#20in4

Where has this month gone?!? My goals for #20in4 are to start the tagged for #scifibookclub and finish Rosalie Palmer.

MissyD So what is #20in4? 16h
wanderinglynn @MissyD it‘s a readathon that @Andrew65 hosts the last weekend of the month. The goal is to read 20 in 4 days. It could be 20 chapters, 20 hours, 20 minutes per day, 20 pages per day. Whatever works for you. 14h
MissyD @wanderinglynn sweet. Thanks for explaining. Off to do some reading. 14h

Recursion | Blake Crouch

Pickpick

I just realized the puzzle I finished today is the same color as the book!

This was one of my 12/12/12 challenge. Huge thanks to Rae for recommending Recursion. What a wild, trippy ride! I started it & couldn‘t put it down. This was my first Blake Crouch book, but now I‘m going to go check out his other books.

TheSpineView Love when things match. 💛 Enjoyed Upgrade by Blake Crouch. 17h
wanderinglynn @TheSpineView I‘ll definitely pick that one up! 👍🏻 17h

#wondrouswednesday

1. Waking up hearing the ocean, an early morning g walk on the beach, time to read/craft/puzzle, enjoy some delicious foods, tea time, maybe a nap, some yoga, enjoying animal companions, a moonlight walk on the beach, sitting & enjoying the peace of the ocean.

2/3. I‘m sure there are some I need to break and some I should start. But I am who I am, bad habits and all, and I‘m pretty happy with myself as is.

Eggs Lovely ideal day 👌🏼👌🏼 Thanks for joining in 🥰 2d

You find yourself in a House Of Hollow. Standing in a hallway filled with dust and cobwebs, you close your eyes & tell yourself that None Of This Is True. But opening your eyes, you find you‘re still #trappedinaspookyhouse. You enter the library & look out a dirty window but can‘t see What Lies In The Woods. For Your Own Good, you decide to wait there. On a table, you find a stack of books that you hope will help you Stay Awake until help arrives.

Mehso-so

On GR, I gave it 4 stars because I love Mercy's world but in reality, 3 stars because it's disappointing in art & storytelling. The art is uneven with Mercy looking like a brunette Barbie in one scene & more muscular (less boobs) in the next.

I found a lack of continuity from the series, which was disappointing especially given that PB is list as an author. Also, I‘m not sure this would be enjoyable if you weren‘t familiar with the series.

#HauntedHollowSwap

A friendly reminder: I do track the mailing & receiving of packages because I want to make sure everyone gets a package. That‘s what makes a fun swap!

So please remember to tag me on your photos so I can mark you as package sent + package received.

Also, I know that life happens & if you have a life happening that will impact sending your #HHS package, please email me ASAP so I can make alternate arrangements for your match.

I finally broke down and bought a (refurbished) kindle paperwhite. Several years ago I tried the Fire but didn‘t care for it. Reading in my phone isn‘t ideal and I have several trips planned where taking physical books won‘t really be possible. So far, I like it—it‘s super lightweight and the screen is easy to read. 👍🏻

TheSpineView I love my paper white. I have a Kobo e-reader too and like it. That looks like a newer model. I hope you enjoy! 2w
wanderinglynn @TheSpineView thanks! I think it‘s last year‘s model. 2w
MissyD I have my iPad. And I used to read from it. (And still do if the book I want isn‘t available on the Libby app at the library). But we have started traveling more and the iPad is bulky and heavy when I add it to my backpack or purse. So my husband bought my kindle paper white. And I love it. More than my iPad 2w

Larkken I love my kindle and have only recently been getting back into paper books. It was a shock the first time I tried to hold a chunkster over my head to read it - the kindle had me all spoiled! I hope you keep on liking it after your trip :) 2w
wanderinglynn @MissyD yeah, I can see that an iPad would be too big and bulky compared to a kindle. And I didn‘t need all that extra functionality. I think I‘m going to like the kindle. 2w
wanderinglynn @Larkken I admit that I prefer physical books. There‘s just something about holding a book. But the kindle certainly is convenient for travel! 2w
wanderinglynn @LocalTXLibrarian thanks! I‘ll definitely like it when I travel. 2w
Birdsong28 Love my paperwhite as I was reading on a kindle fire for a while and it was just too big and bright so I got one in 2020 and it has made me want to read kindle books on it more often. As I didn't look forward to reading on my kindle fire as I get a lot of publishers Galley's to read so it's much better now. Hope you enjoy it too ☺️ 2w
wanderinglynn @Birdsong thanks! I hope that‘s the same for me as I agree about the kindle fire. 2w

Fugitive Telemetry | Martha Wells
post image
Pickpick

I love this series. Book 5 (although published order book 6) is a who-dun-it SciFi style with Murderbot as the detective.

