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."
I liked the character, but I thought the plot was kind of dull, but everyone here seems to like them so much maybe I'll give the next one a try.
I just read it last night, and agree with this. It was fine but not quite Johannes Cabal or the tea-and-cake of T. Kingfisher.
Thanks, Hec. I'll check with her mom and see if she has any of those already.
Volans, I haven't read Johannes Cabal or T Kingfisher, but they're on my list.
The niece wants Promised neverland, and after a long search, I finally found an online bookstore that had a new copy of the first volume available.

Matilda is way into the anime too, though it's rather sad.
My love for Murderbot is mostly the character and relationships with other characters. I feel like the plots got more absorbing in the later novellas, but I can’t call much to mind right at the moment. Too much recent Regency murder mystery crowding out my sci-fi character study knowledge.
The second novella introduces a great character.
If you mean who I think you mean, and why wouldn’t you, very yes. And if you mean someone else probably still yes, actually.
I mean who you think I mean.
Yes, I adore that character and that character’s interactions with Murderbot. I also love that Murderbot will now autocomplete when I’m typing on my iPad, so I must be doing something right with my spare time.
That character's interactions with Murderbot are a lot like Rodney McKay and John Sheppard, which is no surprise if you know that Wells wrote professional tie-in novels for SGA.
I read the first Murderbot a while back. I liked the character, but I thought the plot was kind of dull, but everyone here seems to like them so much maybe I'll give the next one a try.
I find the plots actually kind of hard to follow, but the voice and emotional growth of Murderbot are what keep drawing me back. I sympathize so much with its desire to NOT DEAL WITH PEOPLE AND THEIR FEELINGS. It's just charming.
