Sci-Fi Month 2018 - The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet (Wayfarers #1) by Becky Chambers + 50/50 Friday

On Friday's I take part in three weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice, Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader, and 50/50 Friday is a new weekly link up and it is hosted by Carrie @ The Butterfly Reader and Laura @ Blue Eye Books. For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader. Then, for 50/50 Friday, every week there's a new topic featuring two sides of the same coin - you share a book that suits each category and link up on the hosts blogs.

Welcome to Sci-Fi Month 2018!  Sci-Fi Month is a month long celebration of all things sci-fi and it's hosted by Imyril @ One More and Lisa @ Dear Geek Place (Image credit: Photo by Greg Rakozy on Unsplash, Quote from The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers).

This week I'm spotlighting one of my current Sci-Fi Month reads and one of my Read Harder Challenge books, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (Wayfarers #1) by Becky Chambers which the above quote is from.  I'm glad to be finally getting into this and I'm particularly enjoying it so far.

Beginning: 

As she woke up in the pod, she remembered three things.  First, she was traveling through open space.  Second, she was about to start a new job, one she could not screw up.  Third, she had bribed a government official into giving her a new identity file.  None of this information was new, but it wasn't pleasant to wake up to.

56:

"Well, if this band hates the establishment that much then I doubt they'll care about me making up my own words."

50/50 Friday: Favorite/ Least Favorite Book Written In The 2000s

Favorite - Through Wolf's Eyes (Firekeeper Saga #1) by Jane Lindskold - I know I don't mention it enough, but this epic fantasy series is one of my all time favorites!

Least Favorite - Gossip Girl (Gossip Girl #1) by Cecily von Ziegesar - I have no clue why I randomly decided to take this book home with me from the library.  I made it through the first couple of chapters before I realized I was down to my last brain cell and decided to give up the ghost.
