I've been telling my daughter that she should read #Murderbot for _years_, but she has a contrarian streak where she "doesn't like books people recommend". Well, last week, she said "fine, I need something new I'll give it a try."

Today: "Stayed up late to finish book 6. Has been a while since a book was good enough that I couldn't put it down to go to sleep."

@rikefranke I like spending time with Thara Celehar in Katherine Addison’s books (#TheGoblinEmperor, then #TheWitnessForTheDead and so on) and the audio books are very good.
If you’ve not already encountered them (relevant to your interests?) the #Murderbot series by @marthawells are excellent and also have very good audiobooks.
Finally, @AnnLeckie books are great and have lovely audiobook adaptations.

I have such high hopes for #Murderbot series.....

I'm going to be bitterly disappointed, right?

(And no I have not, as of yet, read any of the books, but I heard good things and been meaning to get around to it)

@alxd I imagine it is hard because you have to imagine a world where we relate to one another differently. I wonder if PresevationAux would be different in that regard from Murderbot Diaries. their hab has a really big communal space from what I could gather.

exterior wide show of a ship on the right of the frame and one of those settlement buildings with murderbot walking from the ship to the building.

the building looks like a long boat with triangular translucent bubbly panels on the side, and square like translucent panels on the rounded ends. there are a few trees and a red power line coming from the foregorund to it

Murderbot's POV camera view showing mensah, pin-lee, and two others looking at murderbot in a building with translucent exterior coverings with some triangular panels painted either purple,blue or green. Mensah is looking quizzically. one of the others is looking happy. their outfits have light grey and orange accents

over the top shot of a room with greenery(fruits/vegs etc) attached to pylons hanging from the ceiling
a curve narrow staircase is in the backgroun, murderbot is not in its armour wearing a hospital gown on the left, two characters are cut off only seeing their head in the bottom right (one of them pin-lee), they're both working on something, a character with blonde hair and a tool belt with a green badge of their shirt is about to speak. much of the interior design is earthy by sparse in detail and not industrial.

I can’t decide what I think about the upcoming Murderbot Apple TV series based on the trailer. Having read it I have so many expectations. On the other hand, I showed my parents the trailer and they are both really interested in watching it now and mom asked if she can download it on her Kindle (we share family library because I pay for all her kindle books). #MurderBot #AppleTV #bookstodon

I was a bit skeptical when I saw the actor they picked for Murderbot, but now I watched the trailer like 4 times and I really can't wait for the tv show release on May 16th!

Wow! They even did The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon

Can't wait to watch it!
