I love her writing

837. The Big Payoff

My review of The Big Payoff by Janice Law (Anna Peters #1). Not my favorite book of the year but still entertaining espionage spy thriller. 2.5 stars

Entering the realm of Sci Fi next with another new author for me, The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge

I agree with everything that's been said. Some of our Conservative (and I use that word loosely) provinces are now starting to ban books. I think it's disgusting. They don't want kids to be educated, free thinkers, exposed to the world and to differing ideas. They want to keep them uneducated and close-minded. Reading broadens your horizons, opens your mind, encourages thought.

Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells (Murderbots #3)

It was excellent!

Yay! Congrats Kristin and Jan!

Finished Fatale Compendium by Ed Brubaker which combines a complete series but it's 656 pages so I think that qualifies as a tome. 3.5 stars

14. A character driven novel. Fatale Compendium by Ed Brubaker Josephine is the character but it's so much more than that, but she influences everything and everyone. 3.5 stars

Quite agree, Alondra. It took me awhile to get into it, but once I did, just loved it.
