It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book that I didn’t want to end. While I listen to a ton of audio books, I lost my attention span for physical books when Covid hit. I feel like this one could have finally broken my funk.

This was hysterical. I laughed the whole way through. I really enjoyed every moment.

Starter Villain by John Scalzi Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particula...

Loved this book so much, that I reread it again after just a few months. Probably going to listen to the audiobook now.

I’m not a cat person but if I can get a hyper-intelligent one to assist in my plot for world domination I can probably be persuaded #StarterVillain #JohnScalzi #BookSky

So, no reason really, but everyone who likes this skeet and thread should read @scalzi.com ‘s #StarterVillain

Interested in the opinion, which I assume exists, on this settlement, the judge’s response, and the general Goins-on around it, from a favorite author, and #StarterVillain creator.

Post image Since I'm a substitute teacher and so was the main character, let me just say that I was disappointed that the book didn't work in more detail about being a substitute teacher. Also after seeing the cover, I was disappointed that the main character was not a cat. 

That said, there was little else to be disappointed about. There's probably not another book out with a plot even close to this one, the cats and other creatures were awesome, everything was pretty hilarious. It did get a little dark and violent, but I'm okay with that too. 

I did the audiobook, and I love Wil Wheaton and his voice is great, but I didn't like that he gave many of the characters the same voice, it confused things sometimes for me. Also during some of the accented voices you could hear his normal voice slipping through occasionally. Still fun to listen to.

@scalzi.com #StarterVillain I kind of felt sad at the end of Charlie's story. I guess I wanted him to smash the oligarchy and save us all. But the bonus story was delightful and really cheered me up so thank you for including it! (I almost missed it as Kindle tried to force me back to the store!)

Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan.

Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie.

But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits. Jake had enemies, and now they're coming after Charlie. His uncle might have been a stand-up, old-fashioned kind of villain, but these are the real thing: rich, soulless predators backed by multinational corporations and venture capital.

It's up to Charlie to win the war his uncle started against a league of supervillains. But with unionized dolphins, hyper-intelligent talking spy cats, and a terrifying henchperson at his side, going bad is starting to look pretty good.

In a dog-eat-dog world...be a cat.

I’m not a cat person, but these two audiobooks featuring cats on their covers have been some of the best reading I’ve had this year.

It looks like #cats and #audiobooks for the win.

I'm currently reading #StarterVillain and am wondering if we should expect a collab between @scalzi.com & @theauthorguy.bsky.social because....whales. #TorpedoWhales #BiteMe

'The Dispatcher' Is A Short Stroll In A Strange Neighborhood John Scalzi's new novel — originally an audio book — imagines the implications of a world where 999 out of 1,000 murder victims pop back into existence, naked, confused and safe in their own beds.

So...elevated me purchased Scalzi's "The Dispacher" a while back and I settled on it after having just finished #StarterVillain . Really really good. The audiobook is a delight. Treat yo'self And I just discovered it's a series. Best day ever
