Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Surprise!

This book was an exceptional surprise! It was very cozy. I love the personification of each of the characters and dearly want Pe Pa in my friend group.

Why did Michael Jordan retire at the peak of his powers? What actually caused the Blackout at the Super Bowl? Was the Battle of the Sexes fixed by the Mob? Did Tom Brady really admit to taking air out of his reputation? This eight-part podcast peels back the shroud surrounding some of the most unbelievable stories in the history of sports.

I had no idea that some of these controversies even existed! Specifically, the wild theories about the first NBA lottery being rigged in the Nicks favor! I appreciated the deeper look into the Olympic pairs figure skating rigging and the science of deflating footballs.

Monster stories aren’t just meant to entertain. They’re meant to inform, even educate. Above all, they ask us to question our own humanity. Nowhere is this truer than in stories of serial killers. What are the origins of this monstrous archetype? Why are we so fascinated with such gruesome terror? What do they reveal about our fears and anxieties? Explore these and other questions in Serial Killers: Real and Imagined, where public scholar Emily Zarka looks at the serial-killer trope across history, from murky 17th-century legends to 21st-century true-crime obsessions.

Good comparison

I feel meh after finishing this story. It was a good comparison of the ways in which the public has dealt with murderers and serial killers through history.

Working at a dead-end retail job in the middle of nowhere can be hard. The long hours. The helpless customers. The enormous eldritch horror living deep below the building. As the only full-time employee at the 24 hour gas station at the edge of town, Jack has pretty much seen it all. But when he decides to start an online journal documenting the bizarre day-to-day occurrences, he unwittingly attracts the attention of much more than just a few conspiracy theorists.

What?
Revisado: 01-28-24
I have no idea what the overall purpose of this book was. It does not read as a collection of stories, nor as one big story. And no resolution.

Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has sent rescue ships to a newly colonized planet in peril, as well as additional SecUnits. But if there's an ethical corporation out there, Murderbot has yet to find it, and if Barish-Estranza can't have the planet, they're sure as hell not leaving without something. If that something just happens to be an entire colony of humans, well, a free workforce is a decent runner-up prize. But there's something wrong with Murderbot; it isn't running within normal operational parameters.

Once again Martha Wells has opened a time tunnel! I became so enamored with listening to this Murderbot story that I was floored to see I only had 47 minutes left TOTAL 😳😆 “What happened? I just started this yesterday.” I love and recommend the entire Murderbot series!!

What do you do when you love your farm...but it doesn’t love you? After 15 years of farming, Catherine Friend is tired. After all, while shepherding is one of the oldest professions, it’s not getting any easier. The number of sheep in America has fallen by 90 percent in the last 90 years. But just as Catherine thinks it’s time to hang up her shepherd’s crook, she discovers that sheep might be too valuable to give up. What ensues is a funny, thoughtful romp through the history of our woolly friends, why small farms are important, and how each one of us - and the planet - would benefit from being very sheepish, indeed.

In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who’s best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children - everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers’ communication skills ("they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news"), to the eating habits of four-year-olds ("there is no difference between a four-year-old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor").

When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people - who knew?). Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again!

This installment of the Murderbot series is nearly perfect! It needed more Dr Roti to be perfect; Roti is the loving, supportive best friend everyone deserves.

A new Jeeves audiobook is cause for celebration, especially when the stories are not available in print. This hilarious installment of the inimitable manservant Jeeves and his twit of an employer, Bertie Wooster, includes the earliest stories written by the master of the pen, prank, and pun. The stories are woven together with original material performed by Martin Jarvis.

I want this man for myself
Revisado: 04-15-12
Would you consider the audio edition of My Man Jeeves to be better than the print version?
The audiobook of "My Man Jeeves" was better than the print version because Martin Jarvis does a fantastic job voicing each of the characters. In general, I prefer audiobooks to written books only when I am already familiar with the series. I like forming my own opinion and voices for the characters.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would have focused on Bertie and Jeeves in all the stories. I did not care for the other character, whose name I have forgotten, and his attempts to be clever.
Have you listened to any of Martin Jarvis???s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to several of Martin Jarvis' other performances, specifically his voice work with Sir Terry Pratchett and the Discworld series. This performance was wonderful as always.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did not have any extreme reaction to this book. I felt this book was an introduction to a specific set of characters and world.
