I was a little sceptical about reading Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries - it didn't sound like something I'd be into - but glad I have. I've just read the first three (they're all quite quick reads) and just starting on the fourth, Exit Strategy.

The magic ingredient is how endearing the character of SecUnit/Murderbot actually is (and the other sentient non-humans, really).

Martha Wells is also EXCEPTIONALLY good at writing action.

Just finished by and it was so good I don't know what to do with myself. I suppose I'll go read now.

That sadness when you have to stop listening to Network Effects and start work

I'm thoroughly enjoying the by @marthawells which I picked up in / format via . The murderbot thinking sarcastically "This is my surprised face" is a personal favorite fantastically-delivered line by the narrator Kevin R. Free.

I saw that a local bookshop had Fugitive Telemetry by @marthawells and let me tell you I have never spent money that fast.

Can't wait to read another Murderbot book.

Vor paar Tagen hab ich bei Libby "Network Effect" von Martha Wells ausgeborgt und gleich 400 Seiten von den über 900 weggelesen und was ich eigentlich sagen will:
Ich würde heute viel lieber weiterlesen, anstatt zu der Familienfeier zu gehen ...

Finishing up “Network Effect” by @marthawells because someone is waiting for it to be returned to the library tomorrow. Ah, , I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your company because that might make you nauseous. It would be fun to watch “The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon” with you though.

Like, the literal best thing is reading murder bot and playing any number of songs from Time Out or the piano versions of studio ghibli soundtracks.

I have now successfully binge-read all of the available and am unclear on what I'm supposed to do with myself until the next one comes out in November?

I really love the Murderbot Diaries series--like Murderbot itself, I reread for comfort in these stressful times. I also like audiobooks--I walk a lot, and they're good in the bath, too. I heard that the audiobooks of the series are good, so I tried one a few months ago. Returned it after 10 minutes of listening. It was just...flat. Dull. This may be a bit cruel, but true: the narrator was no better than text-to-voice.

The by Martha Wells @marthawells is a hugely entertaining book series about a rogue Security unit - humorous, droll at times full of wonderfully wry observations about people and robots and things that are a bit of both & some science fiction. If you can find the audiobooks narrated by Kevin R Free even better - Kevin manages to wring every bit of wry humour from the Martha”s text. I am sad I have nearly finished the series. Martha - more Murderbot please.

@jaguar019 are you looking for short reads or something longer?

These days for quick reads I like recommending (fantasy), (sci-fi by @marthawells), (magical realism of sorts but not really?)

I don't know what you've read before but let me know if you wanna read some chunky books too 😊😊 I like finishing short ones to give me that motivation boost
