#SITS #staycationintimeswap @Blerdgal_Fenix I love how you wrapped the books and tucked all the little treasures inside. The books are perfect for my time travel theme. One time travel Murder Mystery / Thriller and a Sci-Fi Romance. I can't wait to read them.
@DinoMom @Chrissyreadit you guys are the best. Thank you for hosting again this year!

Fiction: fantasy, sci fi, contemporary/historical, crime, horror
pickI read this book slowwww, which definitely hurt my over all interest. I really liked Hayt (Aka Duncan Ghola) and Alia. Even if the jihad is clearly a speeding train of totalitarian religious authoritarianism, it‘s hard to empathize with the conspirators at all. I am not sure if I‘ll read further in the series, but I‘m happy I read this one before another movie is made. #scifi #classic #lessdrythanDuneLITERALLY
Hi everyone!! Sorry I've been MIA lately, my phone finally decided to crap itself and die, so I've been disconnected for the last week or so. I hope everyone was able to find a copy of Foundation and enjoyed it for June's selection. Just a reminder that July's #ClassicLSFBC selection of Roger Zelazny's classic novel, Lord of Light. It's one of my favorite science fiction novels and I'm excited to reread it after several years.

2 print (both novellas)
My pick for June is Murder By Memory. I wish the next one was available. Also, Who Will Save Your Soul? was crazy fun and gross. I picked up The Stand again and that is most of what I read in June. Still not finished, lol.
pick5/5
Four robots wake up in the restaurant where they work, to learn they've been shut down for six months and are at serious risk of being repoed after their scammer boss fled the country. Now, these robots have an opportunity to make something of their own, in a world that isn't always accepting of robots. I really loved this cozy sci-fi about community that touches on serious topics global warming, war, trauma, and prejudice.

So, my #BookSpin is Hereticus, volume 3 of Eisenhorn's adventures. And my #DoubleSpin is a tragic story, because I wanted to order volume 8 of the Dune series, which you see displayed in this picture, but the German edition is out of stock. And no used copy far and wide. So what am I going to do about my bookshelf?! I'm in shock right now.

pickFast read! Sci-fi cozy mystery with humor, warmth, and flair—I gulped this one down in one day. Love it and can‘t wait for the next installment of Detective Dorothy Gentleman.
June 2025 Reads: 8 books. Mostly thrillers that are tense and mysterious. I really liked Old Man‘s War. My least favorite was Polybius.
pickOooo I like this…
Was not planning on starting another series but here we are!😂
Am AI robot hacks its own system and becomes a free agent, these are its stories👏🏻
