Summer reading recs?!

I’m looking to compile a big pile of IRL books for summer beach reading.

Big fan of scifi, specfic, murder mysteries. Strong female characters = bonus points. Can’t deal with darkness. Nothing high brow or tedious. Nonfiction lover but that list is already bursting at the seams.

I also love long series - 3 body problem, wheel of time, foundation … those waves all have good memories attached.

If that brings anything to mind, please send the rec!!

@NicoleCRust The Expanse series will keep you busy if you haven't read it yet. Good mixed cast with some very strong females in the mix.

Iain M Banks's Culture novels too - especially Use of Weapons or Against A Dark Background (not Culture but still fab)

Whether that is true I am as yet unsure

@llamasoft_ox the lack of certainty is probably a positive sign

Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks the fact that the Earth spins at 1,000 miles an hour and that “we have no idea we’re even moving” means that God must be real. Okay… well, Marjorie’s big mouth moves at 1,000 miles an hour, and I have no idea what she’s even saying, so Satan must be real, too.

@georgetakei and it's orbiting at ninety miles a second (so it's reckoned) a sun which is the source of all our power. Therefore baby Jesus.

"The EU has just sent formal letter to Elon Musk over "indications" that Twitter/X is “being used to disseminate illegal content and disinformation in the EU" in the wake of Hamas’ attacks on Israel."

has 24 hours to respond. I love it!

@pallenberg @ThierryBreton ummm does he even geography? A civil war would need to be within a country presumably. A war between two European countries would be... a war?
But as ever, dumbass ignorant projection rather than thought.

This week on Serious Trouble: long sentences in January 6 cases, a questionable new RICO case against protestors in Georgia, Ken Chesebro and Sydney Powell are not mutual admirers, Donald Trump loses more in the E. Jean Carroll case, and Elon Musk yells about defamation and Jews.

Loved that man. Having grown up watching him interview greats, my first appearance was impossibly thrilling for me. The genius of Parky was that unlike most people (and most of his guests, me included) he was always 100% himself. On camera and off. “Authentic” is the word I suppose. For one of the shows I was on with Robin Williams, a genius of unimaginable comic speed and brilliance. Now they’re both gone, damn it
