When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is …

When Roz first stomped across the island, the animal squawks and chirps and growls had sounded like nothing more than meaningless noises. But she no longer heard animal voices. She now heard animal words

The Wild Robot by  (Page 51)

I am absolutely in love with this passage. It is so insightful as nature does have its own language and it is shared amongst all of us. We understand when a snake uses its rattle, when a dog wags their tail, when seagulls stare at our food, etc. Many people do not realize this concept, and one of the reasons I love birdwatching. We can communicate with each other and it does not have to be English.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission--and if he fails, humanity …

Good, Good, Good, Good!!

Audiobook? Utterly amazing. At first, I was very annoyed about the narration!!! However, I absolutely loved the book!! Ryland Grace was an amazingly developed character and the world building within this sci fi novel was amazing. I did not expect to find so much love for science in a book and expect to feel like I know about highly scientific knowledge along with the main character. I was hooked to the story. Absolutely amazing. Also, the world needs Strat. Fictional and Non Fictional world!!

John Scalzi: The Ghost Brigades (Paperback, 2008, Tor)

Solid Sequel

I loved loved Old Mans War. I was happy that the universe was continued with this book as I wanted to know more about the universe that Scalzi created, about the characters, ghost brigades, etc. I was surprised on how different some of the Special Forces were to one another. It felt like a smaller story than the first and went by very fast. Writing is still very good, dialogue, etc.

Jesse Q. Sutanto: Vera Wong's unsolicited advice for murderers (Hardcover, 2023, HQ)

Sixty-year-old self-proclaimed tea expert Vera Wong enjoys nothing more than sipping a good cup of …

Cute

I would only recommend the audiobook version of this novel. The narration from Eunice Wong for Vera and all the characters are amazing. The writing is just okay. Not the strongest. Story too. Everything is sort of basic. Nothing too special. I couldn't feel very invested in the characters but it is a cozier, easy read.
