Gideon the Ninth (think Clue, but with a bunch of sassy necromancers in a rotting space mansion) was one of the most fun books I read last year and I am absolutely PUMPED to be #starting the sequel!

AlaMich You had me at “rotting space mansion!!!” 😂 2mo

RamsFan1963 I'm reading/listening to Gideon The Ninth right now. So far it's been a hoot. I love Gideon's smart mouth and bad ass attitude 2mo

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @RamsFan1963 There are a couple of moments in Gideon that reach the absolute pinnacle of bad-assery. I 🖤 the 6th House! 2mo

The Pull of the Stars: A Novel | Emma Donoghue

Couldn't decide what to read next so I asked our little guy to pick which cover he liked out of four books. He chose this one - so the tagged book it is then. Another stunning day here so I'm going to start this book with a cold drink while the kids run around with their friends. Not sure how much reading I'll actually get done, but I can always dream.

Things My Son Needs to Know about the World | Fredrik Backman, Neil Smith

A beautiful warm and sunny day for some backyard reading. Going to start the tagged book for my #BookSpin read while I enjoy a refreshing cold strawberry tea. I think it is pretty neat that Backman was able to write a book for/to his son. I'd love to be able to write a book for my kids!

Orbital Resonance | John Barnes

One more week of Summer Break to go, so I‘m closing it out with this science fiction novel set on a hollowed-out asteroid space colony in the far distant future of 2025.

Looking back through Litsy, I noticed my last 2 summers have ended on clunkers so I hope this rocks.

If nothing else this book smells of musty used book stores and joy.

Centique I love that description of musty bookshop smells = joy. I am with you on that! 4y

#Starting this gift my brother gave me a few months ago for my birthday. The card said “Ground Control to Major Tobey” which was a nice touch.

Just... just look at it!

Beatlebone | Kevin Barry

#Starting this novel of magical realism about John Lennon on an adventure in Ireland where he, if I‘m understanding the synopsis correctly, meets a shape-shifter? Or something?

#SummerOfShort3

UPDATE: 43 pages in now and I am in LOVE with this freaking book.

vivastory I really loved this one & have never been able to listen to Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights the same since reading it 😂 4y

vivastory The first Barry I read, which is even better IMO is

City of Bohane

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @vivastory Noted! I was not prepared for the style, but it is truly fantastic. 4y

merelybookish I read this and liked it but now don't remember much except feeling confused. 4y

vivastory @merelybookish Did you read
