@Jennifer @bookstodon Thanks for that. I’ll skip the bot for now as I am just starting out & want to avoid the slightest chance of spoiler! 🙂

@toxy @bookstodon I love that series so much, glad you do too! I really identify with Murderbot. Stop talking to me so I can consume my media 😆 Another novel in the series comes out this week, I'm so excited!

I read the first and then immediately binged all the rest too! :pixelheart: #Murderbot

@fsnk @bookstodon Oh no! I was just taking a short pause from my #ShadowsOfTheApt series mega-binge by #AdrianTchaikovsky. Now I’ll have two simultaneous addictions on the go! Aaargh!

Oh no! Poor you! I haven't read any #AdrianTchaivosky yet, but I've heard excellent things. Is there a good first book to start with?

@fsnk @toxy @bookstodon Difficult to go wrong with Children of Time…

@rebelrebel62 @fsnk @bookstodon I agree. Children of Time is very good, as is its sequel Children of Ruin; Children of Memory is a little weaker IMHO. If you prefer fantasy to SciFi then start with Empire of Black and Gold. With both genres it can take a little time to “buy in” to the world he builds but after that it’s great.

@toxy @rebelrebel62 @fsnk @bookstodon Funny, I thought Children of Ruin was the weakest. Of course, I read Children of Memory first, because my library didn't label the series correctly. Now I check the order of series elsewhere before starting them...
