Be Dazzled
by Ryan La Sala

I didn’t know that I needed a crafting, cosplay love story in my life until I picked this up. Ryan created just as vivid of a world as he did in Reverie.

Tender Is The Bite

In this one, Chet (and Bernie) take on a case of missing persons (and a missing ferret) involving shady politicians, their unpleasant neighbor Mr. Parsons, the aforesaid ferret, a race horse in training, a nasty police detective, a miniature golf range, and a bomb in a cave. Pretty good, and, of course, Chet's take on things is just hilarious.

Another 3-1/2 star read. In this one, Pine and her assistant Blum return to Pine's home town in Georgia, where her sister had been taken so long ago, to try and figure out who, why, and what happened to her sister. What she discovers shakes her to her core.

The Last Guard

I'd rate this 3-and-a-half stars if possible. Anyway, this is about Payal, CEO of a major Psy family conglomerate based in Delhi, India and Canto (stupid name, sorry), chief spymaster for the Mercant family. Both are Designation As - Anchors - and strong ones at that. Both were also severely damaged as children because apparently Designation A children often have physical and mental problems that cause some family groups to disown them before their Anchor status can be confirmed. As usual with Nalini's Psy/Changeling series, they are stronger together as they work to shore up the PsyNet which is being damaged by The Architect and her Scarab minions. (Kaleb & Sahara played parts, which made me happy, and we also got to see Aden, Valentin, Silver and Arwen plus the other members of The Council.) Not my favorite in the series but kept me reading, so good enough!

A Good Neighborhood

A fine read, but no discussion is deep enough to make a lasting impression, and the quality of the prose is not strong enough to compel the reader.

Lisey's Story By Stephen King

I told a while to get thru but I enjoy the story. It was a little upsetting about what he did to her the crazy guy for the books. And I felt sorry for her husband what he went thru as a child. The book reminds me of another story I read but I can't remember the name. I enjoy Kings books and I can't wait for next one. I like how she was able go into his world

Artificial Condition

This is the second novella in the Murderbot Diaries series and a re-listen for me. I just can't seem to get enough Murderbot. In this one, Murderbot has left Dr. Mensah and Preservation Station aboard a bot-driven transport, heading for a mining facility where it had once been assigned to try and find out what terrible thing happened that caused it to hack its governor module. On the way, it meets ART, a sentient Deep Space Research and Teaching Vessel, then contracts to protect three humans who are determined to do something dangerous - though it would rather just be alone with its media to binge serials. I love the interaction between Murderbot and ART, as well as the growth of the Murderbot character. The world building is complex, dealing with corporate greed, political corruption, and interstellar happenings, but it's easy to follow, which is a testament to Wells' storytelling skills. The books are queer and diverse and just full of wholesome, positive representation, and it's wonderful! They are also hilarious at times, gut-wrenching at others, but it's the character of Murderbot that makes this series so special. Is it concerning how much I relate to a cyborg that calls itself Murderbot?

Dear Senthuran

I’d read Akwaeke’s grocery list. I knew from past books that they are an incredible writer, but this memoir went above and beyond in vulnerability and language.

The Last Black Unicorn

Tiffany Haddish has had a crazy life. I can't believe some of the things I read but you can see the love and forgiveness she has for her family, mom especially. After going through so much and becoming a success was inspiring to read.
