Marie Quinn is the head of the Antimemetics Division, charged with protecting the world from unknown threats that hide in plain sight and feed on human memory. But how do you fight an enemy when to even remember it could mean death? A fascinating concept, although the ending did not quite work for me. Still, glad I read it.

Came across this short story when searching for a book to read for this months #QueerBC - of course I couldn't resist. It's a prequel to In The Lives of Puppets and somehow makes me want to reread the again. Even though it's just a very short text, it's got written TJ Klune all over. It's heartbreaking and it's sweet and cute. And sad.

Billy Pilgrim is a hapless, helpless soldier in WWII. He witnesses horrendous acts of violence and the destruction of Dresden. He survives to return to home just to be abducted by aliens. The story is conveyed through glimpses of his life as he is bouncing around the timeline. Using dark humor and an underlying sadness, there is a poignant story to be pieced together. This is a short and interesting book and is well worth reading.

The Wayfarer is an old, patched up ship with a diverse, motley crew. Book 1 of this series is seen through the eyes of a newbie hire, Rosemary Harper. With her experiences we learn that family is not necessarily blood-related or even human. Low on science, high on world-building and relationships, this is a fun read.

Johnnie Rico is recruited into the infantry for the intergalactic Arachnid war, but first he must survive base camp. This novel is different from the movie as it focuses mostly on the philosophies of military life, the development of a soldier, as well as many other commentaries about life. He does a nice job in illustrating futuristic weapons and there are some engaging battles with alien bugs. I found it readable but not my favorite.

Okay, just a first warning: this book includes a dinosaur having cancer (an osteosarcoma). That might be worth knowing since it does make it a tad less cosy to me.

Anyway, still a fun volume, but it's worth knowing. I liked the way Suma and that guy came to somewhat of an understanding but it still wasn't, like, warm liking.
