I think I started five different books before I finally got stuck into Shadows Have Offended. I’ve been looking for comfort reads, and re-reading a LOT of fanfiction, so I finally just gave in and picked up some of the licensed variety – as that’s what media tie-in novels feel like to me. YMMV. Also, between playing Mass Effect: Andromeda and loving both Project Hail Mary and A Psalm for the Wild-Built last week, I’m still in an SFnal kind of mood.
This week’s cat picture looks like all the boy cats decided to have a convention in the front hallway – or at least a terribly serious meeting about something. And probably something that the humans in the house should worry about. A lot. (Sorry the picture is small. When I tried to get closer, the convention broke up. I guess they really didn’t want me to learn what they were plotting!)

I can’t wait to hear what you think about the final girl support groups. I also got my hands on a copy and had mixed feelings. I’ll be back.
I’m wondering too. I did not like Southern Book Club nearly as much as everyone else did. So we’ll definitely see!

Certainly agree on the media tie-ins, no shade to them, of course, mostly just that they’re generally non-canon. I need to pick up Project Hail Mary, heard so many good things about it but I have The Martian and Artemis still to read on my shelves so I should… wait…? (waiting? what is that?! xD)

Gosh I love that cat photo, they look like they are plotting something (and probably are). I need to read some Andy Weir.
