Just got this as a gift and it's legit. Murderbot is so popular now I have to wait over a month for the library to have a copy available.

No more! Now I'm big dog owner of digital books, look at me. Look at me.

Such a fantastic series. I read the entire thing over two weeks while I had nothing better to do and I am so glad I did.

I'm jealous of how quickly you can read. Each one takes me almost a month.

I cheat a little bit. I always get the paper, digital and audiobook of whatever I'm reading.

Nothing to do? Paper. On break at work? E-book. Cooking dinner? Audiobook at 2x.

That said, I read the entire first novella in one night in bed and then I downloaded/borrowed everything else.

OK I would probably read more quickly if I spread it out like that. I basically only read fiction in bed, and I tend to fall asleep pretty quickly. 😪

Haha same. That's why I started with the other formats. I would hit the sheets, read a page then wake up to my alarm.

I'm jealous of how slowly you can! Having that muchmore time to savor the best books, rather than tearing through them too quickly and having to wade through junk trying to find something worth reading.
