Centique
Toward Eternity | Anton Hur

Pickpick

Inhaled this book in one day as i found it so interesting. However im not sure its going to stay with me. The form is that of a notebook being passed from one person to the next so you dont stay with any one character for long. In a future world a nanite technology recreates all your human cells so that you can survive a terminal illness. But are you still human? Do you still have a soul and does it wish to remain forever in this ⬇️

Centique immortal body? Lots of interesting questions but i think a longer book would have helped you connect and feel more for the characters. I think Anton Hur is a writer I need to read more from for sure. 2w
Reggie All the nanite stuff I read goes into the horror/ai becomes too smart and kills us off territory. This sounds good. 2w
Centique @Reggie yes this goes there too! But it stays pretty cerebral, you dont get up close to any of the carnage. 2w

This one is a low Pick due to it taking forever to get going & nearly not capturing my attention at all before it finally moved the plot on. Sister witches wanting different things from life, curses, witchcraft paranoia, heartbreak, betrayal & forgiveness - this was actually a cracking, if slightly lowkey, read. Evocative writing, some interesting symbolism, and strong, capable, independent women at one with nature & their own worth. Nice.

Soubhiville One of my favorites! I don‘t really like this cover for it though. It‘s much too tame for a TP novel. 1mo

julesG Sorry, hit the wrong button. Wanted to add, the cover must look a bit stuffy for a modern classic. 😉 1mo

First novella in a fun Sci-fi trilogy with a dash of romance.

There is a heist. And, without spoiling too much, neither Ada nor Rian are what they pretend to be.

julesG Some reviewers said the reveal came as a big surprise, but it didn't for me. Guess I pay too much attention to the details on and off the page. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo
TheSpineView Fantastic! 1mo
Andrew65 Excellent 🥳🥳🥳 1mo
CaramelLunacy I really enjoyed this! Ada's voice is just so much fun, and I adored her cleverness. I also really liked the footnotes reports at the end (but I have a weakness for footnotes). 1mo

I finished my GR goal yesterday by finishing 2 of my way too many currently reading books (at one point I was at 29 🙄). One of my goals this year is to be more focused in my reading.

Reggie Great job! 2mo
Mollyanna @Reggie Thank you! 😊 2mo

Night Watch is a brilliant novel that offers far more than just a fun fantasy read. It's a deep and thought-provoking exploration of duty, justice, and the power of individual choices. Pratchett uses the Discworld setting to shine a light on the human condition, with all its flaws and triumphs, making this book one that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page...

BookmarkTavern One of my favorites! ❤️ 2mo

4⭐This is Beth Rivas at her best. This is a fun space romp adventure that manages to pack a ton of action and intrigue into a very small space. The book is not a romance, but has romance in it that makes all readers want to continue flipping the pages. We start with a salvager who is in distress and puts out a help call to another ship. She‘s picked up by the rescue ship and becomes a temporary member of their crew to help with the current mission

Toward Eternity | Anton Hur
Mehso-so

Whelp, that was a weird little trip.

Although nicely written, this book is a bit of a clusterfuck of sci-fi and questioning humanity and human existence. I listened to the audio book, and though it was engaging, I definitely found myself wondering “What‘s the point of this book”. Maybe I‘m not in a place to appreciate it right now, but it was a 🤷‍♀️ for me.

This is a pick x1000.

If you enjoy SF and LitSF I would highly recommend this. It's very short, it's beautifully written, and is highly political. I want to force strangers in the street to read it. So please stack add, go read the first chapter, let yourself get sucked into the writing.

This was such a strange and wonderful book. I didn't realize an alien invasion romance was something I would love so much. But Denver's mission to understand recent bizarre events with the handsome Ezra was heartwarming, & heart-pounding, & so unique. The character journeys during the crisis were so well written. Denver is non-binary & autistic so he believes everyone in his small town dislikes him. But he is determined to save the town anyway

Kenyazero I love finding books I never would have realized I needed! 3mo
