E-ARC received in from the lovely people over at @harpercollinsus & @williammorrowbooks. This sucker weighs in at almost 900 pages and hits shelves on June 4th. This will actually be my first Stephenson, though I have several of his novels in hand. What’re your thoughts on Stephenson’s body of work? 📖 In his youth, Richard “Dodge” Forthrast founded Corporation 9592, a gaming company that made him a multibillionaire. Now in his middle years, Dodge appreciates his comfortable, unencumbered life, managing his myriad business interests, and spending time with his beloved niece Zula and her young daughter, Sophia. One beautiful autumn day, while he undergoes a routine medical procedure, something goes irrevocably wrong. Dodge is pronounced brain dead and put on life support, leaving his stunned family and close friends with difficult decisions. Long ago, when a much younger Dodge drew up his will, he directed that his body be given to a cryonics company now owned by enigmatic tech entrepreneur Elmo Shepherd. Legally bound to follow the directive despite their misgivings, Dodge’s family has his brain scanned and its data structures uploaded and stored in the cloud, until it can eventually be revived. In the coming years, technology allows Dodge’s brain to be turned back on. It is an achievement that is nothing less than the disruption of death itself. An eternal afterlife—the Bitworld—is created, in which humans continue to exist as digital souls. But this brave new immortal world is not the Utopia it might first seem . . . 📖 #book #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #bookstoread #booksbooksbooks #booksonbooks #blog #blogs #bookblog #bookblogs #bookblogger #bookblogger #arc #arcs #earc #earcs

“Yo dawg. I heard you liked @jonathan.janz, so I got you some Jonathan Janz to go with your Jonathan Janz, just in case you didn’t have enough Jonathan Janz.” - Xzibit voice Shoutout to @flametreepress and @sminiaci for the beautiful ARCs. Oh, and Jonathan Janz. 💀☠️👹👺 #bookstagrammer #bookmailisthebestmail #bookstagrammers #bookstagram #books #bookstoread #booksbooksbooks #blog #blogs #horror #flametreepublishing #flametreepress #lovetoread
Some UHHHHMAZING bookmail arrived in the form of Justin Travis Call’s ‘Master of Sorrows (The Silent Gods #1).’ I’m always disappointed when I see a book being hyped in the UK, only to find out it isn’t available in the US and there is no timetable for its release. But that is where @bookdepository comes in. They are my one-stop shop for GORGEOUS UK editions of my favorite books, and for those not available in my home country. 📚 The Academy of Chaenbalu has stood against magic for centuries. Hidden from the world, acting from the shadows, it trains its students to detect and retrieve magic artifacts, which it jealously guards from the misuse of others. Because magic is dangerous: something that heals can also harm, and a power that aids one person may destroy another. Of the Academy's many students, only the most skilled can become Avatars - warrior thieves, capable of infiltrating the most heavily guarded vaults - and only the most determined can be trusted to resist the lure of magic. More than anything, Annev de Breth wants to become one of them. 📚 #bookstagrammer #bookmailisthebestmail #bookstagrammers #bookstagram #books #blog #blogs #blogger #bloggers #bookblog #bookblogs #bookblogger #bookbloggers #fantasy #fantasybooks #beautifulcovers #bookcovers
I don’t normally participate in month-long IG to-dos, but @duttonbooks sent me some fantastic bookish swag that I though fit well with today’s #marchcolorblast theme of neon. Unpopular opinion time, though... I just recently DNF’ed the highly popular and vastly recommended Final Girls by Riley Sager. The beginning hook never quite sunk in and I felt like I was slogging through the first 30%. Really hoping The Last Time I Lied is a turning point in my relationship with the author’s works. I also haven’t read anything by Kiernan so I’m interested to see what her writing style is like. Happy Hump Day! . . . #bookstagram #books #bookstoread #booksbooksbooks #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #bookstagramit #bookstagramer #bookmail #bookmailisthebestmail #bookblog #bookreview #blog #blogs #blogger
Today’s menu offers two courses: We have a gritty noir fantasy thriller with shades of Law and Order: SVU mixed with Happy! and Men in Black, but absolutely NO disco music. Full review to come later today or tomorrow. We also have the sequel to one of last year’s best science fiction novels and for me personally, one of THE most original alien takeover series to date. The writing is exquisite; the prose tantalizing. You can find my review via the link in my bio. All in all, Happy Book Birthday to @danstoutwriter and Tade Thompson. These are both fantastic novels that need to be on your bookshelf, let alone your wishlist.
