pickAnother hard/dark story. Hard to read because story has various triggers which were so descriptive.. I‘m not a fan of magical realism but author used it amazingly. Two characters connected in two time lines? Maybe...story use the concept of quantum multiverse. The ending was expected to me as I have seen in novels read using this concept. Beautiful and thoughtful lines even in those dark parts. Brilliant. Amazing narration by author. 4/4.5⭐️
pickInstallment #5 in the Horowitz & Hawthorne series is another fun one! I listen to these because I adore narrator Rory Kinnear‘s performance. This one had a bit of a send up to some classic murder novels, which was fun. At the end, the author read the acknowledgments and said he had SEVEN MORE BOOKS planned for this series! Hopefully Mr Kinnear will be able to continue performing the audiobooks, too.

pickBook #5 in the Glass and Steele series. This one felt a bit short, but it also tied up some loose ends. And then, of course, opened a few more…looking forward to the next one!
pickBook #5 of the year: “The Earth Moved” by Amy Stewart
Absolutely amazing book about earthworms, mostly in the US but with a few looks around the world. If you‘re interested in worms, composting, or agriculture, definitely a book for you. I loved every page.
Many topics discussed in this novel (culture, social actions, identity, etc) even the role of the reader in that wonderful quote by Marcel Proust. 4/4.5⭐️
