Emergency vet waiting / reading. 😕
so-soAn old fashioned rollicking space adventure with twists that had been rehashed both before and after this plot line. Classic Sci-fi feels fragile like bakelite, is rife with no-dos and wince material, but there is enough fun here to warrant the listen.

pickA grieving daughter‘s search for her mother becomes a journey across alternate realities in this dazzling new thriller from the author of The Shining Girls that is "sheer thrilling madness with a big, beating heart that reminds us we're all connected" (Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author).

pickI've heard about this book for years - "one of the best sci-fi books of all time", "the inspiration for apocalyptic and zombie books", etc. So I went in with pretty high hopes for it and was completely engrossed by it.
It was written in 1951, so there's a bit of misogyny from the main character, but the things he predicted and just how many books/movies it inspired is enough for it to be a must read.
Plus, who doesn't love killer plants?
pickAbout ten years ago I read Leviathan Wakes, the first in this series. I did not keep up with the subsequent books, but I kept thinking about the characters from the first book. This year the hosts of the podcast Book Reviews Kill decided to read the series. I decided it was time to tackle it as well. Nine books, all of them over 500 pages, and I finished! I loved each book, and I will miss the Rocinate crew!
Omigosh, the only thing I really love about old school sci fi is when things become true!! This is just spot on from 1953!!!
