I may have bought a couple of other books while in the shop today. The premise is interesting, but the teapot on the cover pushed me over the edge.

pickA wonderful second book in the series. We watch Roz in the role she was created for as a helper to humans on a farm. We watch her fight to return to her son. And my favorite part, we get to meet her designer! Excited to read the next book in the series.
I came for the monk-robot meet-cute and stayed for the robot philosophy lesson. The purpose of life: just existing. Such a beautiful story in which once the robots became self-aware, humanity allowed the robots self-determination and while learning to exist without robots, man learned to live in harmony with all creatures and eco-systems.
Short novellas seem to be my vibe as I‘m still organizing the house after the move. A robot and unsatisfied monk: yes please.
pickOkay. OKAY! Did I almost tear up 😢 at the end and then laugh at myself for it? Yep.
#TeamBrittle and even some #TeamMadKind❗️
I just like the term “madkind”, I think. #bookclub #scifi #existentialism
NOTE: the narrator is a woman, female, so to me Brittle is she/her. Does it matter?
Not in the database, but the special short story made available after the Apple TV season of Murderbot wrapped up is delightful. It‘s just too short. It‘s a teeny taste of the world I‘ve come to love through these books and I‘m greedy for more.
pickFirst I enjoyed Dex's & Mosscap's conversations about existence & identity. This has been described as "cozy sci-fi" which I think is very apt. But I could have used more world- building & plot. Also I loved the descriptions of Dex's wagon, the towns in Panga, & the tea "ceremony" itself but I was invested in their journey to becoming a successful tea monk & felt short changed that we're just told it took two years & lots of experimentation. ?♀️
The morning is chilly (which is awesome because that means it isn't hot), the tea IS hot, and the book has a catchy first line that's already pulling me in. I ❤️ weekends #BackPorchReading
pickThis series is very cool, heartfelt and humorous. A robot with a conscience that doesn‘t want to murder people but just be left alone to watch its favourite TV shows. I think I will continue the journey by switching to the TV series as I think it‘s something I would enjoy visually and I‘ve heard it‘s been adapted very well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
