Planet of Twilight: Star Wars Legends | Barbara Hambly

pan

Last few Star Wars books have been the same damn plot--kidnap, rescue, lots of close calls. It's been like reading a season of The A-Team.

50/80

Hello everyone!! I'm sorry I'm late with the selections for August #ClassicLSFBC. I hope everyone enjoyed Lord of Light for July, and is ready for something new in August. Nominations are open, and we'll do as usual, the one with the most votes will be August's selection, runner-up will be the September selection. I will start the nominations with Software by Rudy Rucker.

The Day of the Triffids | John Wyndham

Before I went to donate blood, I had a browse in a charity bookshop, and I was going to say I hadn't intended to buy anything, which is a flat out lie as I went out of my way to visit! 😁
To be fair to myself, I hadn't intended to make such a large #BookHaul but 13 books for 13 bucks (well, quid)! What could I do? 🤷‍♂️ I'm only human! 😏📚
I'm particularly pleased with the Wyndham🐧s and the Stoker 😀

Soubhiville Great haul! 2d

Luke-XVX That‘s the edition of Day of the Triffids I grew up reading. Handed down from my dad, still have it somewhere 2d

Bookwomble @Luke-XVX It's the one I read from the school library, my own copy being a more recent edition. Nice to get my hands on the OG 😀 Also nice that you have your dad's copy 😊 2d

Luke-XVX Indeed! 1d

Luke-XVX I aim to reread The Chrysalids soon, another huge impact on pre-teen me and I‘d like to get a copy of The Secret People 1d

Leftcoastzen I could never go to a bookstore with you , we would be fighting over some of the same books!😂 1d

Bookwomble @Luke-XVX I've got the Chrysalids but haven't read it yet 😏📚 Thanks for the recommendation 😊 What was it that struck you about it? 1d

Bookwomble @Leftcoastzen You'd definitely win! Niles Crane used to steal my dinner money! 😆 1d

AnnCrystal 📚👏🏼🥳💫. 1d

The_Book_Ninja Great work! 19h

Luke-XVX I think because of the coming of age theme, my own age and the mutations in the story struck a nerve because I was getting into the X-Men/X-Force at the time so it was relative 14h

Lord of Light | Roger Zelazny

I'm starting a bit late in the month for July's #ClassicLSFBC pick, but I think I should finish it before August.
I've had this book since 1980 and have started and not finished it three times, but I've kept it as Zelazny is one of my favourite authors. Hopefully, fourth time's a charm! 🍀
@RamsFan1963

RamsFan1963 I hope to finish it tonight, about 80 pages to go. I enjoyed the reread after about 12 years, it gave me a new perspective on the book 1d

Bookwomble @RamsFan1963 It's encouraging that you've enjoyed it both times around. I'm 40 pages in, which is further than I've got before, and I think I'm engaged this time 19h

Death of the Author: A Novel | Nnedi Okorafor

pick

I usually take the dust jacket off while reading a book. This novel made me glad of that habit. Such a cool second cover. I enjoyed this one quite a bit, really glad it was chosen for #CampLitsy25

The Algebraist | Iain M. Banks

pick

This is the first Banks book I‘ve read, and I am really glad I started with it. I didn‘t have to commit to the entire Culture series, but The Algebraist did give me a (prolonged, 500+ page) taste of his writing style, character arcs, world building etc.

Starter Villain | John Scalzi

pick

4 Stars • Charlie Fitzer, a down-on-his-luck divorcee, inherits his uncle‘s supervillain empire—volcano lair, talking cats, and all. Thrust into a world of assassination attempts and rival villains, he scrambles to run the show with help from his uncle‘s sharp assistant and sassy felines. Scalzi‘s sci-fi comedy delivers a hilarious, chaotic ride, poking fun at power trips and corporate absurdity.

#StarterVillain #JohnScalzi #Bookish

Sace This was such an entertaining book! I can see myself reading this more than once. 3d

suvata @Sace totally 3d
