It‘s boiling hot this weekend in Southern California, so this pool looks particularly inviting. 💦

I‘m still laboriously making my way through Parade‘s End. About halfway through. Everything else is a group read:

The Hotel for #HashtagBrigade ,
Spam Tomorrow for #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub , and
Ghost Station for #LitsySciFiBookClub .

This was a strong outing in atmospheric horror. Good character development, but sometimes the FMC could get a little annoying. There was a strong mood of creepy dread throughout the novel. 4 Stars.

Here are a few questions to start our open discussion of August's #LitsySciFiBookClub selection, The Blighted Stars. Feel free to discuss anything. If you want to be added or removed from the tag list, please let me know.

When I read the synopsis, I wasn't sure I would like this. I was happily surprised. Great plot and characters. The tension was great. I want to read the next book now.

CatLass007 @TheSpineView The fact that this is the first book in yet another series is the main reason I decided to sit this one out. We‘ve started The Lady Astronaut series, we‘ve started John Scalzi‘s Lock-In series and I‘ve enjoyed them both. It‘s great to read new-to-me authors. I‘m glad you enjoyed this book and want to read the next one. I‘m sure I‘d feel the same way. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as you did and that eventually I‘ll (cont)⬇️ 1w
CatLass007 @TheSpineView enjoy it too. It‘s just not as fun to enjoy the first book in a series but not continue the series so that we can continue to discuss the other books. I realize I‘m probably coming across as whiny and that‘s not my intention. I‘m just wondering if there‘s a different way to do things. If there isn‘t, that‘s okay. No one is demanding that I read every book the group chooses. Sorry. Just venting, I guess. (edited) 1w
TheSpineView @CatLass007 I get it. This is a low-key group, and anyone is welcome to skip books. I'm lucky to have already read all the books in the other series you mentioned. I suggest that you continue to nominate the next books in the series. As for this latest book, I probably will, at some point, go ahead and read the next book on my own. 1w
CatLass007 @TheSpineView I‘m sure I‘ll read this sooner or later just not now. 1w
Ruthiella 1. I tolerated the romance more than I enjoyed it. 😂 I‘m not a fan of romance (Jane Austen excepted). It was fine.
2. I did enjoy the scifi aspects more-the ability to move consciousness to another body as well as the parasitic threat. As noted, that does happen in ants and the idea of it is terrifying. 😱
3. The duel perspective was fine, but I think it would have been a tighter (and slightly shorter) narrative if the author had not used it. 1w
majkia I'm not big on romance, but this book didn't bother me that much in that department.

I really enjoyed the concept of moving consciousness to new bodies. And the idea of that getting corrputed was a fascinating idea.

I'm a GRRM fan, so switching persepectives and POV for this one was , compartatively,, child's play, ;) 1w

julesG I'm currently listening to the next book in the series. (me and series, I have to binge ?). 1) I don't mind the romance. It is done well. It's not the only focus of the story. 2) O'Keefe plays with topics that aren't new, the concept of casting your mind into a new body has been done before (Altered Carbon comes to mind) as well as the parasitic/symbiotic threat. But it's done with fresh ideas to add to the "trope". 3) dual perspective was ⬇️ 7d
julesG fine. They offered more information on some scenes - and yes, that means the romance part as well. 7d
julesG Here's an idea, should we not pick up the Lady Astronaut or Scalzi's series, @CatLass007. You could branch out and offer a low key readalong of the series. Or read them on your own and tag me and @TheSpineView for discussion? 7d
TheSpineView @julesG Excellent idea 7d
kwmg40 @julesG @CatLass007 I'd be happy to join a readalong of Scalzi's series. Since there is only one other novel and one novella in that series, it shouldn't take too long to complete. I've already read two other books in the Lady Astronaut series, and those felt very much like standalone books, so reading just the first book isn't as frustrating as doing that for other series where the first book ends in a cliffhanger. 5d
kwmg40 There was a lot I liked about The Blighted Stars (the technology, the survival story, the twists in the plot) but I could have done without the romantic elements. 5d
CatLass007 @julesG @kwmg40 Sounds good to me. 5d

The September selection for the #LitsySciFiBookClub is Ghost Station. Hope everyone enjoys. Fortunately, my local library has a physical copy. I saw that it is available as an audio book on Amazon but not Kindle Unlimited.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list.

I wasn't really looking forward to reading this book. I didn't like Velocity Weapon by O'Keefe. But I got the audiobook and couldn't put it down. I'm probably finishing today.

I didn't care all that much for the romantic elements of the story but I really liked the sci-fi ideas and the twisty plot, and I'm always drawn to a good survival story.
