I‘ve almost completed the audio and am curious to see how it wraps up. I like the sprinkles of ‘building minds‘ and would have like to see an extra helping of that part it kinda felt like a split POV version of ‘Arrival‘ but with an Octopus.

This was pure enjoyable SciFi. The Audio narration was Amazing and add so much to the story. Plenty of genuine laughs and great camaraderie between the characters and their new friend.
Loved it!

(I received an early review audiobook copy. Release Date - March 14)

An Ocean of Others | Joshua Scott Edwards
post image

REMEMBER WHAT'S REAL OR YOUR HEAD WILL BE THEIRS

Survival is never easy, especially for Grim, the last bounty hunter in Liwokin. He survived the Great Riot that killed thousands, endured the bloody chaotic aftermath, and avoided the crushing fist of the Agency created to quell the unrest. Rule of law returned, but following the rules doesn‘t put food in your belly.

Action-packed, bloody, and full of brain-bending intrigue!

Only just started this but quite enjoying it. Virtual worlds, enslaved workforce, uprising, war…

One day, Jyosh will climb the heavens and slay a dragon god.

Though nothing could seem less likely for a slave, especially one whose body is too broken to cycle sunshine into destructive magical energy. Until he meets a woman who can secretly teach him the the light blade to perform incredible magical feats according to the wielder‘s skill

Moonfellows | Danger Slater

ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP INTO THE EXISTENTIAL ABYSS
Washington DC. 1906. The inaugural mission of the Moonfellow Program. Our first tentative steps out into the stars...
It was a complete and unequivocal disaster.
Now a hapless gravedigger finds himself among the handful of survivors stranded on the lunar surface-forced to contend with madness, conspiracies, and whatever that thing is on the dark side, picking them off one by one.

Takes the concept of ‘The Purge‘ movies mixed with the production behind ‘The Hunger Games‘ (or the classic Arnold film Running Man) Indiscriminate killings and a glimpse into a future of manufactured fear.
I don‘t know what that says about me but I loved it. ☠️

A little past the half way point. (On audio)
I was enjoying the first part and now this second part is getting pretty wacky and I‘ve disconnected with what‘s going on. I‘ll stick through it cause it has to have a good ending, right?

Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo | Taylor Jenkins Reid
Pickpick

Yes I actually read (listened to) this whole book. Definitely not my typical read but I did enjoy it. It started out like a Sex and the City episode but then went deep into controversial LGBT perceptions in Hollywood in the 50s and 60s. Then there was a hefty emotional guy punch in the final chapter. Definitely a ‘beach read‘ or a good pick for the next book club over some wine.

Diving into this audiobook. The first story was great and the narration is wonderful. The second story is that if the title and that‘s just started. Great scary read for the season.

Scott_BookInvasion @vivastory He had a tweet or something that if you provided him proof of a pre-order of the book he would provide the address and would pay the cost to mail it back. So, yeah, I mailed it but it was prompted. He‘s going on a tour soon but maybe if you contact him when it‘s over he‘ll give you the address. 6y

Version Control: A Novel | Dexter Palmer

Mehso-so

Wow. This wasn‘t what I expected but it strung me along juuuuust enough to finish it.

It was more ‘literature‘ type reading than sci-fi where it dives deep into the relationships and cultural/societal topography of the near future.

It was interesting and quite well done but just slow and I was looking toward something a little faster and more action.

Like Daniels does such a great narration on this. I love the campy trope-ody and the silliness of it all. I‘m only about 5 chapersbin and its like Monty Python meets Princess Bride but a little sillier.

I‘ve watched a couple panels and signings with these authors together and they seem to have such a good dynamic. I‘m so glad to see their is going to be more!

Wow, what a thrill ride.
This one grabs you in with a constant fear of ‘oh no, something bad is going to happen‘ and sinks it‘s dripping jowls right through your mindscape. I always enjoy the super-nice-bad-guy play and I wanted to shout some reason into the characters. I feel like there could have been a better ‘plot revelation‘ and it didn‘t end how my twisted mind suspected it would.

The audio narration left something to be desired. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MStew 🤘 6y
readordierachel I kind of liked that there wasn't a reveal/twist at the end, even though it was somewhat unsatisfying. Glad you enjoyed it! 6y
