3.5 out of 5 stars It's not The Martian, but Artemis definitely does science the shit out of its surroundings. Goodreads.com: Artemis, by Andy Weir Artemis is advertised as a heist story, set on the moon. Heists?! My favorite. Sci-fi?! Also on the list! And I knew my husband would be into it on audiobook … Continue reading Review: Artemis

Eve is a teen girl, post-apocalyptic mechanic-slash-robot demolition derby fighter, partly enhanced herself by some rigged up … Continue reading Review: Lifel1k3
4.5 out of 5 stars A thrilling build up and climax to the very clever end of the Mortal Engines series. Goodreads.com: A Darkling Plain, by Philip Reeve (Mortal Engines #4) The plot is so robust it's impossible to encapsulate, but suffice to say: The Green Storm is winning the battle to end traction cities, … Continue reading Review: A Darkling Plain
