48/100 You know you're reading a gifted writer, when he/she can take the daftiest idea possible, and turn it into a fun and enjoyable story. While not as funny as say Starter Villain, it made me smile and chuckle often. I enjoyed the various POVs, how the average person was effected by the change in the moon, along with the rich and the powerful people in government. I don't think sweet is the word I'd use but it's more lightly amusing ⬇️

RamsFan1963 than laugh out loud funny. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 #Read2025 10h

4.5/5

The perspective of a livesuit solider, on the other side of an endless and timeless war.

I'm really enjoying this series. There are definitely a lot of horror elements to the series and the aliens.

Der Riss: Hard Science Fiction | Brandon Q. Morris

Not the tagged book, but the newest one by the same author.

Whenever I start a book by Brandon Q. Morris I think I might have had enough of his works. And whenever I continue reading his books, he gets me hooked.

Happened here as well. The characters are all 50+, which I think is a fresh idea to the usual trope of sending teenagers into space 😉

Also loved Number 4, such a cute and lovable... well, robot? AI? Whatever, it's cute and adorable.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 29m
DogMomIrene The cover pulls me right in! 19m

Nice wraparound cover (which I downloaded: I wouldn't flatten my own book like this 😱) illustrating one of the scenes from the novel.
Williams wrote this 1977 novelisation of a film that was never made, and I wonder just how bad the SFX would have been 🐜😳🦂
The story is a good B(ee)-Movie creature feature that's entertaining enough that I'm glad I got the sequels, which I'll read later in the summer, probably. 3½🐝

Oh, this book put me in an ethical turmoil, because I didn't know what to think about it. But more and more I saw it as a What If. What if women acted like men and treated them likewise? This made the whole experience very interesting. We learn some new very interesting facts, people get eaten and I wanted to hit a specific character with his own book.

1) Definitely sitting down
2) The tagged book & Fortress of Solitude by Lethem. I really like both of them, but feel like I have been reading them for eons,
@thespineview #two4tuesday

TheSpineView I am interested in read your review of 5d
vivastory @TheSpineView I have only read one Lethem, years ago but still think of it from time to time. I will def be doing a review of this one. I think part of my issue with FOS is that I feel like I need a soft cover copy that I engage with & mark all the brilliant descriptive passages rather than the hardcover library edition I'm currently reading. Will probably order one today. 5d
TheSpineView @vivastory I'll look for your review. Can't bring myself to mark up books. I got a Kindle Scribe for Christmas just so I could take notes. 5d

This was a book I picked mostly bc I liked the cover and I was having a weak moment in a bookstore. Robots, AI, and some complicated sibling relationships. I didn‘t find it particularly novel and the first half dragged on for me. Generally not my sort of book.

sarahbarnes I do like the cover. 5d
