Theo82nd read of 2025:<br><br>Provenance by Ann Leckie<br><br>Ingray is a delightful narrator because she has a specific point of view and limitations on her knowledge and capabilities, which are reflected in the reader's understanding of what’s happening. She’s also a smart choice from Leckie as a follow-up to the previous trilogy in this universe because she is so different from Breq.<br><br>Once the plot got going, I couldn’t put this down. I loved all the shifting alliances and how the murderer being extremely obvious played into not knowing how this would be solved. And I’m always on board for a surprise romance and Leckie’s cast of queer and trans characters. <br><br>5/5 stars <br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/bookstodon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/scifibooks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciFiBooks</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/lgbtqbooks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LGBTQBooks</a><br><br><a href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/notice/Aw8JdFJOGvrdSzrXhg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://ack.nerdfight.online/notice/Aw8JdFJOGvrdSzrXhg</a>

Grabbed a new book at the bookstore the other day because the title was funny and I liked how the cover feels.. and I’m so bored 
somehow it’s romance again and it’s so not my thing to read about. Sure, romance has it‘s place, but the whole book is built around it.. anyhow what should I read from my evergrowing to-read list?
a) continue Millenium trilogy
b) start The Expanse books
c) a classic like hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy
d) Xenogenesis
e) something else..?

Osunac "Atraviesa el Puente Golden Gate actualmente y entra en el Condado de Marin, siguiendo hasta Mill Valley. Encontrarás simplemente una típica pequeña ciudad americana, en algunas cosas más desmantelada que lo normal. Pero, no llega a haber nada de sorprendente. Algunas personas, en torno al punto de autobús, pueden parecerle extrañas, apáticas y ajenas, y tal vez lo impresionen como inamistosas."
The Body Snatchers 
(1955) de Jack Finne
