How are we about to enter March??!!
I‘m LOVING Don‘t Cry For Me. Looks like it might be my first book to make it unto next year‘s #NYWD list 😅
Vox & Violent Ends are both buddy reads and Family Chao is a #CoverCrush and I‘m going with #PoP22 #constellationoncover 😉My thoughts are with those in Ukraine and for everyone who has friends & family in that region.

TrishB Looks like a good week, second time Don‘t Cry for Me has come to my attention! Let‘s hope for good news very soon for Ukraine. 2y

When We Cease to Understand the World | Benjam�n Labatut

pick

Labatut himself summaries his book as follows: “This book is about what happens when we reach the edges of science; when we come face to face with what we cannot understand. It is about what occurs to the human mind when it pushes past the outer limits of thought, and what lies beyond those limits.”

The result is an intens, uncomfortable and intriguing book.

BarbaraBB @RaeLovesToRead It is classified as fiction but it‘s about real scientist driven into, well, madness because of science. When I googled them most of what is described in the book did really happen. 2y

Addison_Reads @BarbaraBB great review! I know many people haven't liked this one but I was a fan. 2y

RaeLovesToRead Oh wow! Sounds interesting! 2y

Megabooks I had read a lot of these stories in nonfiction books, and my mind spent so much time trying to match up what I did know as true with fiction, I became frustrated. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

BkClubCare @Megabooks - equally frustrating is when readers disparage historical fiction as not enough facts! By which I mean, that this book reads like nonfiction but has so much imagination told in nonfictional “factual-feeling” way. While historical fiction tends to feel like a novel. (Am I making any sense?! 🥴🤣) 2y

BkClubCare Just to say, this book had me confused and unsettled. Which was likely the goal, but I couldn‘t get comfortable. (edited) 2y

Suet624 I‘m glad you enjoyed this. I‘m going to have to give it another go sometime. 2y

Cinfhen Such a great quote!!! And I‘m so glad you loved it too!! I thought print would have been maddening but im really happy you proved me wrong. I don‘t think this is the winner but I‘d like to see it advance. 2y

thebluestocking I‘m so glad you liked this one! I agree with @BkClubCare that it is uncomfortable. And like @Megabooks I did spend a lot of time at first trying to decide what was real and not real. But eventually I just let it wash over me without any internet searching and found I really enjoyed the experience. 2y

Simona This book has the most powerful first chapter that I've ever read … I was curious about scientists/facts too, and I googled a lot, just to found out that everything is true 🤯 I have in my TBR pile… if maybe you are interested in reading about “mad” scientist and science

Helgoland

BarbaraBB @Addison_Reads @Ruthiella I was blown away by that first chapter, just like @Simona mentions. So powerful. A well deserved #ToB book I think. 2y

BarbaraBB @BkClubCare @Megabooks @thebluestocking @Simona I don‘t know enough about the subject to wonder what was fiction or what not. I just let it wash over me and was very surprised so much of it really happened. Wow 😯 2y

BarbaraBB @Simona I did enjoy the part about Helgoland a lot, I looked it up too. That book sounds good indeed. Thanks for bringing it up! 2y

kwmg40 I've started this one and am finding it very intriguing so far. It's hard to think of it as fiction, as so much of it is based on real events. 2y

BarbaraBB @kwmg40 Some people have been struggling with that thin line between fact and fiction. I hope it won‘t bother you! 2y

Mindyrecycles It just wasn‘t for me at all. 😐 2y
