    Thanks, I am going to check out the Mur Lafferty books and even the starter villain book! I could really use some fun to read books during the winter months! Stay well!

    I've somehow never caught these catch-ups/updates before and I loved this!!

    Awesome video Daisy! I remember the video where you chose Chaos Terminal. That series sounds fun. Starter Villain sounds right up my alley.

    I have only read ‘Starter Villain’ which I bless but I do plan to read ‘On Earth as It is on Television’ and the Mur Lafferty books sometimes this year.

      I'm curious what you'd think of On Earth! The Mur Lafferty books are light fun.

    I love your reviews! I recently got On Earth as It Is on Television from seeing it in your previous video. Can’t wait to get to it.

    Oh have you read A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher? LOVED IT. One of the best book I read last year. I recommend it, if you haven't!
    I have Station Eternity but haven't read it yet. Knowing that they read like an Agatha Christie though has made it suddenly much more interesting! Another great video! ❤

      Wizard's Guide was the first Kingfisher I read and have since read several more of her novels--including her middle grade children's under a different pen name!

    "Adopted Robot Monkey" my new band name Have you ever watched the tv series "Midsommer Murders"?

    • @DaisyXMachina

      Heh! I don't think I've seen Midsommer Murders but definitely heard of it and know the Midsolar books are a play on it!

    I enjoyed Starter Villain a lot because cats and Scalzi's humor is totally my brand. I didn't dislike Kaiju either but I wouldn't say it is one of my favorites. On Earth as it is in Television is on TBR and I might even get to it in February.

    • @DaisyXMachina

      I enjoyed Starter Villain a lot too! I didn't dislike Kaiju--I just thought the humor didn't work with the storyline (when a character doesn't take a situation seriously when it's life or death than I find myself not caring about the situation). Hope you enjoy On Earth!!!

    Kinda funny-with your review of “ …On TV”: space ships appearing over cities- your reference was “Independence Day” while my first thought was Clark’s “Childhoods End”

      Heh! I should of thought of Childhood's End!

    Read Starter Villain because Scalzi. Thought it was fun, though a bit slight. Very fast read. To see him at his best, read The Interdependency series, which is much more ambitious and incidentally funnier than Starter Villain.

    • @DaisyXMachina
      @DaisyXMachina  Рік тому +1

      Oh, cool, I've been wondering what books put Scalzi on the map!

      @@DaisyXMachina The novel that first gained him a lot of attention was Old Man's War (2005), which led to a series of (so far) six other books in that universe.
