And it's a wrap. At least January turned out to be a solid reading month in spite of the rest of the month's events.
Just starting......this has been on my shelf since publication 10 years ago, my husband loved it and so I decided to read. Trying to read off my shelves instead of borrowing from the library 🤪
I did pretty well with my first month of #Roll100 in January—2 books completed and I‘m 2/3 through the third book. Hopefully that bodes well for February! Here are my books corresponding to the numbers.
pickThis was a cute, cozy locked-room murder mystery set on a spaceship where everyone's memories are kept in digital books so people can be placed into new bodies over the course of the long space journey. When the ship's detective awakens in a strange body with her memory book erased and a murder to solve, she has to figure out who's killing people by erasing them--permanently.
pickHorror meets Hollywood is this #ToB25Longlist book and it was fun reading it. Towards the end it spun a bit out of control and I lost track of what was happening but over all I am always happy to read this kind of books thanks to the #ToB! And I‘ll have nightmares of that worm 😱😱
See @squirrelbrain we‘re in sync again 💕

pickThinking about time travel makes my head hurt.
Reading this made my heart hurt.
I loved every second of it.
pickI re-read this today and it still made me sad. I want to listen and read more of Hawthorne's work, he was my favorite author in high school. I always enjoyed his commentary on women's agency and rights and their treatment by men/the patriarchy. (The Scarlet Letter/Young Goodman Brown are also great examples of this.)
This short story at its core is about the ethical use of science and I find that interesting.
Jan stats! Faves were Capture the Sun and Swordcrossed (why yes, sff romance is one of my favourite genres how could you tell?) but I enjoyed all the books I read this month. A lovely reading start to the year.
