It’s been a while since I did one of these library trip posts. We were busy with family for most of the holiday break, but we’re getting back into our family routine right now, and that means weekly library trips! Here are the ones I checked out today:
Exit Strategy by Martha Wells: The fourth book in the Murderbot series, which I’ve enjoyed quite a lot so far. This is a short one, and I think I’ll be done with it in a couple of days. Expect to see my review of the first book, All Systems Red, here real soon.
Red Rising by Pierce Brown: This one’s been on my Want To Read shelf for a little over a year now, though I’ve forgotten who recommended it to me, but the BookTubers I follow have been talking about it recently, so I figured I’d pick it up. No idea how I’ll like it.
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson: Mrs. Vasicek read this one a couple of months ago, and has some… strong opinions about it. Since Sanderson is such a big name, and we both really enjoy his other books, I figured I’d pick it up to see what all the fuss is about.
The other books are left over from previous library trips that I haven’t blogged about:
One Year After by William R. Forstchen: I read One Second After back in 2019, and it really hit me in the gut something hard. Great book, but wow—what an emotional roller coaster. With the pandemic and everything else, I’ve been reluctant to pick up the sequel, but I do really want to find out what happens, so I thought I’d pick it up and give it a try. Maybe I’ll read it before it’s due, or maybe I’ll decide that it just isn’t time yet. I’ve already renewed it once, so the next few weeks will decide.
Space Opera by Catherynne Valente: A fun, light-hearted read to hopefully balance everything else out. I checked this out once before and never got around to it, so hopefully this time is different.
Abaddon’s Gate by James S.A. Corey: I’ve read the first two books in the Expanse already, and really enjoyed them. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series, probably over the next few months. They’re big books, though, so I’m probably not going to binge them—too many other great books to get to!
