bailed#LitsySciFiBookClub #Read2025 This was not a case of me disliking the book. In fact, I think it was interesting and extremely well written. This is a case of having lost someone dear to me very recently, and deciding that it was not healthy for me to listen to this book. Actually, it was nearly 5 years ago, but I found myself ruminating on what it would be like if I could have a do over and I have stopped playing that head game with myself.
pickThis story, set on an island where things disappear & almost everyone loses the memory of them, made me ponder a lot. Very mysterious about where & what happens to the people who remember & are taken by the memory police. Author was able to instill sadness, suspense, the terror & threat of the police, as well as joyful moments between the main characters. Dystopian relevant to our current dystopian country. This was my #doublespin for March.
repost for @TheSpineView:
It was a tie between Recursion and Mickey7. I've read both, so I didn't care either way. l tossed a coin (literally) and the winner is Recursion. If you guys want, we can read Mickey7 in July. Just let me know your thoughts.

For such a skinny little book, it has an awfully long title

pickBefore I Go To Sleep is a well-executed version of what could have been a schlocky psychological thriller, with unexpected depths and surprisingly few foibles. Nuts to everyone who tried to steer me away from it; I thought it was (mostly) great! Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/before-i-go-to-sleep-s-j-watson/
