Is that you, Moriarty? The game is afoot.

When Netgalley sends you a preapproved ARC even though you've been too busy to read for a whole year: oh hell yeah

O...Kay... author is on drugs

The problem with reading hard sf is that I get very judgy when fake/wrong science gets passed off as real. Been doing a lot of googling and was so far pleased by most of the cosmic facts turning up true, until this mentioning of Monte Carlo ruined it. I've never heard anyone describe Monte Carlo like that and I'm pretty sure it's wrong. You don't COVER a shape with dots to find its area! That's called pixel art :/

The random insertions of historical figures are fun and, surprisingly, quite grounded. I like how their models of the universe match the namesake person's worldview.

After being asked too many times "have you not read The Three Body Problem?", I'm finally getting to it!

RJB's books always start a bit slow for me, and this one is no exception, but wow when things start they really do start! The clever clues! The twist after twist! This is getting really fun.

Is literally everyone reading Monstress today or is Goodreads bugging? (It'd better be a bug or I'll have to find out which book club it is that apparently 99% of my friends belong to...)

Happy New Year everyone, cheers to a great 2023!!

Is it just me or does murderbot sound more like a girl than a guy? The audiobook feels so strange to me, being narrated by a male voice...

This book dragged a little at the beginning, but now I can't put it down...

Wondering if I should read The Lions of Al-Rassan before this to get a better understanding of the world. The blurb of that book didn't interest me as much though. Suggestions anyone?

Ooh, does anyone else get an assasin's creed vibe from this book? With the part about blending into the crowd to make oneself unnoticeable and jumping off the roof of a building... That book cover is totally not a coincidence!

This book gives me a very similar feel to The Night Circus. Well written and all, but doesn't quite resonate with me the right way.

I miss the book world so much now that I finally caught up with the show! The adaptation wasn't bad, I just can't help feeling the crows lost their souls in the netflix version. Jesper was good, but I want the real Kaz and Inej back!