ChaoticMissAdventures I am reading these and am on book four, was there flip flopping on order for 5 & 6? Is there a preference on how to read them? 3w
TheSpineView One of my favorite series! 3w
wanderinglynn @ChaoticMissAdventures Network Effect was published in 2020 whereas Fugitive Telemetry was published in 2021. But going by the book‘s timeframe, the events in Telemetry occur before Network Effect. So I opted to read them chronologically instead of by publication order. https://www.howtoread.me/the-murderbot-diaries-books-in-order/ 3w
See All 6 Comments
wanderinglynn It‘s really up to you how you want to read them. 3w
julesG @ChaoticMissAdventures In the words of my son (Murderbot super fan) in Fugitive Telemetry Murderbot gets a gizmo that it uses in Network Effect. If you read in publishing order, it will still make sense, but you might wonder why Murderbot was using something it only got "afterwards"(as in 'the next story') 3w

I stayed up far too late last night going through this book. Kenner does a great job connecting the dots & gave me som “a-ha” moments. Given that, I will say that this book is probably better suited for those who have at least some experience in either tarot or astrology. While not massively in depth on either, it provides a good foundation & Ill definitely continue to use it as a reference book. 3.75 stars rounded up.

My full review is on GR.

First, I keep phasing out because nothing is happening. Second, Hallie, 30 & a sm. biz owner, is irritating & juvenile. One example (of many): when Uncorked manager insulted Lorna, Hallie cuts in front of customers & steals cheese. Like a rebellious teenager.

Despite what sounded like a cute premise, I just can't. DNF at 31%. While I like “It Happened One Summer”, this is my 5th Tessa Bailey book but the 3rd I've DNF, so it will also be my last.

fv.reads I've seen a handful who DNF Tessa Bailey's books. Just removed all of them from my TBR list 😖 3w

🥎 I used to like running & playing tennis. But I no longer have a tennis partner & running hurts all the things. I like swimming but currently lack access to a pool. And sailing but haven‘t gotten around to finding a marina yet. Not big into team sports & not a big watcher of sports, but I will if I‘m at a bar or with someone else.

📖 tagged - despite not being into sports, I do love a good sports romance

marleed I was just talking to a 4 pickle ball players as I walked by some courts. One guy told me he loves tennis but it‘s hard to find players (in this area) with like skills and accommodating times. He said pickle ball is so easy to learn that he can easily play a game of doubles just about anytime he‘s available to play. 3w
wanderinglynn @marleed I understand the appeal of (the poorly named) pickle ball, but it‘s not my cup of tea. But I know a lot of people who do like it. 3w
marleed @wanderinglynn i played it one afternoon almost 2 years ago with a visiting sister but haven‘t played since. unlike the other courts are ball was not contained in its boundaries which was so ridiculous it wasn‘t even embarrassing! We decided to play as a ‘team‘ to 21 points only scoring when we could volley and volley again after either of us produced a successful serve. It was a hoot. I suck at sports! 3w

There‘s a great video (link below) on the Armillaria in Malheur National Forest. Estimated at over 2000 years old, it weighs at least 7500 tons, maybe up to 35000 tons (more than 200 gray whales).

Neither one of these novellas are in the database (likely because only on Audible) so I tagged another of Correia‘s books (which I also liked).

Take one gritty, hardened cop + corrupt justice system + gangs & corporate overloads and then set it in space a lost colony on a super deadly planet where not everything is what it seems. What you get is a fun SciFi murder mystery! And Oliver Wyman has the perfect voice for a gritty, hardened detective.

wanderinglynn @julesG they‘re short! About 5 hrs (on 1x speed) for both. I listened to both on 1.4x speed and I finished both in about 3.5 hrs. #enabler 😆 1mo

📽️ any more, I just don‘t watch much. But it depends on the movie. Mostly I watch at home.

🖊️ other that reading & writing, I still cross-stitch and do jigsaw puzzles

🥡 dine out or more likely, DoorDash – I hate cooking

Eggs I love cooking but not cleaning up 🤷‍♀️! Thanks for playing 🩷 1mo
wanderinglynn @Eggs I will happily come live with you and do dishes/clean-up for homemade meals! 😆 1mo
MissyD 1). Movies at home. I don‘t watch much tv anymore. 2) Crocheting, knitting, crossword puzzles, 3) I prefer dining out. I cook at home. My husband and son clean the mess. 3w

I don‘t know why I waited so long to read this series. But after finally reading All Systems Red this weekend (and I found the receipt for it dated Aug 2022), I immediately went out & bought the rest of the series. Book 2, just as awesome, maybe even more because of ART. 5⭐️ On to book 3!

ATB How many times can I heart this? 1mo
