Perfect Memories by Lindsey Powell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is the second book in the series. If I hadn’t read the first book right before starting this book, I wouldn’t have known what was going on. The story seemed forced after the memory part of the story was done. I enjoyed this story less than the first one, but I felt that I needed to know how the first story ended up after the cliffhanger ending.
A while ago, I read Lovecraft Country for bookclub. I was excited to hear that there would be a series coming out that was based on the book.
I got a hold of a login for HBO Max and I started watching it. (Thank you, you know who you are) It’s rather intense in some parts, but the story is great.
Inky seems interested in it, too. It’s been a while since we read the book, so it was nice to have a refresher.
The above link is a website that tells about which order book series should be read. I think it would helpful when your series numbers aren’t clearly written on the cover.
The layout seems good and they take suggestions if they are missing series. I hope it helps someone besides me. I think it’s great.
Exit Strategy by Martha Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
While I do love this series, this one just didn’t grab me like the others have. It’s needed to keep the series going, and we need to know what is going on with the characters, but the other books in the series were better.
Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This third book in the series is just as good as the others I have read so far. I love the stories, but this one started out very slow, too. I had to finish it quickly to find out what happened to the characters. I’m looking forward to the next two that are already published and the 6th that comes out in April of 2021.
I look forward to the series mentioned in the above linked article. The movie is one of my favorite movies, and I look forward to hearing new stories based on the female baseball players. It seems to be coming out on Amazon Prime Video, but I can’t seem to be able to tell when it will be coming out.
The series Pitch was short-lived, but I loved that, too. I hope that women in baseball becomes more prominent. Not just as announcers.

Goddess in Time by Tera Lynn Childs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book as part of the Oh.My.Gods series. I wouldn’t have been able to follow it if I hadn’t read the other books.
With the way the book ended, I hope there’s another book in this series. One more story to tie up the loose ends.
According to the above linked article, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy premiered 42 years ago yesterday. Happy birthday!
I may have to reread this series again. After I get the stuff with deadlines read. To quote Douglas Adams: “I love deadlines,” he wrote. “I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.” I am finding lately that this is very true, and keeps my schedule less crazy if I don’t finish stuff in time and I can’t go to the event that had the deadline. Who am I kidding? It’ll be crazy for a while.
The above linked article talks about fantasy series that are worth starting. I have several of the books in many of these series. Some are on my TBR list, some have been started. One of these days I’ll get to them.

Where to Start? The Curse of Chalion
Finished? Kind of. The first 3 can work together as a trilogy, and are completed. She’s been adding novellas to the series with Penric’s story.
