HNR, but it looks excellent and I have added it to my tbr list.

HYR Princess Briana by Yaba Baker ?

No, but it sounds really good!

HYR Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir by Eddie Huang ?

HNR

HYR Shades of Treason (Anomaly, Book 1) by Sandy Williams ?

HNR. The science fictional aspects of this novel sound good, the Romance, not so much, Have you read it yet? If yes, what did you think?

HYR The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester ? He was the first -- in 1951-- to write about telepaths in this 175 page novel.

Btw, I wasn't rec'ing Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir above; I didn't care for it.

Shades of Treason was recommended to me, but I have not yet read it. I rarely read any sort of memoir -- most are too serious -- and my personal reading is for fun. So, I didn't even consider Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir as a potential read.

HNR The Demolished Man It doesn't sound like a book which I would enjoy.

HYR Tiny World Terrariums: A Step-by-Step Guide to Easily Contained Life by Michelle Inciarrano or another "how to" book on growing plants?

HNR. I'm really, really good at killing plants, inside and outside; I ignore my yard and plants, mostly.

Two funny, funny memoirs I've read, but wish I'd listened to are Bossypants by Tina Fey and Yes Please by Amy Poehler . HYR either of them?

HNR

HYR Grave Witch (Alex Craft, Book 1) by Kalayna Price ?

HNR, but it looks like I should.

HYR The Fallen and Leviathan by Thomas E. Sniegoski ?

HNR, the reviews are mixed.

HYR The Fallen and Leviathan by Thomas E. Sniegoski ?

I haven't, but I've had it on my actual TBR shelves for years-- so long ago I bought at Borders; five years ago. I bought it/ them because I liked:

A Kiss Before the Apocalypse by Thomas E. Sniegoski so much. HYR it?

HNR

HYR The Better Part of Darkness (Charlie Madigan, Book 1) by Kelly Gay ?

HNR

HYR Deadtown by Nancy Holzner ?

Love the series, can't wait for the next book.

HYR The Fairy-Tale Detectives* (The Sisters Grimm, Book 1) by Michael Buckley

*It is next up in my tbr pile.

Looks like fun! HNR.

HYR Grimm: The Icy Touch by John Shirley ? But looking at reviews here, it looks like it should be avoided. I liked this one well enough: .

HNR either. Loved The Fairy-Tale Detectives and have requested the next book in the series from my library.

HYR Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley ?

No, but it sounds like I might love it!

HYR See No Color by Shannon Gibney ? It's my next RL book club book, by my friend's friend. I think I'll make homemade cracker jacks. (I try to make food that's in the book, or related to the book, somehow. The main character loves baseball.)

HNR

HYR Dark Emperor and Other Poems of the Night by Joyce Sidman ?

HNR, but it looks like a good one!

HYR Rumble by Ellen Hopkins ? I like this author a lot and recently bought this YA realistic novel written in blank verse.

HNR, does not seem like something that I would read.

HYR Article 5 (Article 5, Book 1) by Kristen Simmons ?

No, but I've read both the very positive and the very negative reviews and the ones in the middle.

HYR The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood ?

Read it a very long time ago. I did not enjoy The Handmaid's Tale.

HYR Mindwar (Mindwar, Book 1) by Andrew Klavan ?

The Handmaid's Tale may be the scariest book I've ever read and I've only read it the one time, decades ago, not wanting to revisit it. I think if you didn't enjoy it, the book was doing its job. A lot of the reviews of Article 5 referenced The Handmaid's Tale.

HNR.

HYR The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain ?

Long, long ago, but in this galaxy.

Speaking of golden oldies, HYR 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke ?

HNR, just seen the movie.

HYR, another golden oldie, The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury ?

Love all of the books in the 2001: A Space Odyssey series.

Read a long time ago when I was a teenager.

HYR, another golden oldie, I, Robot by Isaac Asimov ?

Yes, I have read it, and this one in the last ten or so years. I went on to read The Caves of Steel and didn't care for it as much.

HYR Time Enough for Love by Robert A. Heinlein ?

Yes, many years ago -- not my favorite Robert A. Heinlein book.

Sticking with our golden oldies theme, HYR Dune (Dune, Book 1) by Frank Herbert ?

Yes, relatively recently.

HYR The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester ?

HNR, although I'm not sure why I never got to it. It's the kind of book that I usually enjoy.

HYR Hyperion* (Hyperion Cantos, Book 1) by Dan Simmons ?

*It won a Hugo for Best Novel in 1990. The Hyperion Cantos trilogy remains one of my all-time favorite scifi series.

It's maybe been twenty years since I read The Demolished Man, but I remember it as really good. It's the first novel that addresses telepathy, so on the sf tv show "Babylon 5," the governmental organization of telepaths is lead by a character named Alfred Bester. The novel is short and a murder mystery.

HNR Hyperion, which one a whole bucket of awards. I've got The Terror by Dan Simmons, which I've been meaning to read.

Away from classic sf. HYR The Crossover by Kwame Alexander ?

HNR

HYR The Forbidden Tower (Darkover, Book 14) by Marion Zimmer Bradley or any of the other Darkover novels by MZB?

Inexplicably, I have read zero of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover novels, since I think I have read all of the The Mists of Avalon books.

HYR The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley ?

HNR


HYR Stones from the River by Ursula Hegi

HNR

Speaking of Ursulas, HYR The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin ?

Oh yes. It's probably time for me to reread it though.

HYR Witch World by Andre Norton ?

HNR anything by Andre Norton

HYR Dark Emperor and Other Poems of the Night or any of the other illustrated picture books of poetry by Joyce Sidman ?

HNR any Joyce Sidman, or Andre Norton, either.

While it's still poetry month for a few hours HYR (or heard of) A Wreath for Emmett Till by Marilyn Nelson ? It has gorgeous illustrations and beautiful and heartbreaking poems.

HNR or hear of Marilyn Nelson. I will keep her in mind. I still have a least three more Joyce Sidman illustrated poetry books to read.

HYR Stars Above, an anthology of short stories set in the Lunar Chronicles universe, by Marissa Meyer ?

I don't know why, I mean to, but I haven't even read Cinder. I'm sure I'd like it and the rest of the series. HNR.

HYR A Boy and His Dog by Harlan Ellison ?

Years ago, I found it very disturbing.

HYR Four: A Divergent Story Collection* by Veronica Roth ?

*A collection of short stories set in the Divergent universe.

That A Boy and His Dog is disturbing. (I haven't read it in several decades myself.)

HNR. I read part of Divergent and knew it wasn't for me. Not true, I read it all and didn't care for it, so I haven't read further in the series.

HYR Nightfall by Isaac Asimov ?

Many years ago. I read all of the Divergent series. I just didn't like the way that it ended. This collection of short stories is on my tbr list.

HYR The Maze Runner* by James Dashner ?

Nope, and the first movie annoyed me.

HYR Storm Front by Jim Butcher ?

Read the first two or three Harry Dresden books and then lost interest in the series.

HYR Loki's Wolves (The Blackwell Pages, Book 1) by K.L. Armstrong and
M.A. Marr ?

Many people say that Harry Dresden series gets good with the third book Grave Peril.

I haven't read, I haven't even heard of Loki's Wolves and I'm a Kelley Armstrong fangirl. Thanks! Have you read it?

HYR Nimona by Noelle Stevenson ?

Loki's Wolves is on my tbr list. HNR Nimona
