Yes, I did not like it as much as I hoped. It was frustrating to see her constantly holding back. And the dogs. But by the end it was obvious why she had held back. The next day I felt better about it but it was not a fun watch for me.
Exciting new urban fiction anthology: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...If anyone sees this on NetGalley please let me know!
A little something for next year -
Unless it’s a YA
Oh yes
Oh yes they would. I read about half of Frank Herbert’s The White Plague where women were going extinct. One of the last ones was kept hermetically sealed. Now I want to know how it ended. I misplaced the physical book.

I’m 13% in. Gideon the Ninth is Chronicles of Riddick with a slap of trashy Dune, all that I like. BUT it’s also a YA Mean Girls Cinderella and that is not going down well. Is it going to be hundreds of pages of Gideon being screwed over by Harrow?
Moira Quirk is my favorite British narrator.
The Decide Machine by Justin Coates ★★★½☆
A bumpy start leads to an epic battle in this Lovecraftian ode to Pacific Rim.
Ground Zero by Kirsten Cross ★★★☆☆ Special forces verses Dracula, his lieutenant, and various taints. Taint is a hell of word to use for a vampire. In American, besides meaning something undesirable/polluted, it also refers to the space between a man’s balls and his asshole. There, now that’s a thing you know.
Finished The Einstein Intersection: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Well, better luck next time for me.
I’m halfway through Intersection, it’s a post-apocalyptic future primitive story with mutants. It’s been unpleasant:“Once, when I was on fair terms with him, he gave me one of his daughters. Butchered and dressed her himself. Fresh meat is scarce in town.”
Not feeling the award winning value here.
I’m almost done with Trail and I’m enjoying it but the backstory was weak. Native American X-Men is great idea but there is suppose to be a catalyst for impossible powers. It’s explained as clan gifts but why now and not then? I just rolled with it and, for better or worse, by the halfway point it just felt like an other urban fiction world.
Venom 2: https://youtu.be/jBdITUKG-wsI still need to see the first one.
In case you somehow forgot what an incredible actor James McAvoy was: https://youtu.be/Qz_813qNrtg
I finished Babel-17! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My next offering is 2019 Locus Award Winner for First Novel, Trail of Lightning.
