3⭐️ I really tried to understand what this book was about and while it was an interesting read, I really didn‘t understand it. I am really interested to hear what others in this #Canadianlit #bookclub I am a part of will think of the book. #2025 #fiction #sciencefiction #speculative #historicalfiction #fiction #canadian #mexico

This was a fast-paced and intriguing story of Beth, a scientist trying to keep her secret time travel project afloat after the death of her husband Colson, her partner and fellow scientist. Facing increasing pressure from the company owner, Beth makes multiple attempts in a row, traveling to moments in her own past with devastating results. Definitely recommend for fans of Blake Crouch.

I‘m a sucker for a time travel story, especially a thriller type. Beth is a single working mom. Her husband Colson has died in an accident and she has taken on his role as Guinea pig 🐹 in a series of time travel experiments that take her consciousness back to the most traumatic moments in her life. Of course there‘s trouble brewing with the super rich older man who is financing the experiments. Does Beth really understand the consequences? 👍🐉

Dragon @Centique this one had some interesting ideas about time travel ❤️🐉 6mo
Centique Oooh definitely stacking this! 😍 6mo

I really enjoyed this book. It‘s a fun story about the hubris of science and risks of its marriage with capitalism.

So my normal bookclub which took place yesterday had to read a Kate Atkinson. I just feel she‘s way above me. We read another book by her and I didn‘t know how to feel. A guy next to me might as well have given his doctoral thesis on it and I just sat there thinking-am I stupid? So instead of reading another Atkinson I went with this book for a mashed up horror scifi group. I didn‘t care for it or the bookclub. The grass isn‘t always greener 👇🏼

Reggie on the other side, Litsy. The book was meh. 8mo
Ruthiella What Atkinson? 8mo
Reggie @Ruthiella the one I read was Transcription. The one they discussed yesterday was A God in Ruins. 8mo

AmyG Ah, maybe you are the smart one. 8mo
MommyWantsToReadHerBook "his doctoral thesis" ???? A God in Ruins has quite a lot going on, if I remember. But talking a lot doesn't equal intelligence or understanding ? 8mo
Reggie @AmyG @MommyWantsToReadHerBook @julesG There‘s this woman in the group. She‘s a 70 something brassy broad in a wheelchair and I love her. Her name‘s Dolores. When that guy was done she tells him, that‘s all and well honey but the author still has to tell a story. She hadn‘t liked it either. She made me feel better. 8mo
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @Reggie that's awesome 😂😂😂😂😂 8mo
Centique Theres no way Atkinson is above you Reggie! I find her hit and miss for my tastes. I loved Life After Life but bailed on A God in Ruins. And other people hated Life After Life 😜 I think people have very different reactions to her books 👍 8mo
Centique Dolores sounds awesome! 8mo
vivastory The only Atkinson that I have read is the first in her Brodie series: Case Histories. I liked it, wouldn't say I LOVED it. Have you read other Fracassi because I'd be shocked if you disliked Boys In the Valley 8mo
Reggie @Centique Dolores is awesome. She tells it like it is. Her and I don‘t always agree but I like her so much. 8mo
Reggie @vivastory I liked Boys in the Valley. I liked Gothic. I loved A Child Alone with Strangers. And I liked 2 books of his short stories I have read. This book, not good. But the girl leading the book group- her favorite author of all time. (Insert my eyeroll here.) 8mo
Suet624 I know the feeling of thinking others understand something that I just didn‘t get. It happens a bit less now because of the age I am, but I can assure you that you are one smart cookie. And I‘ve never found an Atkinson that I enjoyed. (edited) 7mo
Reggie @Suet624 lol, thank you, Sue. I stared at him, my eyes glazing over. I felt nuts, thinking, did I even think about this book?!!! 7mo
Suet624 @Reggie 😂😂😂 7mo

Another book I was inspired to read after seeing the author at TX Book Fest.

5 women are cloned after being murdered by a serial killer. This is from the point of view of Louis, who was killed while running in her city‘s park.

An interesting aspect was that Louis had a daughter who was just 3 months old when she was killed, and her clone‘s relationship with her daughter.

The ending was unexpected for me, in a good way.

AmyG I think I have this. Sounds fascinating. 8mo
bookishbitch Sounds super interesting. Also, your kitty is so beautiful. 8mo
Leftcoastzen 😻👏 8mo
CatLass007 Your kitty is definitely beautiful. The Cat Rapper sings about his Sphynx cats. I have added this book to my ever growing Audible wishlist. (edited) 8mo
