All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1) | Martha Wells

so-so

While I enjoyed this story it didn‘t quite scratch the same itch that Mickey7 did. While a quick, short read overall the individual chapters were actually quite long (only 10 in the whole story). The main character - murderbot - didn‘t really show any emotions at all, which on one hand I get, but on the other it made it hard to care about the story overall. Will I continue the series? Most likely yes, at least the next one! 🌟🌟🌟💫

I Know This Much Is True | Wally Lamb

pick

897 pages later, and I am a better person for it. Masterful, brilliant, heart wrenching, full of anger and sadness and wit and humor. I absolutely loved it. And yep, I know this much is true 😉
(Side note: Wally Lamb lists Mrs. Piggle Wiggle as the first book he read that inspired his writing life. I LOVED Mrs. PW 😊♥️).

Ruthiella I too adored Mrs. Piggle Wiggle as a child. I re-read them a few years ago and still found them delightful. ❤️ 5d

AmyG I love Mrs Piggle Wiggle! My Mom used to read those to me. 5d

CBee @Ruthiella @AmyG ♥️♥️♥️ I might need to find them and read them again! 5d

The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings | J.R.R. Tolkien

pick

Another great #TBRtarot pick! I still can‘t believe I never read these! I love all things Fantasy so I know it is a must! I absolutely adored this one and can‘t wait to dive into the next one! I found myself picturing the cast from the movie the whole time reading it though-is that normal? 😂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CBee

AnnCrystal Totally normal...if there's no movie, then I select my own cast for the characters 😉👍🏼📚🎬💝...I really must read these books one day. 2w

CBee I read it way before the movies came out but I admit I would‘ve loved to have faces to put to the characters 😊 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I definitely have the last couple times I reread this series! I love both the books and the movies so much. 💕 2w

Hidden Figures: The Story of the African-American Women Who Helped Win the Space Race | Margot Lee Shetterly

I had a few choices on my shelves but ultimately decided on this one. When I‘ve finished reading it, I‘ll probably watch the movie.

MatchlessMarie You know what‘s funny I was just thinking about a book that has been languishing on my TBR and was like hmm I wonder if they ever made that into a series so I can purpose that book for this prompt and… it turns out that they did and I‘ve been living under a rock I guess 😂

Dark Matter

OriginalCyn620 @MatchlessMarie I loved Dark Matter, the book! I watched the series too, but it had been a long time after I read the book, but from what I can remember, they stuck pretty close to the book. Hope you enjoy! 3w

OriginalCyn620 @cbee Glad to help! ☺️ And I already have one ready to go again…I‘ve seen the adaptation with Mr. Harry Styles, so now I‘ll read the book!

CBee @MatchlessMarie oh yay! Love it when things work out like that 😊 3w

CBee @OriginalCyn620 😊😊😊 3w

Meshell1313 Ooh good one! I never read The Lord of the Rings series so I‘m starting that one. So I‘ll do

The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings

Ruthiella The first book in the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy was adapted for Norwegian television in the‘90s and I will be reading it in June for #KLBR ! Perfect timing.

The Bridal Wreath: Kristin Lavransdatter, Vol.1

CBee @Meshell1313 okay, I am seriously jealous that you‘ll be reading that for the first time!! Enjoy!! ♥️♥️♥️ 3w

CBee @OriginalCyn620 awesome! 3w

CBee @Ruthiella hooray! 3w

candc320 Great prompt! I‘m going with

All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1)

CBee @candc320 I ♥️ Murderbot! Hoping to watch the series soon 🤞🏻 3w

willaful I'm reading Wives and Daughters with the #HashtagBrigade. 3w

CatLass007 @candc320 I ❤️ Murderbot also! Fugitive Telemetry, Book 6 in Martha Wells‘s series is warming up in the bullpen so I‘ll use it in response to this prompt. Or maybe I‘ll read Louise Penny‘s A Better Man, Book 15 in her Armand Gamache/Three Pines. I saw the TV movie based on the first book in the series, which was better than okay. I haven‘t seen the failed TV series mostly because, while I admire Alfred Molina‘s skills as an actor, I think (cont)⬇️ 3w

AmyG I need something mindless so I am going to read It Emds With Us. 3w

CatLass007 he was miscast as Gamache. Or maybe I‘ll read both. I am so far behind on my challenges and buddy reads that I don‘t know if I‘ll ever catch up. I‘m pretty much taking the month off from buddy reads and I think that will help me a lot. Feeling pressured to read steals my joy, although no one but me is putting on any pressure. 3w

CatLass007 @AmyG Please let me know what you think. It‘s available to me if I want it, I just don‘t know if I want it. 3w

willaful @CatLass007 I thought Malina was a good Gamache but literally everyone else was wrong. 😂 It didn't catch the vibe of the books at all. 3w

CatLass007 @willaful it played on Amazon Prime Video, right? I haven‘t had that for a while so there‘s another good reason that I didn‘t watch it. But I found out that I qualify for something called prime access so instead of paying $14.99 per month I pay $6.99 per month plus tax. So I have been 12 months without prime video and I signed up for the free trial and will pay at the end of June for the first month. 3w

AmyG @CatLass007 I‘ll let you know. Hoping it‘s decent. 3w

CatLass007 @AmyG Thanks! Enjoy!! 3w

Meshell1313 @CBee I know! I read soooo much fantasy that it‘s just wrong I haven‘t read the ones that arguably started it all! Excited for this journey! 3w

AshleyHoss820 Ooo! This one will be fun! 3w

CBee @AmyG I actually liked that one. It‘s not so mindless though, fyi - a few triggers. 3w

CBee @Meshell1313 and what a journey it is! Enjoy 😊 3w

CBee @willaful I liked Molina as Gamache as well. But, didn‘t continue with the series because it just was so off. Love the books so much! 3w

julieclair I‘ll be reading

What I Ate in One Year | STANLEY. TUCCI

pick

This was my #TBRTarot Reader‘s Choice prompt for May - a book “delivered later” more than 3 times. I delivered this one later 13 times.. I originally meant to read it in January. 🙃 I love hearing him talk about food and the relatable struggle with picky eaters. Also there are some delightfully unhinged remarks about his wife which if you don‘t know his humor might be concerning to some readers. 😂

CBee

CBee Great idea for a prompt!! Love Stanley Tucci ♥️ 3w
