19/07/2026 DNF @ Chapter 2, 4% I so wish that books that brag about being funny were actually funny. Clearly I need to go back to the old faithful and just read another Discworld book. Also, I don't complain about audiobooks very often anymore since they're so well produced now, but the narrator was just not my cup of tea.

Timeline

Michael Crichton

In an Arizona desert, a man wanders in a daze, speaking words that make no sense. Within twenty-four hours he is dead, his body swiftly cremated by his only known associates. Halfway around the world, archaeologists make a shocking discovery at a medieval site. Suddenly they are swept off to the headquarters of a secretive multinational corporation that has developed an astounding technology. Now this group is about to get a chance not to study the past but to enter it. And with history opened up to the present, the dead awakened to the living, these men and women will soon find themselves fighting for their very survival -- six hundred years ago.

Prey

Michael Crichton

In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles -- micro-robots -- has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive. It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour. Every attempt to destroy it has failed. And we are the prey.

Sphere

Michael Crichton

A psychological thriller about a group of scientists who investigate a spaceship discovered on the ocean floor. In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface, a huge vessel is unearthed. Rushed to the scene is a team of American scientists who descend together into the depths to investigate the astonishing discovery. What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship, but apparently it is undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old, containing a terrifying and destructive force that must be controlled at all costs.

Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die

Greer Stothers

In this hilarious, off-the-wall queer fantasy romance, a reclusive sorcerer is forced to protect a cowardly knight after a prophecy ties their fates together. Funny, touching and inventive, this book is perfect for fans of A Marvellous Light and Dreadful. All his life, Sir Cameron has tried to stay as far away from danger as possible. But when the Church hands down a prophecy to his fellow knights predicting that the only way to defeat their nemesis, the mad sorcerer Merulo, is to kill Sir Cameron, he finds himself in a situation too sticky for even his considerable wiles. Short of ideas, Cameron throws himself on the mercy of the one person who now actually wants him to the mad sorcerer. Merulo isn't thrilled to be babysitting a spoilt, attention-seeking knight, but fate has tied them together. And transmogrifying Cameron into a vulture is at least a great source of entertainment. Cameron, meanwhile, is on a voyage of self-discovery. It turns out he's really, really into surly sorcerers who lock him up and tell him what to do. Who knew? As a legion of knights surround their stronghold, led by an angry concussed elf—which definitely isn't in any way Cameron's fault—the sorcerer's poisonous ambitions draw ever closer to fruition. Cameron is quite invested in not dying, but he finds he's also invested in Merulo. And sometimes, supporting the sorcerer you care about means taking an interest in their hobbies. Even if their hobby is trying to kill God. Even if it might get you killed, too.

The Andromeda Strain (Andromeda, #1)

Michael Crichton

The United States government is given a warning by the pre-eminent biophysicists in the country: current sterilization procedures applied to returning space probes may be inadequate to guarantee uncontaminated re-entry to the atmosphere. Two years later, seventeen satellites are sent into the outer fringes of space to collect organisms and dust for study. One of them falls to earth, landing in a desolate area of Arizona. Twelve miles from the landing site, in the town of Piedmont, a shocking discovery is made: the streets are littered with the dead bodies of the town's inhabitants, as if they dropped dead in their tracks. --back cover

Michael Crichton Recommendations for a Jurassic Park/Lost World Lover?? 🦖🧬

Hi all! I'm a big fan of the Jurassic Park movie franchise, but I'm an even bigger fan of the JP duology by Michael Crichton, which the movies are based on. So, my question for any fellow MC fans out there is: what book of his do I read next? He has so many, and I've never heard anyone talk about them at all, so I'm curious but also a little scared that they're not talking about them because they're not as good as JP...

what kind of torture is in this book? (and other trigger warnings pls)

I've heard there is quite a bit of on-page torture in this book and that the world isn't the kindest to women either (they're not allowed to learn to read???? it's giving Gaston, ngl), so I want to know what I'm in for before I decide to read the book or not. I AM VERY MUCH ASKING FOR SPOILERS (AS SPECIFIC OR DETAILED AS NEEDED), so read the comments with caution if you haven't read the book! I want to know how dark the world is and just how much is going to happen to the main character and main side character/s. (Animal death, animal torture, rape, etc are big no nos for me, so if that's included, I'd really like to know before going in!)

marking a book as tandem reading - just audiobook or ebook too?

Quick question for the more knowledgeable readers out there: I'm currently reading a physical copy of The Escape Game, but I think I'm going to end up switching over to reading it on my Kindle. So would that count as tandem reading, or do I just switch it from physical to ebook?? I'm making it way too complicated, aren't I? 😅😂

should i dnf? does it get better? (58%, ch 1 - 25)

Okay, so I'm 58% of the way through this, and I'm honestly wondering if I should DNF. I love isekai, and sometimes this story is interesting, but I'm ngl we just got a character reveal, and I have no idea who the hell they are, and it's kind of put me off the whole book. I was enjoying the found family of it all, but now I think I might have lost my enjoyment, honestly. So, for anyone who's finished the book, did you have this problem, or did you love it the whole way through? Does it get better, or should I cut my losses here and go reread Long Live Evil instead?

(I am totally okay with spoilery answers, but please mark your spoilers in the comments!)
