BARE YOUR SWORD

ELYSIUM, Jennifer Brissert. A seashell of a book, spiralling around a core story. A hermit crab that tries on different styles until it finds a fitting home. Do exterior details matter, or only the inner truths? Also, good use of grep. @swordandlaser "

It's a great feeling to realize you already read the book club pick. It's like finding a $20 bill in your library book. Now I can go back to work on finishing BLACK LEOPARD.
@MitchamBeth
THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY, Alix E. Harrow. The story of an unbreakable love, a love that transcends death and universes. I refer, of course, to the bond between January and Bad. I mean, some other characters may like each other too. #HugoAwards

@swordandlaser The Wrong Stars by Tim Pratt: Easy to read space opera. Some funny quips. At the end of each chapter, there was some kind of hook to read on. Many female characters. And some romance. I forget why one of the characters had a plural pronoun. There's funny aliens.

@swordandlaser Listening to episode 98 and heard how Veronica would donate her ""Star Trek"" paperbacks to the library.
I still do that, but haven't recently. It seems like the publishers are winding down a lot of those books.
