I really wanted to like Tuf Voyaging. So many people told me it was a great book, and since it involves cats, I was looking forward to a fun Sci-Fi adventure, but the writing kept me from enjoying it. I managed to get through 50 pages, hoping it would get better, but I just couldn’t keep going after that. I gave it to the Boyfriend to keep in case I ever want to give it another try.

I’m officially a Time Lord in the #SciFiSummer reading challenge! I’ll continue reading Science Fiction until the end of the Summer, but September 1st is the start of #RIP, so I’ll start shifting toward darker Sci-Fi. I inadvertently did that already by reading Boneshaker, which I didn’t realize has zombies in it. It’s a really good read and I’ll probably finish it this weekend, maybe even today.

I only need to finish one more book for #SciFiSummer to become a Time Lord! I might be able to do that this weekend by finishing Life, the Universe, and Everything.

The Plague Stones and The Hollow Tree by James Brogden – KEEP. I usually don’t buy a second book by an author I’ve never read before until I’ve finished the first one, but these were both a bit of a “cover buy,” and the synopses for both sound like Brogden might quickly become a favorite. I hope that turns out to be true. The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix – KEEP. I’m looking forward to finally reading this one for this year’s #RIP. Soon by Lois Murphy – KEEP. I’m going to give this one a try, but the reviews give me the impression that I’ll either love it or hate it. I think a 50/50 chance is worth the 50-page test.
