Welcome to Litsy!

This was my least favourite installment of this series. It was a bit too technical and had lost the charm of earlier books

Still a great read

1. THIS jazz album: https://robrennie.bandcamp.com/album/heading-north (It‘s 7 original songs written by the pianist from my husband‘s big band and combo. And that‘s my husband on sax. I‘m biased, yes—but they‘re fantastic musicians, it sounds amazing, and I‘m SO proud. You can listen at the link above and/or treat yourself to a download!)
2. Birthday date with my husband (movie, sushi, ice cream, and great conversation)

Book 2 is on hold through Libby but I like this series so much I jumped to #3.

The Murderbot series is relatable, not overly technical and a lot of fun.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

More Murderbot!!

Mensah is in trouble and Murderbot (a bot programmed to protect clients and kill those who attempt to hard them) uses its free will to decide to help.

Dry humour & science fiction, I love this series so much.

#lgbtqia2025 as Murderbot sorta counts as asexual? @Kenyazero

February was a pretty bad reading month for me, as I had the stomach flu and could barely watch TV, let alone read. Earlier in the month I did read this awesome queer feminist Japanese thriller though. It has an incredible twist as well as a great open-ended ending. Still though, my heart is with Murderbot, so my January pick goes on to the next bracket. #BookBracket2025 #Murderbot

More Hazel trying to get my attention!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this MurderBot story! Lots of fast paced action, emotion, and sarcasm. What a great series, already placed a hold for the next one at the library.

These brackets always look so fun, so I'm joining in this year! Thanks @CSeydel for this cute graphic for #BookBracket2025. I loved all three of the #Murderbot books I read in January, but decided on Network Effect as my favourite. It really put Murderbot through the wringer, being kidnapped by its old friend ART who had been infiltrated by an alien remnant virus and needed its SecUnit expertise to get its crew back. As you do with old friends.

Murderbot, you've grown so much! All the accolades to Kevin R Free, whose majestic #audiobook performance is absolutely perfect. He IS Murderbot, as far as I'm concerned. Can't wait til the next one!

In memory of @sharread I will be listening to the tagged book. She had the first one of the Murderbot series on her TBR. I think she would have liked it.

I sped through the first 4 novellas in December so I could read this one for #AuldLangSpine and this series is so fun! I decided to go with the dramatized adaptations and I think they make me relate to Murderbot even more.

And ART was back for this novel! Yay! 4⭐️
