I read this before the movie was a thing, knew nothing about the story going in, and LOVED it!! Did not see it coming!

Just started listening to Lilith by Nikki Marmery, a novel about Adam’s first wife, and how she was demonized. So far I really like it, and the reader has the best accent, I haven’t looked up where she’s from, but she sounds Irish to me.

Just finished rereading the entire Murderbot series in time to read her newest book, Plarform Decay (which was good, I liked it, but I want to hear more about certain aspects of the story).

To Be Taught, If Fortunate is another of hers that’s fantastic, and focuses on society working together towards the greater good

Have you read any Murderbot? All Systems Red got me hooked (Martha Wells)

I was hoping someone would mention this!! I absolutely love anything in the Nine Worlds! Not all of which is necessarily calming - Jemis, I’m looking at you 👀
