OK, I am going to stop reading:
01: Jung Chang - Wild Swans.
From her first hand experience, my Mum had already told me about the Japanese atrocities, and the suffering in the cultural revolution, inflicted upon Chinese people.
I am finding it very painful and distressing to read about it.

Pete Ashton@Maker_of_Things Hah. Kate is a friend of mine. I used to teach photography with her husband. Lovely to see her name pop up in my stream!
@pete
Oooh! Do send her my regards. We used to talk on Twitter, back in the day.
Tell Kate I really have (probably) read 'The Psychology of Time Travel' more time than she has by now. 😄
@Maker_of_Things Aw, lovely. Will pass this on.

It is an excellent book and well worth a read. I thought I was good at looking up, but it seems there is so much I haven't been looking at, or noticing. A real eye-opener.
I am now reading:
15: Martha Wells - Artificial Condition.
BookShelves eBook ReaderArtificial Condition is such a great follow-up — Murderbot's media consumption alone earns the Hugo. Enjoy! #Bookstodon
The Oracle WokStation@Maker_of_Things artemis is alright, I think. Film options went out but it never happened.
Yet.
Edelruth, PBS Passport HolderYes! Hooray!
Come back in a few hours when you have finished and tell us what you thought.
@Edelruth
I have read the Murderbot Diaries so many times now.
Like many, I love the character of Murderbot, it really sums up life.

Ah ha! A comfort read. It's one of mine, too, especially All Systems Red.
Aimee Cozza Illustration@Maker_of_Things awwww yiss you'll love that one
@aimeecozza
Ahhh, yes. I have read the Murderbot Diaries so many times now, it is like Murderbot watching The Rise And Fall Of Sanctuary Moon.

PJ Evans@Maker_of_Things Loved Artemis. Hoping the success of PHM will get the film back on track.
Dave bauer@Maker_of_Things I need to get back on track reading Becky Chambers. Thanks for the reminder.
Chip Butty@davebauerart @Maker_of_Things I need to re read them.
Wonderdog 🏳️🌈@Maker_of_Things Some of my favourite books! I never tire of rereading these.
Sodomy Non Sapiens@Maker_of_Things do you think you could add a raiting to the finished books
@hollowman
I don't really want to and would rather not. I hate doing book reviews as they are all wonderful, except those that are awful.
I read them because I enjoy reading them, and others can look them up or ask more specifically about a book, if they want to.
@Maker_of_Things i wasn't thinking of a review, just a 1 - 5 grading
@hollowman
I'd still need to have a review in my head, to make a fair comparison.
Otherwise very book could be:
