Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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."
Caught up on Murderbot Diaries and oh my I really enjoy that so much. Going to listen to them all one after the other while I do yard work.
Meanwhile I *thought* I would read a novella real quick but it turns out The Priory of the Orange Tree is 800 pages long so I don't know where I got the idea it was short. It's got a fictional religion and dragons and a plague, though, so it's working for me. I'll just have to switch between the universes as needed.
I read Murderbot the other day. So good. I will have to go back and reread the whole series soon.
Right now I'm in comfort-reading mode, and I'm rereading all of Diane Duane's Rihannsu novels.
The new murderbot is next on my list! I'm so excited.
Yeah, "Priory" is ... not a light read.
I loved Rihannsu as a young teenager, I should go back to them again!
I quite liked Priory of the Orange Tree. I knew I could finish it but waited for paperback due to weight. I'd recommend it for having strong female characters and presenting two tender, unexpected gay love stories.
E-book, which is why I apparently had no idea how long it was when I started it. I just finished Part I, so a lot still to go and I still have very little idea what is actually going on - I mean, I'm following the plot, I think, but there are a lot of secrets and mysteries
I also just read and loved the latest murderbot! I liked Priory, but I didn't love it for some reason.
Currently reading The 10,000 doors of January, which is really good and I recommend.
Oh, that's so good!
I want to read murderbot but haven't bought it yet. I got a few pages into the 10,000 doors the other day but couldn't stick to it and ended up pulling out Doomsday Book and re-reading that this weekend. So interesting given the times now.
I read January a couple months ago. Yes, very good book, from a subgenre that's generated a number of good books.
It was one of the books that I had a little trouble with, as I have a hard time enjoying books with harm or threat of harm to children or animals than I did before I had the gumball. There was one of the Hugo nominees that I bounced off HARD because of that, and another that I looked at the warnings and was like "nah."
