A fun sci-fi romp! And it was nice to read something not at all holiday related and to strike it off my tbr.

This is probably my least favorite Scalzi. Overall, it was an enjoyable read. The ending was a bit much.
My kind of sci-fi: weirdness opens up discussion on important topics, i.e. animal rights and AI - whether sentient beings can be property, genetic modification. I love when politics enmeshed with militant machinations are the backbone of a story with a veteran protagonist because who better to prove there's more to people than violence, knows the real value of human life, the real cost of war. Smart, action-packed. [Warning: Gore, animal death.]
Sounds like an Axe Body Spray variety. 😆
1. The Book Loft in Columbus, Ohio
2. That's tough. Even being a librarian, I haven't visited many. And I wouldn't say any of the ones I have been to have been good enough to be a fave.
3. Being able to have time to read and have access to the books I want. Especially purchasing them.

One of my favorite things about working in a used bookstore is when my recommendation shelf gets empty, and I have to wander around to see which books happen to be in stock right now. This morning I found a pretty good selection of books I‘ve loved! John Scalzi and Jasmine Guillory are pretty rare around here (probably because they‘re so awesome no one wants to part with their books!), so I was especially happy to find those.
Absolutely loved this book, the way it starts is a little ridiculous but it weaves a really great story from there. I love sci-fi that delves into politics and religion. This book is funny and gripping and the characters are lovable.
Scalzi ties insane and improbable situations into a solid, believable story.

FINALLY finished! I don‘t usually like sci-fi, but this was enjoyable. And Wil Wheaton narrating was hilarious (especially the random bit screamed in a Scottish accent).
Congrats @Mommamanzi on your milestone! 🎉🍾🎇🎆🙌🏻🎉
My fave book so far the year, tagged, because I am a huge John Scalzi fan and this book make me laugh from the first sentence. If I should win, I choose book 1. #30000Giveaway
The only good part of work travel is having time to read. 😀
A friend of mine recommended Scalzi‘s Redshirts, and since reading Redshirts, I‘ve been hooked on all things Scalzi. I love Scalzi‘s writing, his creativity, and his sense of humor. And this book did not disappoint.

Well this is certainly an intriguing first sentence! ❤️ Scalzi.
Congrats @Ingerella and @Madamereginald on your milestones! 🎉👏🏻🙌🏻🎆🎇
Two on top of my tbr pile are the one tagged and Nemesis by Brendan Reichs. My fave treats: dark chocolate, particularly spicy dark chocolate.
Thanks for this #sistergiveaway opportunity & good luck all!

Husband is making me listen to his favorite sci-fi book on the way across Texas.
I almost gave up on this one after the first chapter, which was essentially a long, elaborate fart joke....but Scalzi hasn't let me down yet, so I stuck with it, and it mostly redeemed itself by the end. An interesting story delivered in his typical humerous style, I ended up being glad I didn't bail. Picture from the web, of an art installation by Rainer Bock.
Snark, wit, and aliens. Another good one from John Scalzi.
I was going to preface this by saying this was just my second Scalzi book but a quick Goodreads search says it's my fourth.
My search also points out that I have only listened to Scalzi books read by Wil Wheaton.
Coincidence? I think not. I am guessing I chose the books for the narrator rather than the author. Now I realize I may need to search out more by Scalzi including Red Shirts which is the only WW narrated book I haven't listened to.
This political triller scifi hybrid is about a former State Department employee's search for a sheep--and the fate of the Earth depends on it! Yet, it somehow manages not to be silly. #politicalfiction #photoadaynov16
