Cold Eternity | S.A. Barnes

I look forward to every S.A. Barnes book. It‘s how I discovered sci-fi space horror and I‘m all in.
They are just so much fun. I should have tried them sooner as I‘m a big space monster movie fan.
This was a lot of fun; quite the ride. Perfect? No. But FUN. If anyone has any recs on books like this, please let me know below.
For those who have read this, I have a question in the comments.

MaleficentBookDragon What was with the damn button?!?! Was it just to wear her down mentally and physically? I also wanted more of Karl. He died too fast. 3w

candc320 I thought the same thing about the button! I think it was just a way to get people to the ship to do the “job” and then they have to walk around and be vulnerable for the monster. Also, I assumed Karl would actually be an AI or just not on the ship, so I was a little disappointed he was just working for Zane. 3w

MaleficentBookDragon @candc320 I was thinking Karl was going to be some Frankenstein type doctor using the bodies in the tanks to make a monster or something. I wanted more of him and from him. I also really thought Niina was going to get away somehow and show up at the end. She would be an amazing villain in a second book. The end seemed rushed when we finally got there. I still loved this one though. 3w

candc320 I agree completely! 3w

Kitta I was just thinking about your book blanket haha 3w

RosePressedPages I definitely agree! I wish the suspense and dread had been built up a little more too. Once the big reveal happened, there wasn‘t very much time spent really fleshing it out. Sometimes I feel like Barnes shies away from committing to the horror she creates but I did think this one was very fun. Some space horrors I‘ve found so far are Paradise-1, Scourge Between Stars, Salvation Day, Contagion, We Have Always Been Here, and Ship of Fools. (edited) 3w

MaleficentBookDragon @RosePressedPages Thank you! I'm going to check those out. 3w

I fell a little behind on my #bookblanket with getting ready for vacation and then actually being on vacation. But here it is after completing the stripes to the end of April.
I am also now caught up to today right now, so at least that's one thing checked off of my to-do list

TheBookHippie Looks lovely!!! 1mo

Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man) | Jesse Q Sutanto

pick

This was a super cute, quick and fun read.
My only complaint is the overuse of eye rolling 🙄 mentioned every other paragraph for a bit. It was noticeable enough it actually took me out of the story.
I wish more of the old gang were in it, but it would have gotten too crowded; and the new characters were great.
I recommend this, especially if you liked the first one. #bookcover #grannysquare #readingblanket2025 #bookblanket

Caterina I'm so intrigued by your granny square reading blanket, but it sounds dangerously tempting - I'd need quite the array of yarn to try it out, and I already have too much! 🫣 I hope you post a finished pic at the end of the year! 1mo

Strange Pictures | Uketsu

pick

I really enjoyed this book. The picture puzzles were intriguing & the twists compelling. I sped through this book. I would have finished it in one go if I didn‘t have to work. 😁 I hate to use the word “fun” because there are some really bleak moments in this book, but it WAS fun to read.
Didn‘t have the perfect green, and it was a lighter weight so I added an additional round, but I still like this #grannysquare for my #bookblanket #doublespin

Kills Well with Others | Deanna Raybourn

While this was not as good as the first one it still was delightful fun. I wish we could get books from the other women‘s perspectives, especially Nat; to me Billie is not as interesting as some of the others.

JamieArc I am listening to this now. I agree - the different women as narrators would make for a great series. 2mo

Wife Between Us | Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks

This was an okay short story. It was my #kindlefirst free pick for this month. I do like the square I made for it for for my #bookblanket though! 😁

Butterfinger @Sace I love them too. 3mo

peaKnit I think I‘m going to try this too. I did a temperature blanket last year, this would be a major scrap buster! I love yours! (edited) 3mo

Gissy Have you made a knitted booksleeve? I saw them in Instagram and they are so lovely. I am so bad in doing craft but I wish I could learn to do a booksleeve 😳, do you think is too complicated for a beginner? 3mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Gissy I made a crocheted one a few years back and it wasn‘t too difficult. If you are on Ravelry, I made a list of bookish patterns that I liked. There are sleeves in it. https://ravel.me/ChelleRydz/3ladtr 3mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Gissy this one looks pretty basic https://ravel.me/book-sleeve-2 3mo

Gissy @MaleficentBookDragon thank so much! They look so pretty 😍 3mo
