For sci fi fans (which... I'm guess is a lot of you ), I want to recommend Michael C. Grumley's Breakthrough series. So far there are 4, with a fifth in progress. They are quick reads and action-packed. The main plot in the first one is that scientists build a computer program that allows them to talk to dolphins. The government then uses the program to investigate some disturbances at the bottom of the ocean.I randomly borrowed the first of the series from the Kindle Owners Lending Library last year, and I was finally able to get my hands on the fourth one, so I'm all caught up. I believe all of them are available on Kindle Unlimited. Only the first one is available on Prime Reading, but they are all still available for lending through the Lending Library (which is unfortunately one-book-per-calendar-month).I'm not scientifically minded, so I don't know how accurate the science is in these, but the books present (to me, anyway) as hard science fiction.Anyway, I think they're fun books, so I wanted to let people know about them.
Just finished Robin Hobb's latest Farseer book, loved it and am now carrying on with the Dresden Files - on book 10 and absolutely love them!
Just finishing "The Handmaid's Tale" , while watching the Hulu series.
I'm hoping he might have some Artemis ARCs at SDCC this year...
I'll check them out. I recommended The Martian to some coworkers and they keep bugging me for more hard sci fi recommendations but don't have the patience for things like Asimov's Foundation. Picky buggers.
The Batman Elmer Fudd comic that is out today is really, really good. (So good I didn't type "weally, weally good" in the last sentence.)

I finished Handmaid's Tale yesterday. Wish it could go on and on...
My small town library just got ebook access a few months ago so I finally got a library card!! I didn't get one before because they were pretty much only open during the hours I was at work. But now, I have read so many books already! I just read Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood since I loved the Handmaid's Tale and now I'm on to the "sequel" The Year of The Flood. Oryx and Crake was really good-another dystopian novel but it's hard to describe without giving out spoilers. The Year of the Flood is more like a companion as it takes place around the same time but with different characters. I'm having a hard time getting hooked but I'm only 25% through it. I know the third book in this series goes back to Oryx and Crake (or I think at least) so I'm going to push through as I want to know what happens with those guys. If you liked The Handmaid's Tale I would recommend Oryx and Crake. It is written more like a novel, it doesn't have the grammar "issues" like Handmaid, but does share the dystopia themes and social issues.
