Bizarro is very appropriate and I don’t know how I came to have this one on my shelf. LOL
GOODREADS BLURB
Planet-sized amusement parks, robo-pirates, and a sentient placenta! Step right up! Captain Carl the robo-pirate is one of the few Artificial Intelligences living on Venus-the amusement park planet. When Carl is given the spark of intelligence by his creator, he becomes a creator himself. No longer just an automaton from a pirate ride, Captain Carl creates the love of his life and searches for her perfect body. He thinks he’s found it in a big placenta. But programming is everything. When the placenta’s desire to reproduce kicks-in, the whole park is endangered as the organ grows to monster size, spreading placenta babies across the planet and eating all the rides (and the people riding them!). Captain Carl must band together with a cat, a creator, and the Pope of The Church of Transubstantial Birth Fear to stop his love from killing everyone and destroying the park. Yarrrrr!

Well, who the hell knows how this came to be on my TBR, even those I am always on the lookout for something new and different. It seems like a hoot, sooooo, I may get to it when I’m in one of those moods where nothing seems to fit what I want to read. It is a novella, so it should be a quick read. I added this on 9.8.12. How about you? Do you step outside your reading comfort zone?

So bizarre, but made me laugh just from the blurb and got my curiosity piqued. 🙂
it did the same for me. lol
I don’t even know how to respond to this one, lol
it sounds too weird not to read it. lol
That title! I never thought about a placenta that way.
me neither. lol
Sounds odd and I’m always up for that. Wild looking cover too!
i felt the same way. it’s either going to be a wonderful surprise or one of the worst books ever. i have to know. lol
It sounds like a few of us are struggling with our reading at the moment! Maybe we need to start a support group!
lol that’s when i look for something different and the title alone, for this book, caught me. lol
