Artificial Condition by Martha Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Okay, I didn’t love this as much as the first one, but it kept me wanting to read more of the series.
Kevin R. Free (Narrator) reads the story with enthusiasm.
Sorry this is so short, but I want to go find the next one and read it soon! I read it on Libby!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “bake.” Use it as a noun or a verb, use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
Yeah. These poor trees may be on their last year. I even ordered a live tree, well, Rosemary bush shaped like a tree. But it won’t get here until AFTER Christmas. One thing we realized this morning as my brother did the heavy lifting, as I played director, was the lights wouldn’t work. So they will be a purchase to make later this week.
Hopefully, we’ll have a festive mood by the actual day. We hope we’ll have company. But haven’t a clue what we’ll cook. I’m not into cooking. But I hope we can find a frozen veggie lasagna to bake. Otherwise, I have no clue! Christmas Valley is closed on the actual holiday so no restaurant experience for the non-cook.
But have a fully baked Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
All Systems Red by Martha Wells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, this was clever and different. And a very short read. But Kevin R. Free (Narrator) keeps the story moving and interesting.
Who knew that Murderbots kept diaries? Well, that represents the humor of this science fiction. My friend, Yvensong, raved about it. She was right. It was a lot of fun.
I was lucky to find this on Libby, but I may buy the whole series soon.
Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Cassandra Campbell (Narrator) did a great job bringing this story to life. The funny thing is I read this long ago and gave it five stars. It was a Kindle version. It was way back when I didn’t bother writing a review, so I don’t know what I fell in love with.
The writing was excellent. And it did keep me guessing as to who might have done it or didn’t do it. But it is more about controversial issues for the parents and the children. And how a lack of 0f communication between family members can cause many problems. And maybe the feeling I had heard this story before makes me less in love with it now? I don’t know. It is a heartbreaker.
I finished reading this a few days ago and am just now writing this review. So, decide for yourself. This may be a great read for you!
My hands are tired. But the heels are turned. Just the leg and cuff left to do. Yay!
Finally! I think I’ve been working on these socks off and on for at least a year. I started off trying Crazy Sick Lady Vanilla Socks on Hiya Hiya Flyers then moved the project to Chiaogoo red-laced short cable needles. All that was too fiddly for me. I eventually transferred the socks to a long Chiaogoo red-laced cable of the same size. Finally, I felt I could finish.
Let me say, I don’t like working too down. I didn’t like how to do the heel. I certainly don’t like doing the Kitchener toe, though I think I did it okay for once.
See the yarn bits left? I was in a game of yarn chicken. But I made it with enough to patch little bits.
I do think I’ll try again on children’s socks. I think it is good to learn other techniques. And practice a few times.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “to me.” Find a way to use the phrase “to me” in your post. Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
That’s easy! Happy Birthday to me!!! I am so blessed with so much family and so many friends. And the line blurs between.
Recently, I got the notice of over 2,000 followers. That was a shock. I’m just keeping track of my passions and my life.
If You Would Have Told Me by John Stamos
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
John Stamos was on a talk show promoting this book. Immediately, I put it in the search area on Libby. And there it was!
This is an honest account of Mr. Stamos’s life. In that, I feel I can’t really be a judge. It feels like he wrote it in his own voice, and as he narrated, it sounded quite real.
In a sense, I found myself a bit bored. But a great life well lived isn’t always full of action, adventure, and conflict. It was good for bedtime, and it didn’t keep me up worrying or stressed. I cared about what he was talking about and felt his feelings about it all.
Some ratings are very high. Others are quite low. Judge for yourself. It was interesting. And I am glad he is finding success in his life.
