#Day5 I walked on my morning break and then again when I got home. Total time is recorded above. Still working on my second audio book Exit Strategy. Five days down and 37 left to go. I am hoping by the time the challenge ends the exercising will be a habit and I will keep going. 🤞

#Day4

I was busy with family stuff Sunday and didn't get a walk in so I did a little extra today. This is a combination of walking on my morning and afternoon breaks at work. Then a brisk walk with my dogs after work. I think I am going to break down and get a fitness tracker to record steps and distance. I completed A Conjuring of Light and started on Exit Strategy

“I was having an emotion, and I hate that.”

Book 4. I love these novellas more and more as the Murderbot Diaries series goes on, perhaps because they form a larger narrative arc. And Murderbot is such a great character: a genderless AI security unit gone rogue, who prefers to be left alone to watch tv dramas, but can‘t help being drawn into situations where humans require help. Kevin R Free narrates the addictive first-person-voice #audiobooks.

I tagged one of the six different audiobooks I listened to while knitting this shawl. #knittersofLitsy

I just love this series and saw that there is a novel in the works to be published in 2020. I can‘t wait.

I feel a little better finishing this book knowing Wells is working on a full novel. Murderbot is such a great character. This final novella brings his story full circle. Even as he is becoming somewhat comfortable existing along humans, he never loses that special, antisocial anxious something that makes him unique.

Ending the month on a high note. After a bit of a slow start this novella ended up being a very satisfying ending to the series (or at least ending for now). I am definitely a member of the Muderbot fan club.

Another action packed instalment of the Murderbot series. Full circle - a reunion with Dr. Mensah and the gang. I 🖤 Murderbot

What can I say? It was an excellent wrap-up to an excellent series. I‘m seriously going to miss Murderbot and how fricking alike we are. They are truly amazing.

If you haven‘t read the series and you enjoy AI narratives, especially when the AI is a severely socially awkward and sarcastic badass, then give this series a go. The first book is All Systems Red.

#sciencefiction #murderbotdiaries

I love Murderbot.

Good day at the library!

I broke down and bought a Kindle because the Sony had some issues, alas. It's waterproof so I don't have to worry about dropping it in the bath!

Also, I love Muderbot!

Wonderful conclusion to an excellent series! I‘m going to miss Murderbot. Had put this one off just because I didn‘t want it to end 💔

Overall, I really enjoyed the Murderbot series. My favorite episodes were 1 & 3. But, this was a satisfying conclusion. #MountTBR

I love this series. I think it has something for any sci-fi fan—space, technology, human/emotional elements, fun action sequences, and of course, Murderbot. Highly recommend.

The conclusion to the Murderbot diaries, sees everything wrapped up neatly and concluded very satisfactorily. It was fast, action filled as usual and full of the emotional wit and awkwardness that marks these books as really unique and refreshing.

One of my #bookishresolutions2019 is to finish series I started in 2018. And I finished my first series of the year! I might have cheated a little and chosen the series of novellas and not chunksters, but it‘s important to feel successful at the start of a new goal, right? 🤣

This is my first book of 2019. Is part of my #readingwomen2019 it fit in multiple categories so I am not sure in which one I will put it. Is the last book at the moment in this series and yes I love #murderbot and I was glad to see some characters I like it more the other books #bookly

All the loose ends pull together in this tense installment that wraps up the story arc started in “All Systems Red”... will GrayCris be held accountable, will Murderbot find a permanent home, can the company be trusted to uphold its agreements, it‘s all up in the air until the last page as Murderbot faces challenges that test even her ever evolving skills.

I picked up a dog-walking gig on my winter break. Spending time with these two is a fair tradeoff for not getting to sleep in as much.

I ❤ Murderbot! "I was having an emotion, and I hate that." Poor Murderbot.
I love this entire series. So looking forward to the new full length novel even though I have to wait until 2020.

I used to love Murderbot. Exit Strategy just didn't work for me. The plot seemed simpler and more thin than those in the prior three installments and it didn't hold my interest until the last quarter or so when the Murderbot reunites with friends from a past mission. Frankly, I was bored during a large part of this book and was close to checking out all together. But I'm a completist and I trudged on as is my nature. The ending was satisfying.

More than any of the previous books, this functions less as a stand-alone story and more as a part of the overarching narrative. Still it's a thrilling and satisfying conclusion, and you'll likely breeze through the rest of the series fast enough that the pacing will work for you. Sure hope this isn't the last we've seen of these characters.

Great finish (kind of) to the series. It finishes the story line but it leaves open possible new adventures. I am not sure how I feel about that 🤔. The story sagged a bit for me in the third book, but the fourth book really brought it home

It seems the humans in outer space are all fromNYC👍❤️❤️❤️

I have found a new favorite author and series!! I love Murderbot Bot and can not wait until her next book comes out. The series of novellas is smart, fun and so engaging. All the 🌟!! Listened to these on Scribd. Has anyone else read Martha Wells...any recommendations on where to go next with her work?

If you want to read about a robot wanting to be a human, do not read this book. If you want to read about a sentient-being fight for freedom and independence (their own and others), you should read this book. I loved it.

I absolutely loved this quartet of novellas. Murderbot is definitely someone I'd spend time with even if it didn't really want to!

The story makes you think about the definition of intelligence. It's a fun read with interesting social commentary.

My only complaint is that this could have been a book rather than 4 quick installments. At $10 a pop that makes for a $40 novel... I library-ed these.

Not surprisingly...I have started the next Murderbot novella. I am listening to the series on Scribd.

The last one ☹️ I'll miss you Murderbot!

Martha Wells ties it all together in this latest chapter of The Murderbot Diaries. Murderbot confronts his past and takes in his corporate nemesis in this fast paced, exciting and surprisingly emotional chapter. I devoured this audiobook in one gulp, and it kept me engaged to the very end. Wells places an unique spin on Murderbot who seeks to be an individual but not necessarily human. Narrator Kevin R. Free gives a fully realized performance.

The conclusion of the Murderbot diaries was alright. I like these books but don‘t love them. It‘s the writing. The author is prolific but not poetic.

My friend sent me this panoramic puzzle of great women authors. I suppose that may be why I‘m so snobby about Martha Wells right now. 🤓🤖

Once again, Martha Wells has made us feel the tension of our beloved Murderbot as it struggles with its own uncomfortable emotions while simultaneously saving those stupid humans again. I'm a little sad this series is over, but man was it a blast.

I'm 36 today, and to celebrate, I'm sitting outside in this amazing weather with my favorite beer and the final book in one of my favorite series. ♥️

Murderbot is my favorite AI robot of all time. Love the snarkiness and sarcasm along with the moments when he realizes that sometimes emotions suck. This conclusion to the series is just as action packed as the first three, and wraps everything up well. Highly recommend these novellas.

I ❤️ Murderbot so much. It‘s so sassy and sarcastic and fun. I‘m sad that this series has ended, but it‘s a satisfying ending. Also the author has a full-length Murderbot novel coming up and I cannot wait!

As always it‘s wonderful to travel with Murderbot on it‘s journey to become a person and find some time to watch it‘s shows.

Murderbot has my heart forever (but don't tell it, it will think that's pretty gross). If you haven't read this quartet of novellas yet, you really should.

I have trouble peopling too Murderbot

Murderbot how I‘ve missed you...

If you‘ve read the first three books in this series, you don‘t need me to tell you how awesome they are. If you haven‘t read them, go do so and then read this one. Then one complaint I have about this book is that it‘s the end 😢

Murderbot is the best!!! Seriously, read this series!!!!

I'm so excited! But also kind of sad it's ending. 😔
