This book makes fun of birds by giving accurate descriptions in the negative. Tongue in cheek, you learn a lot by taking it as scarcasm.

Worth a listen, though a book with pictures might be better.

Fun book.

I couldn't do it. The hepcat stream of words was fun at first, but I got tired of it about mid chapter 1.

I need something easier for my secondary book.

Alas. I liked the concept.

Hm. Atouch of yellow panic. Fits with the times.

Read the prologue. It's like if Wile E. Coyote was an eco-terrorist. I say that approvingly.

Since the book I'm reading at work doesn't have synch, I've got a different book on my phone that doesn't have synch.

These books are novelizations of the webcomic Girl Genius. I met the Foglios at Ohayocon some years ago. It was a steampunk theme that year, and I think they go to every steampunk thing ever to advertise. It worked. I bought the first novel and the omnibus, which incidentally covered the same arc.

Reading both does help in my opinion. You get the visuals from he comics, but the books give a lot more detail.

As to this book, it is a sequel, and reading the first I would recommend. The writing won't win any awards, but it's solid, and the tale is light enough that I don't get bogged down with my own feelings.

The webcomic at least, is free.

I've read this book before, but I lost the thread on the comic, so I wanted to catch up via the novels. Reading both does help in my opinion. You get the visuals from he comics, but the books give a lot more detail.

I knew going into a horror book I'd be hard pressed to finish. Turns out I was right. I got through about a third in six weeks and I can't see powering through the rest.

While I'm fine with mind control as a kink, I'm not a fan of it in horror settings. I guess it's consent.

...I've realized that Agatha's voice in my head is my feminine one. Albeit with a lot more maniacal shouting and laughing than mine. Lucrezia's however is lower with more menace and calculated lust in it.

Hm.

Whaaaaat, starting another book before finishing another? Shocking.

I saw the sequel on the shelf and it looks interesting. I'm a sucker for Space Horror...but I don't finish a lot of them. We'll see if this is a mistake.

Well, I think that's the fastest I've read a book this year. Mostly popcorn, but entertaining. Hell of a third act too.

If you like retro sci fi and or noir, it's well worth the read.

Am I starting another book before finishing the last? Why yes, yes I am. DX
