#ReadAway2024#SeriesLove2024

Finished this on Sunday, it‘s my 2nd book for April #Roll100 (Book #100 which was “Any Kindle Unlimited”) I‘m glad I finally got around to reading it, it‘s just a very introspective cozy science-fiction/fantasy story. A quick read that I wanted to take my time with. I could relate to Dex‘s existential crisis & how they wondered what they were doing while they kept doing it & of course Mosscap is delightful.🍵🤖🤍⬇️

DebinHawaii A favorite quote:
“…because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don‘t need to justify that, or even earn it. You are allowed to just live. That is all most animals do.”
Looking forward to Book 2!

I'm rubbish at remembering individual short stories, so allow me to present 3 of my favourite short story collections...

1) The Complete Robot (Asimov)
2) The Thirteen Problems (Christie)
3) Someone who will love you in all your damaged glory (Bob-Waksberg)

Thanks for the tag @The_Penniless_Author

Book 3 in series. The first book remains the best.

Roz goes on a mission to save her island from the poison tide. Although she met me friends along the way, I enjoy her interactions with her island friends most.

In the afterword the author claims to not want this book to be preachy/moralistic but it is a smidge.

I was in the mood for this. Dystopian … western … rebel robots in midwestern wasteland after the last human dies. I love when human characteristics pop up. Fun book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Reggie I loved this book so much. And I loved Brittle. I‘m gonna read the prequel later this year. 2mo
Twainy @Reggie the audio was so good! 😁 2mo

This book is often labeled cozy or literary embrace, but as it lacks a conflict or moral dilemma, it is simply dull. The worldbuilding is incomplete and unclear, and for me it hints at a population manipulated by a dictatorship maintaining specific social order #told_by_a_woman #bookclub

Just the right mix of self-aware and silly. Made me smile. Glad to see the series is continuing.

Feels like a classic! Beautiful slim novel following a shipwrecked robot just trying to make sense of the world and make friends. Thanks for the recommendations here on Litsy, and I‘ll be sure to recommend this to my middle schoolers. 💗🤖🪿🌲

I can only imagine how futuristic and ahead of its time this sounded when first published. AI and robots becoming free-thinkers? We‘ve seen a burst of AI books hit the shelves over the past few years (or it seems that way to me), so I decided to read the one that‘s been sitting on mine for years. And I loved it.

Aimeesue That cover is absolutely perfect. 🩶 3mo
Kristy_K I know! I found it back when Book Depository was around and I wish I would have bought the rest of Aimov‘s books when I had the chance. 3mo
Readerann I was surprised at how much I liked this! 3mo
Kristy_K @Readerann Same, I didn‘t think I would enjoy it as much as I did! 3mo
