Loved this. I came to Martha Wells via SF through Murderbot, was not sure if I would "take" to her fantasy. Now looking forward to reading through her back catalog.

AnotherRebecca reviewed The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton
Old Friend
5 stars
My copy was handed down, dog-eared, almost worn out. I am a little too old for the movie to have been pivotal (that was my younger sister). I cannot count the number of times I read this book as a teenager.

Long-time favorite
5 stars
I found this at the public library in Columbia, Missouri, back in 1988. I was at the bookstore placing an order a day or two later (a laborious process at that time). I've been a Stephenson fan ever since. I was able to get my first edition trade paperback signed when he came to St. Louis during the Fall tour. I reread this every 5 years or so and still enjoy it.
