The Seven Year Slip

Ashley Poston

An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate…only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics. Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it. So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it. And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again. Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future. Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed. After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.

For as self aware as this book is, I'm surprised the author decided to have the heroine actually suggest to the proprietor of a brick-and-mortar bookstore that they should just order a book off of Amazon.

A Novel Love Story

Ashley Poston

A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fiction… literally. Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she’s so set on going to her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what. But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a novel… Because it is. This place can’t be real, and yet… she’s here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. It’s perfect—and perfectly frozen, trapped in the late author’s last unfinished story. Elsy is sure that’s why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending. Except there is a character in Eloraton that she can’t place—a grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book. Which is a problem because Elsy is beginning to think the town’s happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.

Artificial Condition (The Murderbot Diaries, #2)

Martha Wells

It has a dark past--one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself “Murderbot." But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don’t want to know what the “A” stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks. Alternate cover of ISBN 9781250186928. Another cover edition can be found here

Did anyone else learn a bunch of new words while reading this book?

Or was it just me? I was so glad I was reading it on a Kindle, which made it easy to look words up. I thought I had a decent vocabulary but the author really put it to the test 😅

I read this book as a teenager and - even with my bad memory - I remember it well because it made me cry.

I've gotten a little better, but I will always relate to Murderbot. I too do not wish to be perceived and just want to be left to my shows (and books!) I've just started rereading All Systems Red, and never had the chance to read the rest. I've heard good things and I want to read the series before I see the show. I seriously hope the show does Murderbot justice!

All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1)

Martha Wells

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.

I think more people should give this book a try 🐉

It has a bit of a slow start, but I'm glad I stuck with this book because it ended up becoming a favorite of mine. Even if the dragons don't live up to expectations, seeing how the government tries to erase and suppress information in the book is definitely relevant in this day and age.

I just reread Beguilement for the first time in over a decade. It's just as good as I remember, and it's still one of the more unique fantasy books I've read! I love the setting and the originality of the magic system. I'll admit, the significant age gap between Fawn and Dag does read a bit differently these days, but the book will remain a favorite of mine. Has anyone else here read it? What do you all think?
