I'm not confused yet, but only about halfway through. The characters are wonderful, though. Riot geeks and suffragettes, basically a couple hundred years of intersectional feminism.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Hey. New board.
I just finished Mira Grant's Into the Drowning Deep which I somehow missed on release (I think my Seanan McGuire alerts missed the pseudonym). It was creepy! Definitely see why it fell under her Mira Grant name, but I definitely found it scarier than Feed, though only a horror wimp like me would probably say so.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, I've read both ... perhaps it's that in Feed they know what they're dealing with and how to live with it - it's their normal. In the other, the people don't realize what they're going to face and if there's any way to deal with it.

Hey. New board.
That's probably it.
Space Opera fans, anybody read the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers? I enjoyed the first one and LOVED the second one, but haven't read the third. The characterizations in the second one were extremely compelling, and reviews of the third make me think that might be gone so I'm waiting a while.

I've read the first three (there's a new novella I haven't gotten to yet) and really enjoyed them all, but the second was my favorite for sure.

Hey. New board.
It was so good.
I went ahead and grabbed the third one as an audiobook. More episodic things work for me when I'm washing dishes.

Love the Wayfarers books. The new novella is a different beast but also very good.

Haven't read the third one yet, but liked the first two a lot.

The third Wayfarer is decent, but nowhere are good as the first two IMO. Thanks for the book rec of Future or Another Timeline — compelling read! My BIG rec for all of you, though, is The Ten Thousand Doors of January. It is beautifully written and has such cool characters and interwoven storylines. It's one of the best books I've read in the past couple of years.

Oh, and if you liked Into the Drowning Deep, she just released a...well it isn't a sequel, but a plot-related creepy novella called Spindrift House or some such. Will double check the title. Dark, but well written as always.
