waiting for summer 
#FinishedReading a light little slice of #SF space opera from #JohnScalzi . The winking quip-heavy style isn't really my cup of tea to be honest, but not a bad way to spend part of a weekend. @bookstodon #bookstodon

Bluesky Social · Sean Eric Fagan (@kithrup.bsky.social)Cached UK/IE Kindle giveaway: 5 copies of @scalzi.com's STARTER VILLAIN, a cute little story that reminded me a lot of THE FRESHMAN, although it is hard for a pair of cats to be cuter than a water monitor acting as a komodo dragon.

A piece from 2016 by John Scalzi that still applies today in another presidential election year: "The Cinemax Theory of Racism." https://whatever.scalzi.com/2016/11/10/the-cinemax-theory-of-racism/?itid=lk_inline_manual_pubble #politics #racism #StandUpToRacism #JohnScalzi

Currently reading #TheKaijuPreservationSociety by #JohnScalzi & it is funny as hell. If we ever start a #Monsterdon #BookClub, I nominate it for our first #book.

I dunno, when it comes to morals and ethics of the political right, the #JohnScalzi "But What If We Didn't" scenario applies.

#WhatWereReading : Joe adored Starter Villain by John Scalzi . Charlie inherits his estranged uncle's fortune, but finds his main business was being a supervillain.
A delightful , fun, smile-inducing read, that clearly loves the classic volcano lair spy thriller, but is happy to lampoon it too. Plus: spy cats!!!
Out now from Tor Books / Macmillan
Holy shit*.
John @scalzi is coming to my local (sort of) Half Price Books on a book tour. Tickets, which include the book, were very reasonable, so I bought two! People never come to Dallas, usually Austin or Houston, and if they do, it’s somewhere expensive or hard to get to. Can’t wait. Gonna see if he’ll sign Fuzzy Nation, too.

#introduction 3! I AM ALSO EXTREMELY INTO.... #books and #reading. I particularly enjoy #SciFi and #HardScienceFiction / #HardSciFi - generally anything by #JoeHaldeman #JohnScalzi #DennisETaylor #MarkoKloos #PoulAnderson #AndyWeir #AdrianTchaikovsky. I would absolutely LOVE it if people suggested books to me as I'm not very good at finding ones I like. The #Bobiverse series was probably my most favourite recent read. Again I welcome interaction about this.

For now, I'm continuing with #TheLastEmperox which is the third & final book in #TheInterdependency by #JohnScalzi.
Starting off strong with some great insults:
"...like Bagan fucking shittoad Heuvel and his similarly feculent amphibian bosses"

During lockdown I rediscovered my love of reading - stumbling across #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar, which I loved and reminded a bit me of the #JoeHaldeman #ForeverWar series. Which led me to the #Bobiverse books by #DennisETaylor which I LOVED.
I also very much like....

Genuinely looking for more suggestions!
