The Vaccine Race - Science, Politics, and the Human Costs of Defeating Disease by Meredith Wadman
Possibly a *few* that might interest you but probably not as bad as you were expecting [grin]
Not AS bad...Rocket Girls is on my TBR already.
DeleteI've got to add Apollo 11, River Kings, and possibly The Light Ages. THANKS A LOT! lol
COULD have been a lot worse..... Maybe this week??? [lol]
DeleteYou are TROUBLE! lol
DeleteOoh I also have The Sanatorium on my TBR, so I'll be eager to see what you think of it. So far the reaction among my other bookish friends has been pretty mixed.
ReplyDeleteHonestly...it took forever for me to slog through. There's absolutely zero indication of why the murders are occurring, so the reader has no chance to even make an educated guess. It's all over the place and there's no cohesion whatsoever. I will definitely be skipping the rest of the series!
DeleteThe Sanatorium. Yes.
ReplyDeleteI need Never Saw Me Coming as well.
Never Saw Me Coming is a major YES!!!!
DeleteThe Sanatorium ended up being awful. The reader had no backstory on which to make any educated guesses as to why the murders were occurring, so it wasn't a "twist" it was just word vomit at the end. Blech.
A lot of good ones this time!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely! Never Saw Me Coming was especially fantastic - who knw psychopaths could be so much fun?!
DeleteLooks like some heavy topics in this lot!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I haven't bought or borrowed any new books this week or last... maybe I'm broken!
Heavy yes, but also very worthwhile.
DeleteModeration is good...maybe no books this past week means dozens next week!
nice selections. happy reading
