January book haul.

Remember when I said at the beginning of the month that I will change my habits, among those changes the book-buying also was supposed to go through some changes. So here is the list of my self-restraint.  Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe. This classic is not the most pretty edition but I am trying to gather classics. It is the story of a man who is stranded on a desert island. Yo, Robot, Isaac Asimov another classic SciFi book about a detective who is prejudiced against AI in a time where AI are abundant.  The inheritance trilogy, N.K. Jemisin a fantasy trilogy in a single book compilation. This is a fantasy story about people living in an Earth that is plagued by natural disasters typically earthquakes. Yes a very bad description. I don't really read descriptions, I generally go into the reads with vague ideas, as you can clearly tell by now. Armando Hoyos, Eugenio Derbez , this is a nonsensical book meant to make you laugh. I have no idea what it is- I bought it be...

Saga Vol 1

Image
Author: Brian K. Vaughan  Artist: Fiona Staples Contains chapter 1 to 6 Original publication date: October 2012 Book description:  When two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war fall in love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous old universe. Thoughts: So it felt too sudden, it was a very fast read we are thrown in the middle of a war, two people are running for their lives and just go from one situation to another. The volumes here show a series of events that take place in a very small amount of time. I still do not feel too connected to the character but I really want to continue to see how they get to the present. It is being told, so all of this has already happened. It does take away a bit of the thrill as you kind of infer on the outcome, yet you do not the events and the how of the story so that's compelling to get you to read it.  The world where they are is not explained too much, but the art is stu...

Author's backlist check in 2

  As part of the personal challenge, I have taken upon myself the second person I picked was Agatha Christie. So here I will provide an overall view of the progress I have made in the last year and the upcoming prospect of the challenge. I will continue and try to complete it in the near future.  Last few months I managed to read the works from 1920 The mysterious Affair at Styles to Death in the clouds published in 1935, that is 22 of her works.  I have enjoyed them for the most part and understand why even so many decades later she is a very popular author. In the next 12 months I plan on reading: JANUARY I have already started reading both of them. The ABC murders was very interesting. I enjoyed it a lot. My review for it coming soon. FEBRUARY MARCH Why dumb witness? Very peculiar choice of words. APRIL It's good I don't really read seasonally, I didn't plan this correctly, reading Christmas stories in April. MAY I have already read And there were none but it has be...

Frankisstein: A love story

Image
Author: Jeanette Winterson  Genre: Sci-Fi, LGBT, Original publication date: May 2019 Book Description (from Goodreads):  In Brexit Britain, a young transgender doctor called Ry is falling in love – against their better judgement – with Victor Stein, a celebrated professor leading the public debate around AI. Meanwhile, Ron Lord, just divorced and living with Mum again, is set to make his fortune launching a new generation of sex dolls for lonely men everywhere. Across the Atlantic, in Phoenix, Arizona, a cryogenics facility houses dozens of bodies of men and women who are medically and legally dead… but waiting to return to life. But the scene is set in 1816, when nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley writes a story about creating a non-biological life-form. ‘Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful.' What will happen when homo sapiens is no longer the smartest being on the planet? Jeanette Winterson shows us how much closer we are to that future than we realize. Funny ...
