It‘s been a long time since I read this; my copy has the original white cover with fire partially covering a little girl‘s face. As with most King books for #LosersClub, if I‘ve read it in print before, I‘m using the audio for this reread. So far I‘m liking the narrator. #audiowalk
pickTwo immortal assassins from a dystopian future are trapped in endless battle. Each time one of them kills someone, they are transported together to a different time and place. Can they put aside their differences long enough to save humanity, or will their violent nature lock them in a cyclical pattern of death? Lee Bermejo is possible my favorite artist working today, and he gets to flex some serious skill in this wild, stimulating thriller.
pickI loved this. Funny and sarcastic and the plot flew. I didn‘t want it to end. I can totally see this being a hilarious TV show. 🐈🐬 #AuthorAMonth
I‘m working my way through a really lovely anthology of queer SFF stories, all of which feature plants in one way or another. Take particular note if you‘re doing an alphabet challenge and you still need an X title!

And so it begins. Someday I will move. I hope. The hottest day ever recorded here was 122ºF (50ºC). This Saturday we'll be about 10 degrees away from that. And it's only June. And not even officially summer. Counting the days until fall. 🍁
But it's a dry heat!

simply can't say that. 🔥

so-soHonestly I got this book because of #CoverLove
But I found the story lacking. It reads like a YA, the characters feel childish and absolutely nothing happens for the biggest part of the book.

pickIrl grp last night had an Orwell themed chat about Wifedom + this excellent retelling of 1984 from the perspective of Julia. We discover about a childhood in which she betrays her patents, her work in the ministry, and Obriens recruitment of her to use sex to reveal male enemies of big brother. If the world wasn't increasingly resembling the dystopian society imagined 70 years ago, this would have been a fun read, but today, it felt disturbing.
pickWow, so well done! It is bleak, mysterious, emotional, and compelling. It's feels relevant yet timeless. This novel is little, but it packs a punch on every page. It will haunt me. #Shesaid @Riveted_Reader_Melissa
