This was such a good book! Unexpected, hard to put down, bad ass characters, and even the author's note was interesting. Perfect start for #scarathalondailyprompts: Black #scarathalon2022 @StayCurious

I received a $10 coupon for digital content from Amazon, so bought a couple ebooks from my wishlist! I've been wanting to read this book for a long time! The cover is so awesome! :)

LibrarianRyan I enjoyed this one. It wasn‘t what I was expecting at all but I still liked it. I wish it had a sequel 5y

I really liked this book. I know it‘s a small thing, but I particularly liked how they treated future tech as something neutral. So many sci-fi books these days portray future tech as the the thing that ends all humanity, while others manage to sneak in some random convenient piece of tech at the end to save all humanity. In this book, the tech itself was neither good nor bad, but rather the humans who either used it for good or evil.

LibrarianRyan I liked this as well. 5y

This seems like an appropriate book to start the night before Halloween. #screamathon

This was not at all what I was expecting, but I quite liked it. It is like Across the Universe, Illuminae Files, and the Expense were put in a blender, shortened, and then reconstituted. For everything that happens, this book is quite short.

This is an excellent read. It would even make for a fun show (hint hint Netflix).

Why did I wait so long to read this. I quite liked it. It reminds me of Illuminae lite. More later.

Currently I'm not reading anything. I'm eating lunch and playing online. But I brought these two books with me. Since they are in my backpack they are kind of my TBR but I get fickle. I suck at TBR. I'm also trying to read the exorcist. But it's not working. I think I'm going to send it on.

I was a bad girl over the weekend. I didn't buy two books. I instead got some companions to keep the one book company.

AlaMich That was very thoughtful of you! 🤣 7y
ladym30 Sometimes being a bad girl is a really good thing. They are enchanting! 7y
LibrarianRyan @AlaMich @ladym30 the most disappointing this was that BN had some neat Wrinkle merchandise but with astronomical prices. That part was a bummer. 7y
kamoorephoto I want to read this one!! 7y
Graciouswarriorprincess @LibrarianRyan Thanks for the tag. You‘re right about the merchandise in B&N, ridiculous prices! 7y

This is the second must buy book in Feb for me. It's a space novel, and it looks deadly fun. I was contemplating doing it as a traveling book, because it didn't look so girly that guys wouldn't want to participate. What do you think?

It's out Feb 20.
