So I know I sound like a broken record, but really- I got this book for free from Tor.com. After reading the first couple of free books from Tor I was actually really eager to read this one. And it was awesome! I devoured it! I couldn't read it in one sitting because the real world intervened, but that was the only reason I didn't! I can't really say why but it kind of reminded me of Terry Pratchett- but it's not really like a Terry Pratchett book so don't think that it is. Unless being a delight to inhabit is all you need to compare a book to a Discworld book. I'm actually super psyched that this is the first book in a series! I'm eager to read the next one!!!(And I'm sure I'll look back on this year's quote at some future date and know it was during the Trump presidency just by my choices!!)
27. Void Black Shadow by Corey J. White
I really just wanted to get back with Mars and Ocho. And I definitely devoured this book but there were some rough, rough scenes!!
28. The Lost Child of Lychford by Paul Cornell
This trilogy has been super engaging and I think the fact that each installment is so short is a big part of its genius. Both books leave me wanting more!
29. Space Opera by Catherynne M. Valente
I was so exciting to read this book. People kept saying it was like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and I know why. I was so excited because I've recently read a couple of short stories by Catherynne M. Valente and looooooooooooooved them. The Future is Blue and Planet Lion!!! OMG!!! Love them!!!!! And there were many things I enjoyed about this book, but I never felt the book. I never got swept up by despite really enjoying some aspects of the book. Dunno... Reading about her love and Douglas Adams and her cat were the most moving parts for me and that was after the book was over.
30. A Long Day in Lychford by Paul Cornell
I will confess that while I am deeply enjoying this series, the reason I seem to be devouring them and not doing my normal thing of spacing them out is because I am spacing them out. It just doesn't look like it because it's taking me sooooooooooo long to read Space Opera, which I find disheartening. I was so excited about that book. But on the plus side, I looooove this series!!!
