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.
