Surprised me!

Future aliens trash Earth & what‘s left of humanity escapes into space. They give up TECH to remain hidden. Reset the clock & 800 years later an AI awakens to help humanity without being dismantled as a demon, welcome to 5th century England.

Church & royalty & an Android presented as Merlin.

The book gets better and better until I couldn‘t put the last 25% down. On a ship & not a space ship. Bring on the poop deck!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

A spontaneous audio download because my local library has suddenly added the whole series to the catalogue. This was a really fun blast from the past. Ticked all my nostalgia boxes.

Flowers for Algernon | Daniel Keyes

My son has to read this for 7th grade English this year, so I decided to read it since I haven‘t before. It‘s different than I expected. More sex & alcohol—especially for a Louisiana school, but I like the premise & arc of the story. Not going to mention the sex parts to my 12 y.o. before he reads it—I‘ll ask him about it when he‘s at those parts. He has to read it next quarter. Brave teacher to assign this & wonder if other parents have read it.

Ruthiella I read this in 7th grade too! Made me cry. 2h

The Rocky Horror Picture Show | Richard O'Brien, Barry Bostwick, Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Jim Sharman

❤️🖤 Hot patootie, bless my soul 🖤❤️

I am ashamed to admit that I watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time tonight, but the fact that I enjoyed it should matter more, right?

I've never seen Tim Curry in a bad role - I love that he embraces everything about his characters! This one was no exception. Now, expect me to hum the Time Warp for the foreseeable future.

dabbe I've been watching him on repeat every day! Back in high school (a long time ago), I was lucky enough to see it in the theater where we acted out the parts. One of the best memories that I have of those days. Tim Curry is just the baddest ass! 🧡🎃🧡 5h

The Black God's Drums | P. Djeli Clark

4/5⭐ The lush world and vibrant characters of this alternate history New Orleans sing. Clark plops you down in it alongside Creeper and makes you feel like you've been there all your life. I loved the way the orishas came into play and how it all coalesced into a beautiful, powerful climax. The audiobook narrator really brought the characters to life. #roll100
