I'm re-reading the Skulduggery Pleasant books because I don't have the spoons to read anything new.* But that's how I found out there was a new book coming out, so hey. (I was idly searching Tumblr for the #SkulduggeryPleasant tag, and there it was.)
*Although I did read the new InCryptid book, which was fun.
I'm reading Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries, and it's REALLY GOOD. Definitely recommended.
Ok, so I just finished Parasite, and I have an "ask the audience" question. At the end, Sal's all
"Oh my god, a worm is driving this meat suit"
And I'm like,
"Lady, I've known that since page 4."
Is that just me? Was it
supposed to be at all suspenseful,
or was it
a literary exercise in a journey from denial to acceptance of self-as-other?
DebetEsse, I guess the latter? Maybe? That seemed to be the continuing trajectory. That whole trilogy was really not up to the level of the Newsflesh series.
Consuela I cannot wait to read that
aurelia, I'm only a little into the second book, but it does feel like it's more pages than the story thus far justifies.
Honestly, Debet, I didn't pick up on that reveal for some time, honestly, though I had figured it out by the end.
And Amy's extension tells me that I can put Murderbot Diaries on hold at the library, 3rd in queue. Technology, sometimes you are all right.
Interesting, Pix. I think it was the
they tried to give me anti-parasitics and I nearly died, and then they did it again and I nearly died again
that made me pretty sure. That and the
warm, hot dark.
