pickThis is the book that first got me hooked onto the Vorkosigan series, one of my all-time favourite sci-fi series. It's a later book but was fine as an entry point. Now I'm rereading the entire series for a third time, this time on audio during long car trips with my husband.

This series is fast paced, funny and plays with pseudoscience (a lot) so well you can almost believe it. Skippy, the alien AI, makes the series. He's such a smart ass.

What was my favorite book of December? And the answer is…this clever and wistful story about siblings in space with their cat. Their CAT, y‘all. #12booksof2024
so-soThe score of a lifetime, & it will take a rag tag group racing against a powerful company to get there first.
There was a lot I liked. Found family, space heists, wide expansive worlds, corporations are the bad guys. But we didn‘t actually get to the heist, it felt like we only got the first half of the story, the romance felt forced, & I‘m not a big fan of futuristic sci fi that tells me that fatness shouldn‘t exist. 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
My favorite book for August was the start of yet another trilogy. I know a lot of people were turned off by the romantic elements of this book, and I admit it was eye rollingly heavy at times, but I enjoyed the characters, the world building and the interesting villain.

The sequel to Cascade Failure was my favorite book of July. The crew of the Ambit is forced to work with their worst enemy to save the life of one of their family members.

Here are a few questions to think on for our December selection, Stars Uncharted by S.K. Dunstall.
1. A lot of concepts/technologies were presented (aka body modification) that where farfetched. Do you think the author handled it well?
2. Most everyone had something they were escaping. Do you think this over complicated the plot?
3. What worked and didn't work for you in this book?
Feel free to discuss anything. These questions are just to...
I didn't get any books for Xmas/ my birthday but I did get a gift card and some money so #bookhaul time! 5 books and an agenda for the new year, very pleased with my haul. Everything I got was on sale too except Capture the Sun. That's probably the one I'll start as soon as I finish my current physical book.
I hope all of you had/are having lovely, relaxing, bookish holidays. Wishing you all the best.
