Wrong Place, Wrong Time | Gillian McAllister

Suggested on audio & the narrator was, indeed, excellent. Interesting twist on time travel, but mystery lovers will figure out many twists.

The Jane Austen Project: A Novel | Kathleen A. Flynn

pick

I absolutely loved this. Imagine being able to time travel to meet Jane Austen and then save some of her works. I loved the 2 characters on the mission. It was so well done in regards to the time travel aspect. It was both an argument for and against it. And an interesting look at what happens when a timeline is changed for the good and/or bad. I wish I could read more by this author, but this is her only book so far.

staci.reads I loved this one too! 1d

Robotswithpersonality

Project Nought | Chelsey Furedi

pick

That was intense!
I expected a certain level of teen drama, but didn't realize there were lethal stakes and existential crises looming, which, don't get me wrong, just meant I ended up reading it faster because I had to know how things would end. 😅 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? I'm pretty sure the reason I had a hunch about the reveal is thanks to the way the author chose to tell the story, more like leading me to a conclusion than having a predictable plot element - and there was so much going on besides that one thing that it doesn't take away from the story as a whole. There's also a probability that as opposed to this aged reader, that story element may not have already appeared in decades of media to the target 3d

Robotswithpersonality 3/? YA audience so they aren't looking for it at the first hint. 💁🏼‍♂️
Love the diversity in character design, people of colour, disabled people, those of different gender and sexual identities, each with their own concerns and interests, shown as having an inner life and also involved in the developing friendships and relationships.
The sci fi - tech, world-building - was the perfect level of propelling the plot and providing good background 3d

Robotswithpersonality 4/? to:
-a bunch of young adults figuring out how to adjust to changing circumstances
-heavy hints about the risks in unregulated scientific advancement, hunger for power, and corporate monopoly/sponsorship
-navigating new relationships, boundaries, the decision to trust
-being brave when it matters, but not having to go it alone
3d

Robotswithpersonality 5/5 Also, as should happen in all the best sci-fi, in my opinion, there was a tiny robot!

Slaughterhouse-five, Or, The Children's Crusade: A Duty-dance with Death | Kurt Vonnegut

At least once a season, I read or re-read a classic.

BiblioLitten I started doing that this year. Read Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I read it back in 2006-07. It hits differently and I like it way more! 4d

Sarahreadstoomuch It‘s been years since I‘ve read this, and instantly the visions of the firebombing scene came right back. (edited) 4d

I love this title and just can‘t quit this series. My interest here was in the characters with problematic situations looking inward to consider who they were and what they could have / should have done to make a situation better. My favorite story here was that of the estranged father and daughter.

The 71?2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle | Stuart Turton

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

This is the one I've recommended most in the past years. I absolutely loved the "Gosford Park" meets "Groundhog Day" vibes of the book.

BookmarkTavern I‘ve had this on my TBR for a while! I should get to it. Thanks for posting! 6d
