Escape from Spiderhead by George Saunders
5.0
This was a reread for me and even though it's been years, the story was memorable. I remember really liking this short story and after rereading it, that opinion still holds. It has such an interesting concept and I definitely recommend this to anyone new to short stories.

By the rate I'm reading this series, I have a feeling this is going to turn into one of my favorite series this year! I was so thoroughly entertained by Murderbot's thoughts and the characters that were introduced in this 2nd installation! I laughed more for this book than the last and the humor absolutely landed for me. Not only that, the plot is drawing me in inch by inch and I am so curious how this entire story as a whole is going to keep growing and develop itself. Really excited for the next book and am having a fantastic time as I delve deeper into this world! Loved this!!
Ain't Burned All the Bright by Jason Reynolds
Really had me reflecting over 2020 and how one can handle such a crazy time period in our lives. And just how important family and your loved ones are. Listening to it in audiobook format was great and the narrator hit every line harder than the last. Overall, I really liked it and it got me back into reading again after a month slump!

Okay, I had some idea of what I was getting into, but I DID NOT expect to get so invested in Murderbot. I genuinely laughed at Murderbot's thoughts and his point of view absolutely fascinated me. How they view the world and their relatable desire to escape their reality of being a robot whose job is to, well, murder. And how "his" humans treated him made me both laugh and cringe from the sheer awkwardness that pours out of Murderbot to a hilarious degree. Overall, I 100% want to read the rest of the series and am very impressed by how fast this short novella got me invested in Murderbot's life. I am excited to see how the world and Murderbot's experiences will expand as the series goes on! Really glad I picked this up!!
