Like all professional sailors, Holden had sometimes ended long flights by drinking himself into a stupor. More than once he'd wandered into a brothel and left only when they threw him out with an emptied account, a sore groin, and a prostate as dry as the Sahara desert.

Bro. TMI.

"Don't come back here, Detective," he said, and walked away into the crowd.
Miller took another drink of his beer, frowning. An uncomfortable feeling of having made the wrong step fidgeted in the back of his mind.

...

Too bad he can't load a previous save and choose a different conversation option, ha.

Ummm yup. First instinct was correct.



Starting this was a bad idea.

Maaaan, the cover pulled me in but then I remembered this is the author that wrote that New Romancer garbage series.

But ...

I want to read this anyway.

Red Skull would definitely be a Trump supporter.

#SayNoToHYDRACap So ... yeah. Now I HAVE to read this.

Ok, I'm kind of in love with this book because of these references:


Peggy Sue Got Married is one of my favorite movies.

Uhhhh
...
wut

What comic series should a read next? I'm getting kind of burned out on DC/superheroes in general.

I'm really enjoying how character-driven this is.

He slipped forward, pressed his lips to hers. She kissed back, politely at first and then with more warmth. Her fingers cupped his neck for a moment, then pulled him away.
"You're entirely too good at that. You should go now," she said. "On duty and all."

Woah woah woah. A bit of romance already? In a scifi book by a dude?

Ok, the prologue definitely got my attention.

Ha, see, this is why I don't guess! Totally thought the space next to Jack was a red herring because I thought that was too easy. Oh well.

I normally don't like to try to guess things but I'm gonna take a stab at it ... I bet Loriel was pointing west.

Someone else just got murdered and we find out her door was in her bedroom at home the whole time.

That's just really, really sad. : (

Wow.
Was not expecting such a gruesome murder.

"Hope hurts. That's what you need to learn, and fast, if you don't want it to cut you open from the inside out. Hope is bad. Hope means you keep on holding to things that won't ever be so again, and so you bleed an inch at a time until there's nothing left."

This has a bit of an American Horror Story: Coven feel to it.

Raising her hand to shield her eyes, the girl looked toward the manor, pausing when she saw the sign that hung from the porch eaves. ELEANOR WEST'S HOME FOR WAYWARD CHILDREN it read, in large letters. Below, in smaller letters, it continued ɴᴏ sᴏʟɪᴄɪᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ, ɴᴏ ᴠɪsɪᴛᴏʀs, ɴᴏ ǫᴜᴇsᴛs.

Alright, time to finish this.

Please tell me I'm not the only one in love with Roshar.

This is the type of book that's easy to read quickly, but you won't want to.

Ok ... Let's see how this ends ...

They keep mentioning bitcoins and I have to wonder how soon that will seem obsolete. Not sure why they've even included that to begin with.

New creative team! I really enjoy Buccellato and Manapul's Flash volumes so I'm looking forward to this.

From what I gather, this is a standalone title. And for once I wish it was a series instead.

"Of course," he said. "They're delighted to learn you were playing the yokel only to set up an elaborate mockery of the first person who took your bait. That makes you part of the game."

Oooh, now I'm getting some DAI vibes.

(I wonder if Novik plays video games ...)

His scarf had sagged down from his face: it was the friendly young soldier with the broken nose who'd led my horse to water. He reached out with a knife drawn, sharp and bright silver, and he caught the head of the man riding in front of him and cut his throat in one deep red gash from side to side.

I know it doesn't fit exactly, but the walkers remind me of leshen.

She's definitely ... talented? Lol.
