I have discovered a new thing about myself. I no longer read printed books. If they aren't ebooks I just let them sit there unread.

Earth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away - …
I may end up not finishing this one. The science is solid and well-researched, but the presentation is cartoon-cute, including actual cartoons. I am a grinch and do not like my science to be cutesy.
Oh, and in case you wondered, the answer to all three questions (Can we settle space? Should we settle space? And have we really thought this through?) is no.
It was a fun book but not particularly compelling.
While most of the world has drowned beneath the sudden rising waters of a climate …
Really liked this book, but it is not easy to read. The action is brutal and gory; there's a lot of killing and the details are not spared.
Ezra Friedman sees ghosts, which made growing up in a funeral home complicated. It might …
It's never explained why only one person can see all these ghosts. And it's never explained why one ghost can do things no other ghost can do. The lack of any logical framework is infuriating.

Was not thrilled with this one. I don't like books where much of the content consists of the main character's internal dialogue. Makes me want to yell, "Stop agonizing and just do something!"
This is November's choice for the Queer Romance Club read on Mastodon.
In an original world reminiscent of Edwardian England in the shadow of a World War, …
Reading books like this, set in worlds where magic or supernatural forces are normal, always makes me feel like there's some western/christian cultural mythos that is familiar enough to other people to be just background knowledge, and is something I never learned.
In spite of that, I really enjoyed the story.
Well, that was frustrating. Good story, but it ends with a cliffhanger. And I don't think there's a sequel.

This seems like it would be fun to read!
Ruth Johnson and her sister Jules have been small-time hustlers on the interstellar cruise lines …
Didn't care for this book at all. Not only were none of the characters really likeable, but it's supposed to be a romance and it didn't really seem believable that they liked each other. Besides, the setting never felt plausible either. It's a future society that somehow retains social structures from the last century.
During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Chinggis Khan and his heirs established the largest contiguous …
I didn't so much read this one, as use it for research for a story I was writing, but it was very interesting anyhow.
Welcome to... THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB
In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet …
My turn to read the library book finally came up. I enjoyed the book but didn't find anything especially compelling about it. And some of the motives for the murders seemed pretty flimsy.
I discovered this book through a video where the author talks about its subject matter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk0sJP9C9-I The video itself is pretty interesting.
New York Times bestseller Cory Doctorow's The Bezzle is a high stakes thriller where the …
Interesting book, but I didn't like it as much as Red Team Blues.
