Non-fiction pick for book club

We've picked Record of a Spaceborn Few for one of our nov/Dec book club books, but starting with the non-fiction so I figure I can actually try to read the first two wayfarers instead of jumping straight into the third

Malta continues to be [john ralphio voice] the worrRRRRRRst

A little bit eerie reading after living through a pandemic with inadequate supplies which reminds me, I need to get my flu shots...

...is scolopendra death

Hmmm I am enjoying this, but it also makes me want to rewatch The Terror (or maybe actually get to the original), mostly for Graham Gore

A slight jump start because the first chapter was a preview in Wedge's Gambit.

Whoops I keep punctuatedly reading this in bursts (when it got renewed, I rushed to read Empyrean because I couldn't renew the copy of OS

Anyway glad to find the Satrap face punchable and another potential scholar woman for me to obsess over

Oh man, a little bit twisty

Saw these at the library and this feels like it's between Heroes of Olympus and Trials of Apollo based on asides.

Wait lol per birth year Dot is my mom's age; I was expecting someone much older. I should also mention I am a bad judge of age because my mom is in excellent shape

a very fun enemies to lovers so far. I do kind of wonder if Dot is actually dead, since Wes and Nadine were instructed not to go into her bedroom and we haven't had a funeral (no body? no actual death??) but who knows.

Going into this blind (other than a bunch of my friends read it and liked it) and wow! I am very excited to see who from the Franklin expedition will show up

At the moment, still unsure about a perp or even victim ID

It's very Canadian

I haven't put as much energy into this one, but it IS fun

Also making progress on this! I'll try to get GR to switch to the audio edition again...

Mostly sharing thoughts with mom friends on discord but you've missed me being incredulous about the Hot for Teacher insert as well as the lack of maps for beach episode: island quest.

I can almost hear the Ace Attorney music as Nawara Ren gets his lawyer on in defending Gavin...

Oooh so this one's about taking Coruscant. I'm still fascinated by the pre-prequel vision of the planet (and the Clone Wars history)

Rogue Squadron had the first chapter of this as an excerpt.

Well, so far this promises to be delightfully meta/ 4th wall breaking.

The non Force end of Star Wars really emphasizes the war part, and that's really fascinating to me

"And it's always the same fight.." He lifts his hand to his chest. "I'll trust you if you stop keeping secrets!" He drops the hand and scowls. "It's just secretive nature that attached you, and why can't you just stay out of harm's way for five fucking minutes?"

lol I appreciate the friend group is also Over It

Sounds increasingly like venin are the vampires of this world (though I guess the initial signs were there, with the draining)

Definitely a "read after you've read everything else" collection
