Didn’t get time to read at all this week, so still at the same place as last week.

  • Reading Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. A standalone sci-fi book.

Some of you may remember the post about Bingo card a little while back? Well, @JaymesRS@literature.cafe and @misericordiae@literature.cafe are cooking something up, which we will unveil in upcoming weeks.

Stay tuned!


Without further ado, what have you been reading or listening lately?

    I read the first book in the series and found it… nice, but certainly not up to all the hype. Is it because it is just setting things up? Does it get better, more compelling, in subsequent books?

      When Tor gave them away a few years ago, it gave away the first 4 novellas. And I think that was smart. The first one is fun, but like leaving the restaurant after just appetizers. I’d say give the 1st 2 (or even 3) a go to get a solid feel for them. If you are still not into it, it’s ok to drop it. But it really pays off to see what Murderbot does with itself and its new freedom.
