We now know the truth. Diversity results not in universal good but in evil. We know that music, art, dance, poetry—all these ancient and deviant activities—only inflame the emotions. They must be rooted out. We discovered long ago that there is but one road to Universal Good, and that road begins with Conformity. Conformity begets Harmony begets Tranquility begets Peace begets Universal Good. ⬇️

Wow 🤩
I loved The Book of Speculation, so I was excited to read another book by Swyler.
But I was blown away by how amazing this is.

If you are a fan of the Netflix series DARK, you should check this out. Not exactly the same story. But same themes, and a similar scenario.

Just a beautiful story of how far we‘ll go for love ♥️

ErikasMindfulShelf This has been on my bookshelf forever. Need to move it up my tbr. 15h
Sweettartlaura @ErikasMindfulShelf yes👍🏻. And same - it‘s been sitting next to my bed for at least a year. I finally opened it, and I finished it 24 hours later. It‘s 👏🏻 so 👏🏻 good🙌🏻 12h

Kindred | Octavia Butler

#Read2025

Catching up on reviews. I had planned to read a couple of #OctaviaButler books for #AuthorAMonth October but ran out of time. I did relisten to Kindred which I first listened to back in 2017. The lapse in time between readings did not lessen the power of Butler‘s story & its weight on my soul. Not an easy listen, it is very intense & haunting with more than its share of triggers; slavery, violence, sexual assault, etc. but excellent.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Finally got round to reading this, the eighth book in the Outlander series.

Two of my favorite characters in this book are the children, Vinny and Alf. They are some troublesome kids, but likeable. The story, near the end, took an interesting and unexpected turn involving them. I liked both Blackout and this book, but I still think they are both too long. #audiowalk

The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. | Neal Stephenson, Nicole Gallan

Pickpick

The world is without magic, but that's not the way it's always been, and the folks at D.O.D.O. would like to see magic restored. Full of twists and turns, like ancient Vikings obsessed with Walmart, a Kit Marlow who's not quite so dead, some backstabbing & betrayal, a "will you just get together already" romance, & witches of all kinds, this is a rollicking romp of a read blending quantam theory with magic to bring the reader on a heck of a ride.

Shadows in Time: A Novel | Julie McElwain

As this series goes on, the less I feel that the return of Kendra to her own time is a point the author wishes to tackle. It takes up less of her time and mental effort and other her wondering if she should just accept her new life, we don't really get much of the "can she even get back" and "how did she get here to begin with". A more enjoyable read than the last one, I'm still disappointed that the main premise is being pretty much ignored.
