So one of my friends got me this book and also a bird watching book along with a gardening book that I am really enjoying. I should be able to post about those soonish once I get this done. Anyway, my one friend is really into crystals, growing plants to dry so she can make teas and other things with them along with growing tons of food/plants to make meals with. When I was a kid I loved crystals, but didn’t really get a chance […]

So I don’t want to get into every story in this book because I don’t want to spoil. But wow. This book was really really good. Even though I thought the part two that switched to Los Angeles lost some of its charm, I still thought this was a 5 star read and really enjoyed it. Instead of giving a blow by blow of each story, I am just going to focus on my favs: “The Line”-This story follows Pushkin and his wife Irina and […]

I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones

This was so boring that I maybe lost my mind a bit. I think that it was just repetitive to the point that it induced sleep. I started this at the beginning of August and I had to keep setting it aside because it was so freaking slow. I am very annoyed that I even bought this book and should have not gotten excited about a story told about being a teenage slasher. SGJ telling the story of what makes a slasher, and the “rules” […]

“Rapport” follows Perihelion/Peri/ART and its crew while they are attempting a mission on a station that is dealing with a hostile takeover. You get to meet the crew that ART was ready to kill to get back in “Network Effect.” Well, that was delightful. It’s a nice little interlude showing how much our ART (otherwise known as Peri) has changed since it met and established a friendship with Murderbot. I think that this is great to read after the events of “Network Effect” actually since […]

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Trigger warning: You hear about rape and at least two scenes show someone who is a kid and a teen about to be raped. “The Red Knot” centers on an isolated town on an island in Alaska. The town has been through some devastating times and it appears they are back. A recent storm has caused some fisherman to be killed. And a local girl has gone missing. […]
