Muderbot and I Share So Much

Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells

Exit Strategy by Martha Wells

January 9, 2019 by faintingviolet 9 Comments

Late last year I read Martha Wells’ All Systems Red the first book in her Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award-winning, and bestselling series, The Murderbot Diaries. The series features a human-like android who keeps getting sucked back into one adventure after another, even though it just wants to be left alone, away from humanity and small talk. Its perfect day is holed up somewhere dark and quiet with its entertainment feed. I can relate. I travel the last two weeks of the year to […]

Which is too bad, because as a newly free […]

I Was Only 97% Certain That This Meeting Was a Trap.

June 23, 2018 by Emmalita 5 Comments

I have been on such a streak of good books that it is getting harder to stop and write reviews. I am now 4 reviews behind, and the second installment in the Murderbot Diaries is jumping ahead of Hunger, Kindred, The Hate U Give and Ancillary Sword. I have all those reviews started.
