Finished Kane by Dick Wybrow
last night, and while I loved the idea of a wolf/dog getting bitten by a man and the chaos that would create, it didn't happen. But there were still a few funnies.I rounded up my rating to 3 Stars

Just finished The Never-Ending End of the World by Ann Christy
The main idea of this story, looping, was very creative. Too bad the ending wasn't that great.
3 star read

I finished Fearless by M.W. Craven
, and this one is violent! It's not bad, but there's A LOT of killing. I was expecting sci-fi, but that is not what this is! Give me werewolves and vampires. They aren't real monsters, humans are.It was still a good read, but not for anyone under 21.

Good job on the ratio, sometimes it's hard to keep. I myself am fluctuating between 80 and 82. I just finished my July books, (still need to review one) so I'm taking the rest of the month off to read a couple of books I've bought.
Welcome to the fun!

I know reading slumps can be hard, but a whole lot of fun once you get out!

Hi

and this was NOTHING like Murderbot! except it was a short story but it was boring. 1 starhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Just finished Citadel by C.M. Alongi
and I liked it. Wasn't perfect, 3 stars, but it was very well done. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just got done with Shadows of the Lost by Maxym M. Martineau
and it was porn... and a spin-off of another series... Nowhere in the blurb did it say these things, if they had, I wouldn't have requested it. I only gave it two stars because of those reasons and the MCs each had their own pity party for 50% of the book, but the 10% of story did have potential.

Just finished Witch King by Martha Wells
and it does not compare at all with Murderbot! 2 Stars

Just finished The Blighted Stars
and was disappointed. I was expecting more action. 2 Starshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Finished The Lost War, (a re-publication)
the other day, and while the story was good, it didn't move at a quick pace... 3 Starshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished The Sword Defiant
and it started off great, then......https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just got approved also, and I listened to the Murderbot Diaries, and loved them, but wished they were longer, but I highly recommend them.
I'm looking forward to reading Witch King, but it's 3rd down.
Finished The Ferryman by Justin Cronin
earlier this week, and I didn't like it so I didn't want to write a review, but I got it done early this morning. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Antimatter Blues by Edward Ashton
3 Starshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Camp Zero by Michelle Min Sterling
1 Starhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This Delicious Death by Kayla Cottingham
3 Starshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished City of Nightmares
by Rebecca Schaeffer. Not as good as her Market of Monsters series, which was delightfully disturbing. The idea/story/plot of this one was great, but it's in first person and the MC was too whiny of a character. At 7% I was already irritated with her.
A little less whiny and I could've given more stars.
