Took me a VERY long time to read this e-book, but I finally did! A young man goes on a cycling vacation, and meets a young lady who is cycling with an older companion who has unwelcome designs on her.
A Murderbot novel, but I don't know which one of the series. Murderbot goes to some planet with a lost colony or two, battles with aliens/not aliens, and meets some like souls.
I enjoyed reading this very much. I REALLY appreciate the short sections so that I could rest! The story of Indigo and Cloud was perhaps my favorite. Little Stone was a crack-up!
The Murderbot Diaries #7. SecUnit is on the same planet as the last book, which I don't remember, and the B-E corporate folks are apparently there to con the colonists into leaving the planet to become economic serfs, or slaves, or something. There are two more SecUnits to deal with, actually three. Our SecUnit comes out ahead in the end!
The Books of the Raksura #2, I read somewhere. Good story, I read it over several days, with one massive marathon session on the last days. I only noticed one "raised eyebrow"...

Moon had been consort to Jade, sister queen of the Indigo Cloud Court, for eleven days and nobody had tried to kill him yet. He thought is was going well so far.--pg. 9
The Books of the Raksura #3. The story moves right along, and is quite interesting. I went to the bag-o-books to get the next one, but I don't have it yet! Yikes!
I've been captivated by the cover of this book for several years, and so decided to finally read it. I found it alternating sad, funny, poignant, threatening, and depressing. I liked it, but it seems maybe a little more YA than middle school. I guess the period of pot smoking was important to the story, but I wished the author had left out the one f**K, three bi**chs, four d**kheads, one g*dd*m*ed, and maybe the one kiss*ss. And it seemed the protagonist was having her period every other chapter.
Words I Had To Look Up:
Boucle -- Heavy looped pile. Refers to a sweater, in this case. Pg. 102

Oh. My. God. Ms. Wiles had been right. I was in love with a small-time prep school drug dealer.
Typo:
...injected ... with an overdose of heroine. -- pg. 234
