Another ✨library haul✨

Sooo I may have gone a bit overboard this time…

FIFTEEN BOOKS!!! And this isn’t counting the 8 or so I got before these and still have… guess I really gotta get reading!

The themes that are emerging here are trans women, lesbians, and sci-fi—all things I am always loving 😌 I’m particularly excited about These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart by Izzy Wasserstein, a new release that I specifically requested our collection developer to buy and put on hold for me, the Monk & Robot duology by Becky Chambers (A Psalm for the Wild Built and A Prayer for the Crown Shy), and (almost) all of the books in Martha Wells’ Murderbot Diaries series—I’m still waiting on the second one to come back!

I’m very excited to get around to these, but more than anything, I’m grateful my library has such a great collection for so many of the books I’ve been wanting to read for so long and for newer releases too :)

If I may...be a book nerd for a moment...ahem...

I AM RECORDING A SHORT ZOOM PANEL WITH MUR LAFFERTY AND TJ KLUNE THIS FRIDAY.

This is for Bubonicon (local SF/F con I help run), and I AM SO EXCITED. They are our guests of honor this year, and we're doing this as a teaser. And I'm just super pumped!!!

I'll post a link when it's up if anyone is interested in this sort of thing, but you can in general find our Bubonicon YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@buboniconinc5895

May Book Reviews: Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

Book club book. Maria Arena awakes in a cloning vat, along with the rest of her crewmates-- to discover that their former bodies were all brutally murdered. They must discover who committed the space crimes before the killer strikes again.

This book is set up a little like Simmons' Hyperion, slowly revealing each of the crewmembers' pasts through flashback interludes as the reader gets closer and closer to realizing which of the cast is the traitor. Overall, the way the book was structured was very clever, but I think this book falls short a little as a mystery proper-- many of the original clues presented in the setup are never explained or mentioned again, and the final resolution is a little implausible.

A catchy, flashy SF thriller with an original premise. I see why it was nominated for so many awards.

Read this month: May 2024

I finally picked up some physical books again:

M. Lo: A Scatter of Light

T. Bell: Sepia und das Erwachen der Tintenmagie (audiobook, eARC)

D. Sayer: Whose Body (ebook)

A. Garner: Treacle Walker (ebook, library)

F. Marske: A Marvellous Light (ebook, library)

B. Albertalli: Imogen, Obviously (ebook, library)

M. Lafferty: Station Eternity

May was quite the rollercoaster regarding the books I read - I even read a 1* book (which I only finished because, by the time I realised it would not get better, I was already over 40 pages in this 80 page novella). At least it ended on a high. After loving Six Wakes, I am happy to say that Station Eternity is another great SciFi murder mystery by Mur Lafferty. I want more!

Station Eternity by: Mur Lafferty

Where do I start with this book? It was good. I have never read a book like this in my entire life. I’ve read sci-fis. I’ve read mysteries. I’ve never read a mystery with a sci-fi setting. Never read one where the lead seems to cause people around her to get murdered. This book was fantastic. In case you can’t guess I’m giving it a five (5) star rating. My only qualm with it was that the…

The Ophelia network, par Mur Lafferty (argyll productions, septembre 2024)

Dans très peu de temps, dans des USA fascistes, le mouvement de résistance utilise une émission de télévision pour enfants pour transmettre ses messages codés. Mais « the Department for Freedom and Truth » (c’est ironique bien entendu) découvre cette organisation…

Une très bonne longue nouvelle où l’auteur gomme la frustration qui pourrait naître chez le lecteur de la brièveté du propos par une construction originale.
