My March #BookSpinBingo list! @TheAromaofBooks
A couple of questions for any who have finished this month‘s #ClassicLSFBC pick.
If anyone would like to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know.
🐈⬛ Eet had more personality than the humans (“just so”) in the book. What did you think of Eet as a character and his relationship with Murdoc?

🐈⬛ This was full-on adventure SciFi with little to no underlying meaning or hidden agenda. I could totally see it published in a pulp serial of the past. Did you enjoy the plot?
Here are the choices for March's #ClassicLSFBC selection:
A Princess of Mars - Edgar Rice Burroughs
Childhood's End - Arthur C. Clarke
The Weapon Shops of Isher - A.E. van Vogt
The Eyes of Heisenberg - Frank Herbert
It's a very unusual and wide ranging selection. Voting is open from today until Sunday, to give people more time to chose. I'll announce the choice on Monday 03/03. As always, the book with the second most votes will be April's choice
I can't believe it's almost the March #BookSpin draw! New to the list this month are the tagged and Sabriel. So far, I've been keeping up with the BookSpin draw but haven't gotten around to the Doubles.
(1968) This is one of my favorite Nortons, so I was happy to read it again for #classiclsfbc . For me, this hits a sweet spot of straightforward adventure with some of Norton's favorite tropes but without her sometimes-excessively mannered prose style. Others in the group were underwhelmed, which is (sigh) but also fine: I've bounced off more than a few Nortons too, and what's a sweet spot for me won't be for others. Looking forward to next month!
Hey there!! Just checking in, I hope everyone found a copy of The Zero Stone and has enjoyed it. I'll be honest, I'm probably going to DNF it, I've been reading it all month, and it's just not working for me. I hope everyone else is having a better experience. Anyway, it's time to plan for March. We are open for nominations until the end of the month. As usual, most votes will be our March read, and the runner-up will be our choice for April.
This graphic novel adaptation of the groundbreaking, time travelling science-fiction classic, offers an unflinching look at slavery, violence, race and the role of women in society.
A visually stunning work for a new generation of readers to appreciate!

Didn‘t care for this one too much. It felt like information/storyline that was too much to add to either the first or third books so Herbert made it its own book. Or like an after thought to connect plot lines between books.
I‘m going to go on to book 3, so this one hasn‘t put me off the series 😊
I read a little more and, uh oh, I am in danger of loving Bobby aka Count Zero aka an idiot who just got his brain computer scrambled by maybe touching a vast, alien machine intelligence. Try not to pull your own face off, Bobby!
