pickI did it! I started this trilogy in 2016 and completely stalled on reading the third one. But this month I re-read the first two and FINALLY read the third book and it was great. Some complain about all the emoting that happens, but I loved it. I love that it is open ended. That no one has all the answers, least of all Breq. I love her platonic relationship with Seivarden and her parental one with Tisarwat. Great space opera. 🚀❤️ #SeriesLove24

pickChapterhouse dune feels very different but still like a proper Dune book. I felt like nothing was happening and at the same time as if I was bombarded by concepts, ideas and quotes. There is a lot to like and a lot feels unnecessary or disjointed. Overall I still enjoyed it a lot. Check out our discussion about on on ep.68 of the Mind Duck Books podcast: https://bit.ly/44hLdX6

My #IndependentBookstoreDay book haul!
5 bookshops in 5.6 hrs, 7 books, & 11k+ steps = 1 fantastic day!
I‘ve posted links to all 5 bookstores on my blog, wanderinglynn.com
First stop on #IndependentBookstoreDay : Capitol Hill Books in Eastern Market.
I love used books. I could have spent the whole day here just browsing. But the day is short & I have a list of bookshops to get to! Next stop, just down the street, East City Bookshop!

“The rest of us keep pretending we‘re happy or else just go numb. We suffer, but not enough. And so we suffer for nothing.”
pickCan‘t believe I hadn‘t read this ever- certainly extended moments of brilliance and far more profound than I had expected. Be warned this is not like either movie- but more of a third very good option. The PKD fan within is sated.
pickWhen a body is uncovered during construction work in Mars' Sahara Dome, it provokes a crisis in Human-Disty relations which can only be solved by finding out who died and why.
I liked that the author's aliens really are aliens, part of cultures which are logical on their own terms but which we can't really understand. However, there were lots of references to earlier events in Flint's and DeRicci's careers only some of which I recognised.
