Nemesis games james corey5/21/2023 I’ve been waiting for the rest of the crew of Rocinante to have their own POV chapters, and it finally happened here. I’ve mentioned in my review of Abaddon’s Gate and Cibola Burn that I had some issue with the choices of new POV characters. The average ratings speak for itself already all of these characters are the majority of The Expanse reader’s favorite characters in the series, and of course, Nemesis Games automatically became one of the highest rated books within the series because of this. Look, I can’t tell you how pleased I am by Corey’s decision to put all of these characters in one volume. I mean, with that kind of attitude, it’s not a surprise that Holden and the crew of Rocinante always get in trouble. That really is how you go through life, isn't it?” And to make things even better, Fred, Bobbie, and Avasarala (Yesss!!!) have more spotlight here, and my god, this book/series is seriously so much better for it. Let me repeat that, Holden, Naomi, Alex, and Amos have their own POV chapters. But get this, for the first time in the series, we finally have an entire book with POV chapters told exclusively through the eyes of these four characters. Corey, once again put Holden, Naomi, Alex, and Amos in a tough spot. Nemesis Games, the fifth volume in The Expanse series by James S.A. Here we are at the halfway point of the series. It’s all about the crew of Rocinante, and that’s the main reason why Nemesis Games is the best book in the series so far.

The blazing world siri5/21/2023 I’ve been wondering how I was going to introduce The Blazing World in my review for a few days now. I hate sleeping on planes because it is a waste of valuable reading time for me. I ended up reading about half of this book while I was on my trip out to Boston for a conference last week, and it actually kept me awake on the plane for the most part, which is nice. It took me about three weeks to finish, but that was mostly because work has been busy and I wasn’t having as much time in the evenings to read. After my Orfeo experience a few months ago Indiespensible books have worried me a bit, and I was pleasantly surprised that The Blazing World (which was on the longlist for the Man Booker Prize in 2014) was of the same vein as Orfeo but held my attention better, and I actually found myself wanting to read it, rather than finding things to do rather than read it. It’s been sitting around for a while, over year, though I’ve been looking forward to reading it vaguely, with some concern for complicatedness and reading time. I acquired The Blazing World thanks to Powell’s Indiespensible book club.

Lady Evina Maclean has heard much about Rory Buchanan’s skill as a healer.

Gilda joyce book series5/21/2023 Towards the end of the last book, she has grown to the age of 15/16. She is a quirky, likeable, gutsy and funny character.

The book of awesome author5/21/2023 Rather than simply indulging in the appreciation of a singular thing, most of the entries are rooted in a particular context. While I expected a read that would present forced enthusiasm over little things for a cheap laugh, I instead got something humorously sincere and genuinely relatable.ĭivided up into sections typically about 1-3 pages long, the book is a collection of life’s small pleasures, broken down in a way that they can be humorously appreciated. I cynically regarded it as a fun little novelty that was an easy sell to the casual reading masses, but it exposed to me the jaded husk of a man I can sometimes be. I’m hesitant to admit this, but The Book of Awesome is a book I thought of as little more than fluff. With wise, witty observations from writer Neil Pasricha, this treasure trove is filled with smile-inducing musings that make readers feel like kids looking at the world for the first time: AWESOME! Based on the award-winning blog, The Book of Awesome is a high five for humanity and a big celebration of life’s little moments and the underappreciated, simple things that make us happy, from popping bubble wrap to hitting a bunch of green lights in a row, to waking up thinking it’s Monday and realizing it’s Saturday.

It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. I’d never be able to compete with that, so I pushed her away instead.
