Book Review and House Progress

Jocelyn at Happy Cottage Quilter inspired me to join NetGalley as a reader.

This past week I read The Dyodyne Experiment by James Doulgeris and V. Michael Santoro. It's a free read for Kindle Unlimited users on Amazon HERE.

I truly enjoyed this book! This action-packed story with a technological edge was similar to a Clive Cussler, Michael Crichton (Congo) or Steve Alton (The Meg) novel. The scientific breakthroughs involved in the storyline were believable with just enough detail to make you think, hmmm, that's alarming, brilliant, and amazing, then a few complications were dangled which kept the story moving.  Wow, what if the DaNA technology became reality in a few years?  I enjoyed the interplay between Sarah and Tim plus the secondary characters. Uncle Billy seemed a bit too much of a superman to be true, but that doesn't detract from the fun.  The book ends with an imperfect happy-ever-after (some characters have to die, after all) and a glimpse into a topic for the next book. If you like to read about chillingly potential technology and fast-paced action with some love interest (but nothing explicit), then grab this book! I look forward to reading more by authors Doulgeris and Santoro.

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

On the quilting front, I finished blocks 9 through 12 this week on the Moda "Be My Neighbor" quilt (no new pic yet). The last four blocks should be finished up this weekend.  This has been such a fun quilt to make!
What are you working on this week?
