“The Road” by Cormac McCarthy held me captive, staying up all night immersed in its pages, awakening the next morning with a lingering sense of melancholy. Stephen King’s works, especially “The Shining,” share that unique ability to make you eagerly anticipate the next page, constantly wondering what twist awaits.

    Yes, System Collapse (Murderbot Diaries #7). I’m in the Kindle Rewards program so with ebook purchases I got a $3 credit and bought it. I read it in two days, I can never read these with any decorum.

    According to the series list on Goodreads, there are two more planned. Very curious where we’ll end up. :)

      First, I loved all the previous diaries, but this one felt different. I finished last night and can’t put my finger on it yet, perhaps there was just less of the internal dialogue, or maybe he’s just getting more and more human and less and less interesting.
