    Just Finished Martha Wells' BOOK OF THE RAKSURA bk 1, THE CLOUD ROADS. I enjoyed it. I can see how she ended up writing Murderbot so well, because while her Raksura are humanoid, they are definitely NOT human, and Well's is very effective at making them just different enough without being outright alien. It's a fun book about a solitary Raksura (shapeshifters who can appear more or less human but have a winged lizardperson form too) finding his people and tryng to fit in while helping them against a competing but mustachetwirlingly evil competing flying lizardsperson race. It moves fast, the characters are engaing, and she nicely dodges a lot of the self-pity and angst traps the book could have fallen into. SOlid work from the earbook narrator. I went straight in to bk 2 THE SERPENT SEA, which picks up immediately after bk. So far so good.

    Also, still listening to THE SILT VERSES audiodrama, still impressed, still recommended.


    Confession time: I bought the first three Raksura audiobooks back in 2018 and have been sitting on them ever since. Lately though, I keep thinking about how you were raving about these and threw on the first book. I feel dumb for sitting on these for 8 years now. You're completely right about how well Wells did with making the civilization sympathetic and yet clearly not human.

    Picked up my copy yesterday but no promises to actually read it for awhile since I'm still working my way through The Library Trilogy.

    I think Daughter of Crows has to be my favorite of your covers though, Mark. Hopefully some people break the old rule and pick it up just for the cover.

    Currently about a third of the way into Laurie Lee's Cider with Rosie which was a recommendation.

    It's lovely. Hard to articulate beyond that, but the prose is so vivid and just a delight to read. Captures childhood incredibly well thus far.

    JPK - if this isn't in your classics list, I think you would really enjoy it.


    Thank you for the recommendation. Adding it now.

    God's Junk Drawer by Peter Clines is $1.99 on Amazon and Kobo both. I'm a bit over halfway into this now and can honestly say it's worth it for sure. Dinos, aliens, cavemen, cyborgs, and robots. Oh my.

    There's also a massive Discworld Humble Bundle going. $16 for 39 books. Looks like these might not be drm free though.

    Blew through the audio for Matt Dinneman's newest release Operation Bounce House in a day. If you're a DCC doubter or have reservations due to the chaotic tone and litrpg nature I suggest giving this one a spin.

    Next up I'm finally getting to Clines' God's Junk Drawer.
