| Gerald Livingston is an orbital garbage collector. For a hundred years,
people have been abandoning things in space, and someone has to clean it
up. But there’s something spinning a little bit higher than he expects,
something that isn’t on the decades’ old orbital maps. An hour after he
grabs it and brings it in, rumors fill Earth’s infomesh about an “alien
artifact.” Thrown into the maelstrom of worldwide shared experience, the Artifact is a game-changer. A message in a bottle; an alien capsule that wants to communicate. The world reacts as humans always do: with fear and hope and selfishness and love and violence. And insatiable curiosity.(Amazon) |
Sadly, I'm embarrassed to admit I've made very little progress. I blame this on work, which, while I am grateful to have found a job, I also find it to be very time consuming! I haven't even read one book this month! Granted, Existence is long enough to make two, but still, I'm only a few hundred pages in. And since I haven't finished it I can't really say much except that I'm enjoying it.
What are you reading? Did you sign up for the fest? Want to see who did?

It takes me three months at least to read one book! LOL!! I say so long as you are enjoying your read!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend! Take care

That's all right - Squid will understand. Takes me a long time to read a book as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Amazon blurb alone is highly intriguing. The cosmic garbage collector idea reminds me of a Backyardigans episode.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, Alex is correct. This is all about sharing our love of reading. No judgments or guilt - at least, not from me. I'm so glad you've joined us!
lol orbital garbage collector! Delightful!
ReplyDeleteLove the new headbanner
That book sounds really interesting. I've been having the same problem as you. I'm i the middle of about 3 books and just can't seem to finish even one. But it's great that you have a job Yay! Have a great weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe book looks really good. From what I understand, we really do need an orbital garbage collector. I'm going to check it out. I finally picked up Dan Brown's Inferno this week to read.
ReplyDeleteWork and life do get in the way.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm grateful to be employed, but my job always gets in the way of my reading and writing too!! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yay - this post made me feel so much better! Glad you're enjoying the book abd I look forward to the review next month (no pressure).
ReplyDeleteI've been reading very short novels. Things that are maybe 100 pages. So, novellas or short stories, really. It's nice to finish things in one sitting.
ReplyDeleteBut now I'm intrigued by this book. Sigh. One more thing for the TBR pile.
Glad you have a job. When it comes to reading, I'm a demon. I read into the early hours of the morning as I don't need much sleep thank goodness. This book looks intriguing. Be interested if you review it when you finish it. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat with the day job and working on the house I seem to have no time for reading at all :-(
ReplyDeleteCollege life and school get in the way of my writing in general.

I have FINALLY decided to read a bit every night before I crash... I haven't read consistently since I began writing, but now, since my accident I've decided it's too important to neglect.
ReplyDeleteI am currently ready Anne R. Allen's, THE GATSBY GAME... so far I really am enjoying it...
Have a great weekend, Marcy...
So glad to see a genre that I write! Yay! Brin is a name I know and love. I'll check this out.
ReplyDeleteThe description sounds intriguing. I can sympathize with the lack of time to do more reading... I have joked to The Armchair Squid before that often the "best book of the month" is the ONLY book I've read that month! :) Hope you continue to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteDid you say 'a few hundred pages'? LOL
ReplyDeleteI made sure my favorite book of the month was a nice, EASY, read, that's where you went wrong!
Sci-fi is my favorite genre, and that book does sound great, so I will have to look for it, thanks for the review!

This sounds like a fun read :) Going to check it out on GR.
ReplyDeleteSounds somewhat similar to Brin's Postman.
