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
pickDelightful. A robot crashes on an island and finds her heart when she becomes a mother to a gosling. The movie is excellent as well, but there‘s a sweetness in the book. Each chapter is a new adventure and challenge. Both my 6 & 9-year-olds loved it. We‘re excited to try the next book in the series since there‘s a bit of a cliffhanger.
Next up! I know I can blame summer camp discussions on picking up this one. I even pitched it to my book club 😬😱😳 which I am sure half of the group is displeased. #ohwell #bookclubrecfear Raise your hand if you, too, fear the wrath of poor book choices?!?! 🙋🏻♀️
bailedThe writing is great. The story was meh. I could see the humor in the programming reduncies, but it just didn't capture my interest. It got very repetitive very fast. Honestly, it kept putting me to sleep, so I gave up on forcing it.
Another book checked off the #14books14weeks pile @Liz_M
so-soThis is another collection of short stories about robots in society in the I, Robot series. What‘s interesting about these stories, is that they are mostly magazine style shorts. Which Asimov would describe, himself, prior to each story. The stories themselves didn‘t really strike me as hard as the first book did, though they were still fun reads. Still worth a read if you like the original story world.
Daniel Wilson is one of the contemporary greats of evil machines & bk 2 in the Robopocalypse Series looks very promising, esp. with the rise of AI the past few years since I read book 1.
