@barbinpei This is from a book. Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. I've been posting excerpts from the books I've been reading.

I finished Bimbos of The Death Sun by Sharyn McCrumb, this morning (I couldn't find a Twitter handle for her) Overall, I liked it. It's a cozy murder mystery that takes place at a sci-fi convention. The last chapter us wonderfully done. I give it 3 thumbs up 👍👍👍 https://t.co/k2oSowB1Uk

I forgot to post my current read: Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov. I'm only on Chapter 2 but there's already a lady who has access to the collective memory of a whole planet. So, looks promising 🙂 https://t.co/IteXevVRze

I finished I Robot by Isaac Asimov, today. Instead of one long story, each chapter is a short story, some of which involve the same characters. They're snapshots that show humanity's progression over the course of a generation. This is what I miss about Golden Age sci-fi. 9/10 https://t.co/oM8mgHNKCX

@Jaykev08 I bought it on Kindle. So technically, yes. I DNF'ed it and picked up the next read in my list: Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov. Some people have been telling me Achilles is worth skipping the sex scenes so I might give it another try.

@ShireenFox I always think it's interesting when a writer of one gender writes from another gender's perspective. Like Kassandra Khaw with Hammers on Bone and Jeff VanderMeer with Annihilation. It gives you insight on how people see other people.

@FlissZak But H. G. Wells' books are written just like they are, today. The Island of Dr. Moreau was awesome!

Out of stock

In the darkness I heard the curate drinking. I snatched in the darkness, and my fingers caught a bottle of burgundy. ~The War of the Worlds (I'm getting the clear message that Wells did not care for religion)
