pickI‘m VERY late to the party for this #LSFBC #LitsySciFiBookclub and May #bookspin pick.
It took me three tries and several weeks to get past page 100. I almost dnf‘d this one. I‘m so glad I didn‘t. Once it clicked for me I really enjoyed it.

pan64/100 Several times I tried to get this book chosen for #LitsySciFiBookClub. I'm happy it was never picked, it is not a good book. I don't know if it's because its translated from Korean, or if it was the narrator's aloof, emotionless delivery, but I found this very dry. Whole chapters were just info dumps disguised as world building. There wasn't a single likable character to root for in the end. Luckily it's a short novel, 4 1/2 hour
so-so53/100 I did enjoy the world building and the unique alien species, but I found the ending disappointing and vague. I am assuming the author plans a sequel, because this was left too open to really qualify as a conclusion. Too many unanswered questions, too many dangling plot points. If there is a sequel, I'd probably read it just to see what happens to the friendroe. 3.5/5 #Read2025 #LitsySciFiBookClub
bailed#LitsySciFiBookClub #Read2025 This was not a case of me disliking the book. In fact, I think it was interesting and extremely well written. This is a case of having lost someone dear to me very recently, and deciding that it was not healthy for me to listen to this book. Actually, it was nearly 5 years ago, but I found myself ruminating on what it would be like if I could have a do over and I have stopped playing that head game with myself.
Here‘s my #bookspinbingo list for June. I probably won‘t have time to participate in all of the book clubs I want to participate in but I‘ll probably have time to participate in #litsyscifibookclub, #whimsicalreadsbookclub and the Wednesday Addams book club on Fable. I‘ve already started reading the ARC I need to read this month. It‘s good but I‘m not having fun reading it. I‘ve only read 51 pages. Maybe it‘ll get better. I don‘t know.
Here‘s the book clubs I‘m hoping to participate in this month as well as the June picks. I‘ll be able to read the books for #whimsicalreadsbookclub and #litsyscifibookclub and I‘ll be able to participate in the Wednesday Addams book club on Fable since the audiobook for Come Closer is only 3 hours. I‘m not sure I‘ll have time to participate in the other Fable book clubs even though they‘re all reading books I want to read.

I could sum this book up as an Indian Jones wanna be in a SciFi setting. I liked the idea but I thought the execution was all wrong. It felt like the characters rushed from one heist to the next with something always going wrong in between and yet it was too quickly resolved. I think less scenes and more time spent struggling to find a resolution would have worked better. I also thought some of the interactions between
It was a tie between Recursion and Mickey7. I've read both, so I didn't care either way. l tossed a coin (literally) and the winner is Recursion. If you guys want, we can read Mickey7 in July. Just let me know your thoughts.
