Old Man's War | John Scalzi

John Perry joins the army when he turns 75. His desire to move on from the memories of his wife result in him joining the long, bloody fight to expand & protect humanity‘s place in space.

I can see why people like this. John is fun, the humor is on point, & the world building is amazing. But 300 pages of stop/go action, w/ everything going down in the last 50 pages + a last minute romance makes this more of a miss for me.🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑

I had high hopes for this one. Honestly I find this author's books to be misses in the series. So much potential to finally get the scoop on the emperor but he almost seems like a secondary character in this book. Also not a fan of this author's writing style.

Giving this a go after playing some Space Marine 2. Really want to dig into some Warhammer 40k lore. Enjoying it so far.

Such a fun series. This is a re-read so I can get back to the series. I adore Skippy.

At first, I thought I might get a little tired of this series. Tbh, the books are all kind of the same - Fast Food in book form 😄 But then Felicia appeared and I was hooked. I hope there'll be more books with her. And yes, I would read a whole spin-off series about her! Cain is Cain, as always, and once again, I enjoyed Jurgen and the dynamics between them. Fun and fast paced.

Well, July was another busy month and I only finished one of my #ReadYourKindle picks. August looks maybe even busier, but I'm joining in anyway. Here's my list of roughly-random unread Kindle books for August.
