I‘m VERY late to the party for this #LSFBC #LitsySciFiBookclub and May #bookspin pick.
It took me three tries and several weeks to get past page 100. I almost dnf‘d this one. I‘m so glad I didn‘t. Once it clicked for me I really enjoyed it.

Reading and crochet update. Here are my books and granny squares from January to May.
They need to be blocked, and then I'll start joining them all together.

Cold Eternity | S.A. Barnes

I look forward to every S.A. Barnes book. It‘s how I discovered sci-fi space horror and I‘m all in.
They are just so much fun. I should have tried them sooner as I‘m a big space monster movie fan.
This was a lot of fun; quite the ride. Perfect? No. But FUN. If anyone has any recs on books like this, please let me know below.
For those who have read this, I have a question in the comments.

MaleficentBookDragon What was with the damn button?!?! Was it just to wear her down mentally and physically? I also wanted more of Karl. He died too fast. 2mo
candc320 I thought the same thing about the button! I think it was just a way to get people to the ship to do the “job” and then they have to walk around and be vulnerable for the monster. Also, I assumed Karl would actually be an AI or just not on the ship, so I was a little disappointed he was just working for Zane. 2mo
MaleficentBookDragon @candc320 I was thinking Karl was going to be some Frankenstein type doctor using the bodies in the tanks to make a monster or something. I wanted more of him and from him. I also really thought Niina was going to get away somehow and show up at the end. She would be an amazing villain in a second book. The end seemed rushed when we finally got there. I still loved this one though. 2mo

candc320 I agree completely! 2mo
Kitta I was just thinking about your book blanket haha 2mo
RosePressedPages I definitely agree! I wish the suspense and dread had been built up a little more too. Once the big reveal happened, there wasn‘t very much time spent really fleshing it out. Sometimes I feel like Barnes shies away from committing to the horror she creates but I did think this one was very fun. Some space horrors I‘ve found so far are Paradise-1, Scourge Between Stars, Salvation Day, Contagion, We Have Always Been Here, and Ship of Fools. (edited) 2mo
MaleficentBookDragon @RosePressedPages Thank you! I'm going to check those out. 2mo

I did (another) reread of this before I watch the show. I hope it‘s not disappointing. 🤖 🤞#bookblanket #readingblanket2025

ChaoticMissAdventures Excited to hear what you think about the show! It has been about a year since I have read a murderbot book but I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes! 2mo

This was a super cute, quick and fun read.
My only complaint is the overuse of eye rolling 🙄 mentioned every other paragraph for a bit. It was noticeable enough it actually took me out of the story.
I wish more of the old gang were in it, but it would have gotten too crowded; and the new characters were great.
I recommend this, especially if you liked the first one. #bookcover #grannysquare #readingblanket2025 #bookblanket

Caterina I'm so intrigued by your granny square reading blanket, but it sounds dangerously tempting - I'd need quite the array of yarn to try it out, and I already have too much! 🫣 I hope you post a finished pic at the end of the year! 2mo

I really enjoyed this book. The picture puzzles were intriguing & the twists compelling. I would have finished it in one go if I didn‘t have to work. 😁 I hate to use the word “fun” because there are some really bleak moments in this book, but it WAS fun to read.
Didn‘t have the perfect green, and it was a lighter weight so I added an additional round, but I still like this #grannysquare #bookblanket #readingblanket2025 #doublespin

This was much better than I thought it was going to be. I actually laughed out loud (the Barbara clinic scene) in front of the #manpanion, my sister & her husband (they were watching the football draft so I was reading). I liked the crocheting in it. Here‘s another square. #bookblanket #readingblanket2025
As another said, it got repetitive & I did skim a little at times.
No desire to read the first 2 books, but this one was a pleasant surprise.
