September… so after an incredibly dry summer-as in no measurable precipitation since May- my city got, I kid you not, a normal summer’s worth of rain in an hour. In other words it poured. Today is nice, sunny and a bit damp and I can almost hear the lawn sighing in relief.
So whatcha all readin as we slide into fall?
Print:
The Future by Naomi Alderman. I feel like she’s lost the plot here and is foundering around trying to decide where to go next. It’s my book club book so I may end up skimming the rest.
Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells, just in the mood to reread The Murbot Diaries and she has a new one coming out next spring.
KIndle:
11:59 by C.S. Poe, one of my favorite m/m writers. A novella about a swordsman and a dancer and a city full of monsters.
Audiobook: The Element of Magic by Martha Wells. I am very glad this wasn’t my intro to her because I am not going on with this series. Soooooooo much politics and so much standing around staring at walls - to quote Murderbot- between the action scenes. It’s taking me forever to read it.
Khadaji was one of the earlier members of SDMB, and he was well-known as a kindly person who always had something encouraging to say, particularly in the self-improvement threads. He was also a voracious, omnivorous reader, who started these threads 'way back in the Stone Age of 2005. Consequently, when he suddenly and quite unexpectedly passed away in January 2013, we decided to rename this thread in his honor and to keep his memory, if not his ghost, alive.
The first story in particular was just awful.
