I just finished a re-read of Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells to coincide with the AppleTV show being released they work well for quite a few bingo squares with 5E Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and 1E Now a Major Motion Picture being the most prominent. I’m now working through the Amra Thetys series starting with The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble's Braids by Michael McClung. I read the first book for a past bingo and really enjoyed it, so now I'm finishing the series. They work for the2A Independent Author bingo square for sure

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

The series does a really really good job of capturing the feel of the books. I'm super impressed by the halfway point. There are some things that got changed just for the different media formats, but you can really tell that A) the writers and producers loved the series and B) Martha Wells was super involved in vetting the script and changes.

Skarsgård nails the feeling of Murderbot.

These days, it seems just finding writers that actually like the source material is big win. So many stories butchered.

(Haven't read or watched Murder bot series, just salty about some other ones)
