1984 is taking me longer than I had hoped, which is too bad, it is really interesting to reread it.
Loving Margo's Money Trouble, and am listening to Pansies, Alexis Hall is my go to feel good listen.

Loved Prophet Song but don‘t think it will beat out Brotherless Night for best of the year.

My favorite book of May was Station Eleven which I read for the #AuthorAMonthChallenge hosted by @Soubhiville
In this dystopia, GB is fully surrounded by a concrete wall, guarded along its length by conscripted citizens to keep “others” out. We start by following a.freshly minted conscript as he adjusts to his new task. I thought this book was fascinating, and a stinging social commentary on everything from attitudes toward immigration, caste structure and climate change. #ReadYourEbooks
May #AuthorAMonth #AAM #ReadAway2024 I read another book by this author in May and both were impressive and entertaining. I don‘t necessarily believe that everything happens for a reason and I don‘t believe that is the author‘s intended message. But I do believe that we are all connected. I believe the author communicates this quite eloquently. I‘ll be reading more of her books in the future. Strongly recommended.
Loved the way this post-apocalyptic story was told, integrating before, during, and after and examining the ripples of human connection. St. John Mandel‘s imagination of what it must be like to have known all our modern conveniences and then live another whole lifetime without them is so vivid and convincing. I‘m not much of a re-reader but can see myself re-reading this book. Glad #authoramonth finally got me to read it!!
Beautiful, thoughtful, and deeply kind, The Morningside is about coming-of-age is a changed and changing world.
Did anyone else catch this article! I can't handle. She's a queen!
