Just finished reading Exit Strategy by Jen J. Danna. It's been on my (metaphorical) shelf for a while, I think I found it a few years ago Dollar Tree. Started reading it during a power outage the other day, and got hooked pretty fast. A lot of books are a bit bulkier, scifi/fantasy books that have a lot of world building and really detailed plotlines. Exit Strategy has a lot "smaller" of a story for a lack of a better term (smaller stakes, humanity isn't at stake or anything, + a smaller cast of characters), and it takes probably a dozen or so pages to introduce the setting and then gets right into the main plot. It moves quickly, in the ~300 or so pages it has a self contained story that's moves rapidly. There's not a lot of subplots and it doesn't meander too much, so it's a fairly linear story throughout the entire book that doesn't get boring. Characters seem human, not just cardboard cutouts or with crazy inhuman smarts/skills/etc. Definitely worth a read. #bookstr

Happy new year

@FediTree What's my fedi tree looking like across the bridge?

I replaced an iffy valve stem on my car today, everything went well until the check engine light came on during my test drive (new, unrelated problem).

Finished reading Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin recently, it's a really good read. At the start it feels like the writing keeps branching in unrelated ways, only to abandon the plotlines and jump to something seemingly unrelated, but it all comes together in the latter half of the book. A very interesting read with a fairly unique execution. #bookstr
