Welcome to Litsy!

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 October #TBRTarot (“Choose a book… that is less than 200 pages”) Murderbot is one of the best characters ever created. I think this series is excellent.

Murderbot #4. This was going to be her last, but luckily for all of us she kept going! I really enjoyed how Wells wrapped up this book. The whole series is exceptional, a high powered action packed adventure that covers for a deep look of what is it to be human. Murderbot is an amazing character who I love spending time with.

Hmm...I'm not sure if I'm just reading these too fast, but this one seems less substantial to me than the previous books in the series. I still like it, and there are some laugh-out-loud parts that I quite enjoy, it just feels like it's missing something. On to the next one, I guess.

Well. This is now my favorite scifi book series ever.

I can see how this was originally intended to be the final murderbot book, but I'm so glad there are still three more! I loved seeing Murderbot and Mensah's friendship develop. That scene when it let her hug it!

There are a number of moments in this book that make it a particularly satisfying entry in the Murderbot series, even upon reread. All of which are spoilers.

Rebooting Murderbot has the hilarious honesty of an intoxicated person. 😆

💅🏻

It's wonderful how Wells continues to keep the tone and the plot development without loosing the quality of the storytelling ❤

Another excellent entry in the Murderbot Diaries. Not much I think I can add to the SecUnit love others have expressed. Looks like I'll be ordering the next installment soon! 🩶🤖🩶

This series is slowly but surely improving. There's a tiny fraction of character development on the human part, but on Murderbot's part as well, which is a pleasant surprise.

It's nice knocking these out when I'm questing in MMOs

This one was very compelling! Some really character development here as Murderbot returns to the crew they left behind & takes a less avoidant approach to the conflict

In the 4th installment Murderbot meets back up with its original crew and continues to question the nature of its existence. I‘ve been loving these as novellas, and I think this is the last short installment, so we‘ll see if I like the story as much in long form going forward…

This series just keeps getting better. I love seeing Murderbot‘s growing understanding of humans and watching it navigate all these new environments and relationships. I think this my favorite so far.

Finished this and wanted to go into the next one immediately. Re-listening to them all has been helping me get the overarching story straight in my head. I really enjoy Murderbot‘s voice and internal monologue and I am very much dreading the screen adaptation (based on what we know so far, massive side-eye).

Just finished the 4th of the novellas in the Murderbot series! Yeah. Overall, it's an entertaining series to read (didn't like much the 2nd one). I may try later the first novel in the series, but I actually liked that they were novellas... Probably because I'm not a big fan of sci-fi. But I'm curious about the evolution of Murderbot. We'll see, so many books I want to read.

I'm loving this series ?? and they're making it into a TV show!

Wanted to write #ARC reviews on #NetGalley to erode #MountARC, but #GhostCat has other ideas. Guess I have to browse NetGalley and request more ARCs. ?

Good thing the laptop can play an #audiobook. Listening to the tagged "Graphic Audio" - was just released.

5/5⭐ The contrast between Murderbot's antisocial thoughts and protective actions. The dynamics between it and the original crew from book one, especially Dr. Mensah. *chef's kisses all around* This series is a gift. Excuse me I'm having an emotion.

What can I say other that I love this series! 5⭐️

I‘d love to travel to space & other worlds! 🚀🪐👽

A bit of a late start to the weekend. Luckily it‘s a 3-day weekend! Here are my #weekendreads

An installment of Murderbot was just the thing I needed after trudging through Midnight‘s Children!

Another great Murderbot adventure - getting the gang back together 🙌🏻

Murderbot is just too relatable sometimes 😅

I love Murderbot. That is all.

Like these short reads between my big book reads. 😜. This one is a good setup for the next diary. Love Murderbot.

Book number 4 in the series finally sees Murderbot reunited with Dr. Mensah and the Preservation Team. Their group dynamics are still complicated, and their shared history creates mixed emotions - and of course, Murderbot hates feeling emotions 😁. Another great installment, and another action-packed adventure!

Finished another Murderbot novella on cleaning day, what a surprise ... I love Murderbot and I will not be taking questions at this time

Another great adventure for Murderbot, this time saving some old friends. I am savoring this series and love listening to another novella installment. 5⭐️
#fabulousfebruary #roll100 read done!

When Murderbot‘s former client/friend/owner? gets kidnapped by GrayCris, it travels across the universe to rescue her.
In addition for berating itself for getting her kidnapped in the first place since it‘s trip to Milu was the fuse that set off GrayCris‘ desperate plan.
Finished 3/4/2022

The BEST of the series so far. Such a good time: great action and snark and wholesomeness as usual, and a particular series of events distinguishing it from the status quo of others in the series that really worked for me. On to the next!

Silly humans and their arms! 😂

Poor, confused, sad beepy machine babies! 🥹

Murderbot gets better with each story. This is another fast paced, fun adventure were Murderbot proves yet again why it is far better than any human, or any AI.

I really enjoyed having Murderbot and Dr. Mensah together again. This book had a great ending, but knowing there are two other books I'm excited to see what Murderbot gets involved in next.

Can‘t go wrong with the Sec-Unit! I love it (them?) sm. There are more books in the series - currently on hold at the library - but I think this was the last one Wells was involved in? Looking forward to the next book but also a bit apprehensive abt it… but so far, can‘t rly fault this series!

The best characters from the first book were back in this one, which was great. The plot, however, felt a little too similar to the plots of the earlier books.

Many thanks to @LittleMouse5708 and timely book deliveries - I get to hang out with Murderbot during my breaks today! ❤

I haven't read many E books so I've gone with a mid-series Murderbot book as my favourite

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Still absolutely loving this series

In which Murderbot has a finally confrontation with GrayCris, we reunite with Mensa and her team, and unfettered capitalism continues to be the absolute worst!

An excellent conclusion to the series of novellas! Everything answered that I needed, reunions with my favorite side characters, breathless action scenes, character growth, and enough of an opening for the novel to do something new! The audiobook narration is also excellent! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Another action packed Murderbot novella. In this one, Murderbot is reunited with Dr. Mensah and her team. It has some really sweet, emotional moments (poor Murderbot), but also some great fight scenes. I‘m looking forward to the full-length novel next.

Read the final proof of my almost published magazine article then crushed Murderbot 3 & 4 while grocery shopping 🤖 these books are so satisfying! I love the action sequences but it‘s really about analyzing how evil corp. is going to be evil this time 😈 ordering takeout so I can read books 4.5 & 5 in the series tonight 📸 by Cara of Chickpea Magazine

Off to a great start with all these ~4h audios 😁

I can't press the pick button hard enough. My favorite in the series so far. I never thought I would be so emotionally invested in a Murderbot!

I love how actually Dr Mensah and the others are better friends than Murderbot thinks they'll be, and then it has an emotion about it.
