Hey y'all!
It's time again to spin the wheel of TBR! I did actually spin the wheel a couple of days ago, but didn't post right away because I had just uploaded TBR Wheel #1.
I actually did finish Maggot Moon the day I posted about spinning it, and decided instead of doing individual review posts I'd rather do a summer reading wrap-up, so look for that near the end of August/early September.
I'll go ahead now and just get to the pick, which I actually have a screen grab of this time.
Aurora Rising - Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
I actually started this one a long time ago and got a little under 200 pages in before stopping. Not sure why I stopped though because I do remember enjoying the story. And I have read Illuminae by them as well and really liked that one, (speaking of...that's another series I'd like to continue reading).
The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch…
A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm
A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates
A smart-ass techwiz with the galaxy’s biggest chip on his shoulder
An alien warrior with anger management issues
A tomboy pilot who’s totally not into him, in case you were wondering
And Ty’s squad isn’t even his biggest problem—that’d be Aurora Jie-Lin O’Malley, the girl he’s just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler’s squad of losers, discipline-cases and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.
They're not the heroes we deserve. They're just the ones we could find. Nobody panic.
