Listening to rain and trying to catch up with #authoramonth reading. Tagged book was the May author. It‘s a pretty fast read so maybe I can squeeze in the June author too.

Old Man's War | John Scalzi

I was skeptical at first since this a genre I don't particularly enjoy. Boy, I was wrong!

I highly enjoyed this book. It was fun and heartwarming. I chuckled at the funny parts and teared up for the MC's love his wife. Who would have thought I would enjoy a military sci-fi book?

I loved this. Funny and sarcastic and the plot flew. I didn‘t want it to end. I can totally see this being a hilarious TV show. 🐈🐬 #AuthorAMonth

This short story by this month‘s #AuthorAMonth is available for free on Amazon/Kindle. A quick read - not sure how much of a tone it sets regarding Scalzi‘s writing, he‘s totally new to me. Sci-fi and a bit dry for my taste. Expands on the concept of AI that feels believable & vaguely upsetting.

Texreader He‘s got so many great and fun books. I haven‘t read this one but I recommend reading more (like Starter Villain) to see what you think. I read Constituent Services about a week ago and loved it 2w
Melismatic @Texreader Starter Villain is my main pick for the month! I‘ll probably start it tomorrow. 💖 2w

This author was May‘s #AuthorAMonth pick and I‘m very glad that I read this book. It was excellent and I highly recommend it! The audiobook was fantastic. The story was by turns hilarious, poignant, and disturbing. A brilliant satire. 5/5 ⭐️

First of all, that cover! The librarian who checked out my book haul went 😻and said she was looking forward to reading it too.

It reminds me of the movie RED for the novice thrown into a crazy situation vibe, with a strong side of H2G2 for the (foul mouthed) dolphins. Fast paced, very readable, and not subtle commentary on extreme wealth. The author is also a good follow on social media.

“In a dog eat dog world…be a cat.”

Aims42 I suggested this for my IRL bookclub to read! I haven‘t read it but it‘s been on my TBR pile for a while. Ugh, now I might just read it without them since I don‘t know when they‘ll get around to selecting it 😆 2w
Ruthiella I thought this was fun. And I loved those potty mouth dolphins! 🐬😂 2w
