Speed-dating from my backlog of titles from my Malaprops subscription to figure out what to bring with me on a trip - have you read any of these? #thintheherd

saresmoore I mean, Dance of the Jakaranda just seems like a good choice. 😏 8y

ReadingEnvy @saresmoore heh... it must be done. Plus one of my GoodReads groups is doing a buddy read of it for June. (edited) 8y

shawnmooney I am extremely interested in the Chung novel. Let me know what you think! 8y

Closed and Common Orbit | Becky Chambers

pick

I think I liked this one even better than the first book. Fewer characters, more focused. The child Jane who works repairing salvage for robots and the AI formerly known as AI have lives that intertwine. #readyourowndamnbooks #thintheherd

AmandaL I just requested the first book from the library. Glad to hear you like this one even better. 8y

Robothugs What is the first book called? 8y

saresmoore @Robothugs The first book is

saresmoore I think I liked it better than the first, too. It has proven to have some staying power in my mind, anyway. 8y

ReadingEnvy @AmandaL I hope you like it! She's had some push back lately from the Sad Puppy contingent so I moved it up in my pile. 8y

ReadingEnvy @saresmoore yessss 8y

Robothugs Thank you :) 8y

ReadingEnvy @Robothugs I'd be interested in knowing what you think! 8y

LazyOwl Great book 8y

Robothugs When I read it, I'll let you know! 8y

The Fall Guy: A Novel | James Lasdun

pan

One of my pile up from BOTM picks, this was a lackluster book with parts that never really cohere. The writing sparkles the most when Lasdun describes the meals created by Matthew, but his passion dies when trying to build an argument for obsession or tension. #readyourowndamnbooks #thintheherd #bookofthemonth #botm

Mccall0113 Review was spot on 8y

ReadingEnvy @Mccall0113 I still finished it so I guess that's something? 8y

britt_brooke I read maybe one chapter and put it aside for another time. Then, I decided to sell it to a used book store. Looks like I made a good decision. 😜 8y

NerdyRev Spot on. It was rough 8y

ReadingEnvy @britt_brooke I think my original thought was to hang on to my botm titles but I'm realizing I already broke that rule in giving away two books... So this will be one more to trade in or donate. 8y

ReadingEnvy @NerdyRev yeah not just the reasons I mentioned but some big pacing issues i think. Once I had to go back because o thought I'd missed something but no. 8y
