. If you want a story about Galactic music concert reality show being the only way to save Earth that is full of humanity-depreciating jokes and brilliantly diverse aliens, read this book. The photo is of the Flaming Lips‘ Wayne Coyne. Thank you Catherynne M Valente....Thank you.
That‘s gonna be tough.... I‘m going to root for Murderbot though...cuz Murderbot! 💕

I managed only 8 hours and 35 minutes for the #24B4Monday #readathon this time around, but I succeeded in getting through more of my Hugo Voter Packet.
The Hugo Best Graphic Work category had excellent entries, including the latest volume of Paper Girls. This terrific series is like Stranger Things with time travel! #hugo2019
Thanks to @Andrew65, @TheReadingMermaid and @jb72 for hosting the readathon!
Working on the last novel I need to read in order to vote on best novel for Hugo Awards. Wasn‘t a fan of the first book in the series but really enjoyed the second and this one has also captured my attention. Voting may be harder than I originally thought. #hugo2019
I've only been able to read 4 hours and 40 minutes so far for the #24B4Monday readathon, but I did finish my last book from the 2019 Hugo Best Novel shortlist. This one is a lot of fun, in the style of Douglas Adams.

It's been a very busy July so far, so it will be good to have a relaxing weekend devoted to reading! It'll be my last chance to read from the #hugo2019 shortlist before the Hugo Awards voting deadline on July 31.

Enjoying the 2nd in the series much more than Ninefox Gambit. Working my way towards Revenant Gun which is nominated for #hugo2019 best novel.
Really enjoyed this alternate history of the beginnings of the space program, in this telling expedited because of a meteorite strike in the DC area that is an extinction event. Deals with discrimination (gender and racial) in the space program and the role of female “computer” mathematicians in making spaceflight possible. #hugo2019
Finished. Two more to go so that I can vote for #hugo2019 best novel. I liked this one...but feel like I‘d need to read a few more times to get everything out of it.
One of my favorite first sentences in a very long time! 4th out of 6 books I need to complete to vote in #hugo2019
