pickI started and finished this book today. It's a story about loss and how it can make or break a family. Unfortunately in this case the loss of London's brother leaves the family quite broken. It was a very good story but I found the writing slightly cringey at times. 📖
3.8/5 😊

How did you choose this book:
Write a brief summary of the novel; who was the protagonist; what was his/her problem and how was the problem resolved?
so-soReynolds is a good writer. He captures the grief and poignant feeling of being lost in a wilderness of pain after the death of a loved one. However, the ending just seems to fizzle out with no resolution or climax.

pickThis is one of my favorite fantasy series. The characters are very well developed, and the plot has some surprises and many fun breadcrumbs. #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtfantasy #lgbtliterature #trauma #grief
pickThis is a fun read, especially if you're into music or guitars. You don't have to be, though. This manga also has a beautiful anime adaptation, but includes scenes that enhance the story that the anime does not include (yet). This may be a good pick for someone dealing with loss, but someone who may be upset by topics of suicide may want to hold off. #LGBTQ #LGBT #LGBTManga #music #suicide #grief #identityexploration
pickI never would have picked this up on my own because I don't usually like scifi. I'm super glad it fell into my lab, because it is one of my favorite comics. If you like robots, space, thrilling stories, or beautiful watercolor artwork, I'd give this one a read. #scifi #robotics #trauma #grief #family
pickI picked this series up after falling in love with its precursor, Descender. I highly recommend both, and suspect that you might like this one better if you've read Descender first. #scifi #generationaltrauma #robotics #magic #watercolor #grief #persecution
pickReally loved it. A beautifully weaved story of loosely connected people dealing with the weight of what it looks and feels like to have a family. It's not always how you think it should be and it's not always fair. But sometimes things work out in such a way because someone else needs you, needs what you've been through, or you need someone else and didn't realize it.
