#NUYear #WhenMachinesRock
A brilliant book that was made into a stunning piece of theatre which i was lucky to see a few years ago. The creation of mechanical horses was amazing - if you haven't seen it I'd recommend and there wasn't a dry eye in our family outing.

Moray_Reads The play is incredible, pure theatre magic. Our whole row shook with the sobbing. Totally overwhelming. 6y

If you're into sci-fi, A.I., and heartbreak (this is a Jeff Lemire story after all) you might want to check out Descender!

These are the single issues that make up volume 5: Rise of the Robots. 🤘

Such a great series! 😍

Eyelit I‘m reading volume 5 this weekend and I‘m really looking forward to it! 6y
TrishB Great pic 👍🏻 6y

batsy Did you see this... Interesting, seems to be based on the book but the movie might be its own entity in a way https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/26/16936124/annihilation-area-x-shimmer-featuret... 6y
TrishB I best get reading the book! 6y
Cathythoughts @batsy yes just watched ??? I don‘t know if the movie is even coming to Ireland now - they say maybe Netflix ?? Not sure. 6y
Cathythoughts @batsy ( text went too soon) .... I don‘t care , I‘m fine with my own imagination for now. I have to read it again for my bookclub ! I‘m very ok with that too. 🎉. 6y
Cathythoughts @TrishB 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 6y

This book is about the beginnings of filmmaking and how magical it was. It‘s inspired by the true story of French pioneer filmmaker Georges Méliès, his surviving films, and his collection of mechanical, wind-up figures called ‘Automaton‘.

I don't really know much about steampunk but I know one of the editors of this book through Twitter and I'm glad I gave this a chance. A short story collection steeped in Southeast Asian history and mythology, featuring some rocking machines.

#NuYear #WhenMachinesRock I kind of like this series 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼I think book one was stronger than Waking Gods but still looking forward to book three....

Cathythoughts Very good ! This is a tricky one. I‘m heading out for the day & will not have any WiFi. Hopefully when I get home tonight I will have thought of a book for this one. Happy Saturday 👍🏻💫💫chat later 6y
Cinfhen Enjoy!! Hope u have a lovely day @Cathythoughts 6y
TrishB I have the first one on the tbr! I am trying to read series I‘m in the middle of before starting new ones. We‘ll see how that works!! 6y

emilyhaldi I wish I liked this one but it was definitely NOT for me 🙃 6y
ElleSkel I loved Sleeping Giants but I think Waking God's ended up as a DNF for me. I think the wait in between made it hard for me to get back into the story. I almost wish I hadn't started these till they were all finished so I could binge on them. 6y
Cinfhen I totally agree @Elle_Skeldon I was a bit disappointed with book two...maybe you should wait to start book one after book three is published @TrishB 6y
Cinfhen I liked the format of book one a lot @emilyhaldi and was definitely curious for book two but now I'm not as eager for book three...there were a lot of changes and suspension of belief that I sometimes find infuriating 🙄 6y
Reviewsbylola The first book was DNF early on and I never looked back 🤣 6y
DebinHawaii Definitely book one was better, stronger, in my opinion too--but I am looking forward to the third to see how it all ends up. 👍 6y
Cinfhen Yes, I actually just saw they posted the ARC for the final book on NetGalley @DebinHawaii 😉 6y
