Our May 2025 Books of the Month are:

Network Effect

The Mask of Mirrors

Elatsoe May/June Mod Pick

Well I promise to read The Mask of Mirrors as I nominated it, I've got it queued up. I picked it up because it was a dual-author effort and one of the authors is Marie Brennan whose books I've enjoyed before. Interested to see what it looks likes when she writes with another author. Will probably get to it mid-month and will share my thoughts.

I've already read Network Effect but I gave it 5 stars, the whole Murderbot series is incredible in my opinion and I really hope she writes more. On a side note, Apple TV+'s adaptation of the first one will be out next month.

Oh, and I mentioned it in the thread for book deals, but since it's the book of the month, also sharing here, Network Effect is $2.99 on Kindle on Amazon US right now. I'm not sure how long the deal is running for so don't delay if you were wanting to pick it up. Usually they are a lot more than that, even the novellas, so it's a great opportunity.

I'm re-reading the Murderbot books when they come up as books of the month. They were all 5 stars for me as well. I saw a trailer for the series, and it looks gooood! I don't have appletv but maybe I can watch it somewhere else.

They are offering Apple TV+ also for $2.99/month for 3 months, through tomorrow, if you didn't use a free trial before. https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd....

I think our mod special will be Elatsoe.

Long wait for Mirrors, and I did Network Effect already, but Elatsoe is available.
