An excellent racy romance that takes place in the world of current-day public radio and NPR. A tad predictable, but still thoroughly enjoyable. Also NSFW

I think my rating is mostly based on the ending... Not sure if I love where the series is going? But I'm not ready to give up on it yet and I'll be reading the next one to find out.

The third book I a series, but each novel can stand on its own and be read independently. This one is a very steamy romance with two neuro-diverse people. I loved it. Very racy/smutty/explicit - not for young readers at all.

A novel about queer women - both transgender and cisgender (meaning their gender identity matches the gender they were assigned at birth). I learned about a lot of experiences and perspectives they are different from my own, and makes me very introspective.

It was neat to read a historical fiction take on the 1913 Women's March from the perspectives os several key women. I particularly enjoyed Alice Paul's story line because she grew up not far from where I live. I want to learn more about Ida B. Wells after reading this book, too.

2021 review: read this for the first time in 5 years, and after watching the movie several times during that time. I'd forgotten how different the quests are in the book than the movie. They both stand on their own very well, each geeky and adventure-y and entertaining in the same but different ways.

2016 review: Loved loved loved this book. 80's pop culture + computers + gaming. Loved it all. Will Wheaton doing the audio book narration makes it a double treat. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

I almost want to call this "a coming of age story", except the character experiencing the revelations is an 85 year old woman. This is a sweet story with lovely characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I am completely happy to never climb Mt Everest and instead just live vicariously through the written descriptions of others who have done it.

I learned things about Everest itself and the experience of climbing it that I hadnt learned in other accounts. The book itself covers a lot of ground from the history of the mountain to the Sherpas who guide hundreds of people each year, to the politics and ethics that surround the climb.

A bit cheesy, but a fine little who-dunnit.

I enjoyed this addition to the Outlander series. It wasn't the most fast-paced of the series, nor my favorite, but I enjoyed it. I suspect this is the calm before the storm - lots of story lines continued, a few characters added, a couple story lines resolved, and plenty of things to get wrapped up in a future novel.

The last few chapters of the book seemed a little rushed, but while listening to it, I never wanted to put it down - hence 4 stars.
