pickI want to take the time to let everyone know that I am a huge science fiction lover. I love anything sci-fi. I have enjoyed many classics like Drowned World as well as movies such as Interstellar and Alien Romulus, and even videogames like Stray. I am longtime Trekkie and Star Wars fan and out of every single sci-fi story and character I have enjoyed. This franchise is by far the best science fiction story I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying.
pickMurderbot #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.
pickThis installment is quite vulnerable and emotional compared with the earlier books. It has Murderbot connecting (reluctantly) more with its human side, which is interesting.
Kitty-enforced downtime: It's very important to Silo that I take time on a Saturday morning to read and drink some coffee while we listen to the birds through the open window.
A little partying before bed. I risk disturbing my sleep hitting the Pellegrino so close to bedtime, but sometimes you just have to live it up.
pickOops! I finished this one the other day and forgot to review it! This is the first novel-length installment of the series, and the pacing definitely feels more novel-like. I found the interwoven additional storyline a little confusing (although I get why it's there), but I really like the relationships and the bizarre sci-fi elements.

I'm starting to think Murderbot might be my spirit animal.
First day of school bathroom selfie. Classes started yesterday (the ones I'm taking, not the ones I'm teaching), and while they promise to be fun and the good kind of challenging, they are already cutting into my quality time with Murderbot.
pickHmm...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.
pickTrucking right along with this series. It feels like bingeing a TV series and also like it should be one big book instead of a bunch of short ones. I love the commentary Wells is making about what makes someone "human" (despite the misuse of "laid" as the past tense of "lie" (i.e., without a direct object) twice in this book...one of my pet peeves).
