Half-Cannonball with Murderbot (and FRIENDS!)

Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries #5) by Martha Wells

February 17, 2021 by andtheIToldYouSos 3 Comments

Forgive the late Valentine, but Tor posted this last week and I forgot about it until RIGHT NOW. Oops! The best thing about finishing this book (of course I did not want it to end!) is that now I can read all of the CBR reviews. Hooray! I had to stop myself from peeking at your reviews before I even started listening to Network Effect– the temptation was strong! Now I can continue to bask in the Murderbot blow despite having no new adventures to […]

CBR Diversions – Literary Couples That Make You Swoon

February 11, 2021 by teresaelectro 48 Comments

With Valentine’s Day swiftly approaching, romance is in the air. To complement our featured romance book reviews, this week’s CBR Diversion celebrates our favorite literary couples. Who makes you swoon? I know many of you are historical romance fans who love a reformed rake who meets his match. Daphne and Simon have become quite popular in the zeitgeist after the Netflix adaption of Julia Quinn’s The Duke and I premiered. Personally, I’m a sucker for the slow burn courtship in urban fantasy series. In the […]

Well hello there, Murderbot!

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

February 6, 2021 by postcardsandbooks 2 Comments

So I should preface this with: despite my review of the Forward collection a couple of weeks ago, I am NOT a sci-fi fan. Some of the worst books I ever remember reading are different types of sci-fi. I am looking at you: Annihilation trilogy, Red Rising, This is how you lose the time war. Sidenote: I just went back on my Goodreads and these are all the sci-fi books I read over the last 4 years and I hated them all. 🙁 Enter Murderbot. […]

Even more Murderbot

Network Effect by Martha Wells

February 2, 2021 by kittenkong42 1 Comment

I’d like to apologise to Martha Wells for not getting around to reading this sooner. It’s no reflection on the book, which is excellent, just a consequence of COVID blues meaning I’m still struggling to read novels. This is the first full length novel featuring everyone’s favourite introverted and socially anxious cyborg (SecUnit) Murderbot as they navigate what it means to be free to choose your own path. Murderbot is now almost a family member to their former client Mensah on the colony of Preservation. […]

“Disinformation, which is the same as lying but for some reason has a different name, is the top tactic in corporate negotiation/warfare.”

Exit Strategy by Martha Wells

January 8, 2021 by andtheIToldYouSos 11 Comments

AHHHH, YOU DON’T SAY?! That phrase hit me this morning while I was failing to get ready for work in a timely manner- I was listening to this book, brushing my teeth, scrolling through twitter, and BAM. I’m pretty sure I heard that same sentiment expressed several times over while stress-watching the entire certification process on Wednesday night/ Thursday morning after, you know, homegrown terrorists were allowed to run amok in the Capitol. Lies are still flying fast and furious, and it becomes more and […]
