And my last #booksreadin2025!

This was funny from the start and it never stopped. The first POV from Charlie, the MC, was the best part of the book, in my opinion, as we experiance a lot at the same time he does. Not to mention the mutual surprise of sentient cats and dolphins willing to strike in protest! The additional characters are sooo much fun and I'm in love with them all.What a fun surprise to end the year!

Countiing down to the last 4 #booksreadin2025.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this anthology but I was very much in awe of every author for creating this stories within the world of the 4 films.
I can clearly see how each author is a fan of the series, including the editor due to their exploration and original characters but also the attention to detail to the world building and the Xenomorphs themselves.

Please tell me somebody wrote their thesis on this passage. 🤔

Fascinating to consider how empathy would look in an artificial brain, but incredibly unethical to create a robot that feels the equivalent of pain each moment it somehow fails to help a human who has not properly expressed how they require aid. 🫤

Feelings in this case: An unusual experience for Daneel and Baley. 😏

Admittedly, I'd appreciate a few less thunderclouds in the 2020s...🌩️

Superficial changes. Correct forms of address are part of it, but truly respecting an individual's identity and worth has to go deeper.

January #bookspinbingo board. I'm penciling in Oyinkan Braithwaite for #BIPOCIntlAuthorArtist2026 since @GatheringBooks challenged me to find my own list and to add in with all my other buddy reads. Currently reading the tagged #bookspin pick and greatly enjoying it, although my #USpresidents choice is forming a pleasant way to survive my morning commute.

Amiable Happy to hear that George is being helpful! 😀 5h
TEArificbooks Oh I read that book a couple a years ago. My son had to a report on that battle so we buddy read the book. 4h
Larkken @TEArificbooks did you two like it? It's a bit mired in the backstory rn, but I could prob stand to learn more about the British army too, I guess😆 1h
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Looks fantastic!! 1h
TEArificbooks @Larkken it is an interesting bit of history and one of the sneakiest under handed thing Washington has ever done. He really needed a win so you broke some moral rules to win. It picks up the pace after he starts crossing the river. now

November wasn't a great reading month. Only finished 8 books, no 5 🌟 reads. This got the highest rating at 4.25. If you like a book with a lovable rogue, more anti-hero than hero, you might enjoy this.
