@Well_Worth_A_Read@bookstodon@horrorbooks My holiday was nice and uneventful. I can't seem to concentrate enough lately to get into books but I'm plodding along hoping to find one that grabs me. I'm sure one will soon. And btw, cool Jasmine Beckett art! Love her stuff. 😍
@stina_marie@bookstodon@horrorbooks Glad you had a good holiday. It's hard to concentrate on reading this time of year. I only managed this one because it was a short story. Hopefully you will find lots of awesome reads in the new year.
@LaurenJodi@bookstodon@horrorbooks The artwork is gorgeous on that deck. I have an addiction to Tarot and Oracle cards, I've collected quite a few but this is one of my favorites.
Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. The writing was not credible and clearly wasn't vetted by anyone with a background in digital security.
Anathem by Neal Stephenson. I have a love/hate relationship with Stephenson. He writes beautiful prose and has some cool ideas, but he diverges on far too many tangents.
Streets of Laredo by Larry McMurtry. McMurtry stuck his finger clearly in the eye of Lonesome Dove fans in chapter 2.
@Enema_Cowboy@Jennifer@bookstodon@horrorbooks That's always so disappointing when you can tell a book has not been researched at all and the author doesn't know what they're talking about.

The worst book in that I've read in that regard is The Enemy, by Lee Child. I was in the Army around the time that book was set in, and I've spent more time at Fort Irwin than I would have liked. Too bad there aren't any soldiers with which he could have consulted. @Jennifer@bookstodon@horrorbooks
@Well_Worth_A_Read@bookstodon@horrorbooks the book I'm talking about is an author on here so I'm not going to share the name, and it's interesting, but just some parts are like... what?? I think the problem is the last few science fiction books I read are SO GOOD that I have high expectations! I switched to a cozy mystery last night because my expectations are a lot lower for that genre. So far it's a fun read!
