|
| A fun (and *very* Shaenon Garrity) queer sf romance about an escaped superintelligent genetically engineered transhuman who gets a job in a coffeshop. There is mad science. Lessons are learned. Love is the answer to pretty much any question worth ask ...more | |

| An important book for the present moment. It explains, in detail and with a lot of supporting evidence, how many of the wealthiest and most influential people in the world are effectively in a cult. If you've ever wondered why so many tech billionair ...more | |
"Murderbot was my introduction to Martha Wells and - without being too shady towards her - I was surprised to find out that she had so many books under her belt already and for such an impressive span of time. Murderbot struck me as being written by s"

| A (mostly) gender-swapper queer retelling of Hamlet with characters based on the late pre-Raphaelite set of fin de siecle England isn't something I would have expected to work. But it does. Brilliantly. Because Hamlet's themes of maddening grief, fru ...more | |

| It's always nice to read a book where the characters are allowed to be extremely stupid, but get over it and make up for their mistakes. This wasn't a perfect book, but it was a very good one, and I'm looking forward to reading more by the author. ...more | |
“But even if I found somewhere to hide, how long would it be before my stepmother showed up with a clever disguise and a shiny red apple? I’d probably end up lying in a glass coffin until the trump of doom. Or at best, I’d find myself engaged to a different prince. One with a tendency toward necrophilia. The coffin kissers are the worst.”

“Your cat,’ Ari tells her, ‘keeps dropping on my head.’ ‘Oh,’ Chloë says. ‘Yeah, I’m sorry. He does that. Usually only with people he really likes, though.’ ‘It’s amazing! Why – no, what I mean is, how? How does he do that?’ ‘He perches on the door lintels, waiting for someone to come through.’ ‘Amazing,’ he repeats, peering at the narrow beam atop the doorway to the kitchen. ‘They’re only, like, half an inch wide.’ ‘He’s very graceful.’ ‘Cats are such fantastic creatures, don’t you think?’ He continues to stare at the lintel, as if willing it to divulge its secrets.”

“I once read somewhere that all cats are little Buddhists. They attempt to reduce your attachment to material possessions by destroying them.”
