melreads(discussion of fictional violence, & spoilers)
Friday, July 24, 2020
Hmm, I haven't actually read much in the last day or two. I was kind of looking at some things I might want to read in the future, some recommendations and such... For one thing, I have one of the Murderbot books, I think, and that seems like something I'd like. (I say "book" but I think maybe they're novellas?) I also saw some recommendations from the Expanse guys about "spaceship" SF, which might be interesting!
Sunday
I don't know that I have much to say. I finished the romance novel. (The one guy did commit suicide, the other guy did egg him on, but this is something that happened several years in the past, in the book, and the protagonists agree that there's not going to be a way to punish the egger-on, and they move on. A lot of Mary Balogh books seem to be about getting past the traumas that happened in your past.)
Meanwhile, I'm back to slogging through Cibola Burn. I'm to the part where there's a huge apocalyptic event on the other side of the planet Holden and Amos are on, and it seems for a while like everybody's absolutely going to die, but actually most of them don't, in the end. This book has now been done by the TV series, too. We watched one episode (of the 4th season, that is) and Rob seemed interested but we haven't come back to it. I guess I'll go finish it on my own, at some point. Rob and I tend to have difficulty coordinating on TV shows sometimes. Anyway, I will get through this book eventually. Possibly with another romance novel going in parallel!
