Books read on vacation:
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil:
Posted upthread. I thought it started out very strong but ultimately needed a bit more plot by the end.
Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep:
Very solid modern cyberpunk, recommended for fans of the genre. If classic cyberpunk wasn't your thing back in the day, you might find it incredibly annoying but I had fun the whole way through. LOVED the ending.
The Ministry of Time:
Another long-term resident of my TBR, finally conquered by a week at the lake! I liked almost everything about this book, thought it could have been a bit shorter. Another one with a satisfying ending though! (The only disappointment is I'd seen this book on a bunch of "Best LGBTQ+ Books" lists and so I was expecting more than two minor queer characters. But that's not the book's fault.)
Thanks for that! I have been hesitant to pick up the Sheep one because the title just, I don't know, worried me. Like the chance that someone was trying to be cute in a way that was destined to disappoint me seemed high.
Happy Daggerbound Day! I thought it was tomorrow but it’s on my phone now…should’ve taken tomorrow off
I was just coming the post the same thing!!!
Good news - I pre-ordered through Kobo and my Kobo books can be read in a browser, so I can have a tab open to read while I wait for various reports to finish running...
Ahhh, extremely satisfying if not great for my “sleep score”
And Shieldborn pre-ordered for next year, woohoo! Kinda want to go back to Clockwork Boys and read through all the White Rat…
Once I started Daggerbound and realized who the main character was, I stopped and started rereading Clockwork Boys. Gotta start at the beginning of the character arc.
Oh I did not realize there was a new t kingfisher! Maybe I will actually read a book this year that isn’t just book-length heated rivalry fanfic?? I didn’t get into clockwork boys though…(read maybe half or three quarters of the first and wandered away never to return)
Smart. Although I didn’t feel like I was missing out too much by not having a great memory, the in text reminders did their job
