Rated: Loved it Review: While the first book was just a book I “liked” - the previous book and this book were fantastic. I love how the story has progressed and love the main character(s) and their nuances. I’m interested to see what comes next!
#quickreview of “All These Worlds” by @dennisetaylor.bsky.social #booksky
Rated: Loved it Review: I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first one. I think some of it had to do with their being more established characters and storylines that I’m becoming invested in. Great sci-fi book with many different layers and constantly dealing with the question of what makes us human.
#quickreview of “For We Are Many” by @dennisetaylor.bsky.social #booksky
Rated: Liked it Review: I enjoyed this book. I went in without any context and I’m glad I did, it made it more like I was experiencing the story alongside Bob. This is a very sci-fi book, so if you’re not into that, you probably would not enjoy this. The banter is fun though and it’s just some of the technical stuff that felt like it dragged on sometimes.

Why'd I read it: Saw people recommend it
Genre: Fiction
Thoughts: Not what I expected, knew just the basics of who Achilles was and didn't do any research on what the book was about 😅

Rated: Loved it Review: Absolutely loved this book. The continuation of the previous book was perfect and I enjoyed Tarisai’s (and everyone else’s) continued growth. The multiple journeys that occur in this book were really well paced and I loved most choices the author made. My only real criticism of this book was repeated uses of the word “manic”. As someone with Bipolar, I’m very sensitive to usage of that term not relating to actual mania.
#quickreview of “Redemptor” by Jordan Ifueko #booksky
Why'd I read it: Saw that it was a top audiobook
Genre: Fiction
Thoughts: Definitely see why people preferred it as a audiobook. The structure is like a behind the music style documentary. The cast did a great job bringing out the emotions that mightve felt lost on a page.

Why'd I read it: Enjoyed the movie and the actor is the narrator
Genre: fiction
Thoughts: Pretty much the movie. I really liked that the actor also read the detective's lines like the movie. Will check out if he does the other novels as well.

Rated “loved it” with the following review: Wonderful world building, characters who are easy to care about, great character growth, really fascinating story and great setup for the next book. Loved the lore and the desires to both buck tradition where it didn’t serve people but also to restore what had been hidden that was good.

Rated “Loved It” with the following review: Such a good romance novel! The choices made had me constantly saying “no!” but there’s gotta be some conflict to resolve. Ember’s journey is an interesting one and I’m happy to have read it. Danuwoa is the best.
#quickreview of “The Truth According to Ember” by @danicanava.bsky.social #booksky
Rated “Loved It” with the following review: This book was incredible. Heart-wrenching - maybe even more so as the world around the story is based in reality. I’m struggling to write much without giving away any story. And, especially in light of this story, Free Palestine!

Why'd I read it: Title seemed interesting
Genre: Nonfiction
Thoughts: I see parallels with Twitter. The power of social media and its influence is definitely alarming and the role they have with sharing data.

Rated “Loved it” Review: Probably the best sci-fi book I’ve read. I’m amazed at how much in-depth science was in this book but it stayed interesting and engaging the whole time. I knew nothing about this going into it other than it was space related and never imagined where it would end up. Loved this so much.

Why'd I read it: title
Genre: nonfiction
Thoughts: Some cases reminded me of House. Pathology's role in the living and dead was very interesting. I liked this quote "Doubt grows with knowledge"

Rated Loved It with the following review: This book has so many layers and great world-building. Loved the combination of mermaids, religious zealots, gods, pirates, and more! The ending seemed like it could continue. I wouldn’t be mad if it did!
#quickreview of “Devil of the Deep” by Falencia Jean-Francois #booksky
Why'd I read it: Interested in seeing the movie
Genre: Fiction
Thoughts: I enjoyed it, def wanna see the movie to see how book accurate it is. 2nd novel by the author and I guess I enjoyed it more because I was used to her style.

Why'd I read it: Friend told me about the synopsis
Genre: Fiction
Thoughts: A little less than what I was expecting. More romance than killer but still enjoyed it.
#BookSky #QuickReview
Why'd I read it: Havent read it since high school
Genre: Fiction
Thoughts: Kinda scary how more of the book no longer feels like fiction.
#BookSky #QuickReview
Why'd I read it: It was given to me
Genre: Nonfiction
Thoughts: Biographies about a couple of different hunters. Knew of the Tsavo lions but didnt know about the other hunters. Learning about the other man eating animals was interesting.

Rated: Liked It Review: The series ended, and I still never really liked the main character and was just constantly frustrated with her choices. The book and the series were super well written, but I was not satisfied with how it wrapped up. Maybe there was something more real about the lack of happy ending.
#quickreview of The Burning God by RF Kuang #BookSky
Cover of Slow Gods by Claire North. A silhouette of a spaceship passing in front of a large celestial body which seems to be radiating waves of visible sound or energy.
Slow Gods — 9/10 Cat has done it again, an excellent book with great character work and a compelling plot. Feels mysterious without big reveals ruining the rest of the novel #readme #scifi #bookreview #quickreview
Why'd I read it: The blurb
Genre: Fiction
Thoughts: Expected more Zodiac Killer but was more politically charged. Found out that the PT is in other books and liked her enough to read others. Mentions Chet Ondowsky so I might read that as well.

Rated “Loved It” with the following review: Similar to the first book, this is heavy. It’s very well written and the story certainly progresses. I’m still not sure how I feel about the main character, but she has developed some (and in a good rhythm with the story). Very interested to see how this story ends up in the next book.
#QuickReview of The Dragon Republic by @rfkuang.bsky.social #booksky
Why'd I read it: The title
Genre: Nonfiction
Thoughts: Never heard about the case and not surprised about what happens in big pharma. I found it to be an interesting read and throughly enjoyed it.
