It has been winter-cold here in NC for the last few days, and I'm tired of it already. No snow ❄️ yet but it's certainly been cold enough to snow, at least overnight.

When do you put your tree up?
I’m a 👍and today is the day!
I'm a firm believer that each season should have it's fair share of time for decorations. Spooky season until Nov 1, then Tom Turkey, then Santa. And not before!

📚 Autonomous by Annalee Newitz
⭐⭐⭐💫 3.5/5
I finished Autonomous this morning. While the concept of the book intrigued me, the execution fell flat for me. Parts were very peteitious (multiple pages of internal dialog). That's just not my thing. But if it's yours, this book has had very good reviews.

A fresh new story idea! We've all heard it said time and time again that there are no new stories under the sun; just rehashed versions of the same stories. Not so! This was a bold new story.
Highlighy recommend.

📚 Girl One, Sarah Flannery Murphy
⭐⭐⭐⭐4/5
For the first 130 pgs, I wondered "Why parthenogenesis?" Why clone females? Unless it's replacement parts for the rich. It lacks genetic diversity & causes societal problems. Then all was revealed & the story took off!
Bk 3 of my #scifi #book stack.
