Week-long Readathon! So sorry you're not well, Alannah. Blankets and Hot Toddies!
Fri 23rd == 18pgs
A Fire Upon the Deep
a re-read. I enjoyed this book the first time 'round, despite the violence, and despite the fact that he kills off all my favorite characters. I do love the aliens and the world building. The violence still makes me sick.
Sat 24th == 40pgs
Wai! I love Greenstalk so much. She's not dead, but severely injured and has inadvertently betrayed "the good guys". I despise Pham (one of the "good guys").
Yes, I knew it was coming. But it's still heart rending to me.
Sun 25th == 40pgs
Johanna has decided to be nice, and there's a sweet scene of her and Scrupilo.
Mon 26th == 54pgs
Some of Greenstalk's injuries are basically like a stroke, but she confronted her betrayal, along with her species betrayal, head on. Oh she made me cry for all of her people. And I will never get over my hatred of Pham.
Tues 27th == 55 pages
Space war for the good guys, but it's just disguised violence. why am I reading this??
Wed 28th == 110 pages
Finished. Blueshell's sacrifice to prove to everyone that his species betrayal didn't have a hold on him... made me cry a lot. I didn't remember that Pham died at the end... good riddance!
Now, what to read tomorrow? (I will not continue the series!)
Thurs 29th == 44pages
Planetfall
I just paged thru my samples until I hit one that sounded science fictiony! laughs. Main character has anxiety, so that's a bit disconcerting because she sounds a lot like my brain. :| And the god thing sounds misplaced in a scifi book, we'll have to see how that plays out!
Fri 30th == 120pages
Yep, I'm engaged! ha. And oh lordy! It's a cult that has travelled to this other planet... and it's just as awful as it sounds, with the non-believing leaders manipulating the people with superstitious lies. And apparently we don't have mental health services in the future, either. gah.
Sat 31st == 55 pages
The mental health problems are taking a center stand, and they are interesting... and have me questioning some stuff in my own day to day life. But I'm so curious about this god thing. Will those questions be answered??
