The Glass Hotel | Emily St. John Mandel

Starting this since I finished Station Eleven & learned that there are connections with that book, this book, and Sea of Tranquility. I must say I‘m not enjoying the audiobook narrator - she doesn‘t do mens‘ voices well. Oh well…

Diving into this one on a very grey Sunday morning. I see that quite a few Littens have read this for #AuthorAMonth #AAM. I‘m holding off on reading their reviews until I finish reading as well. Hope you‘re all enjoying your weekend!📚

Station Eleven: A novel | Emily St. John Mandel

This week I finally started this book. I had more anxiety while reading the ‘buy everything you can at the grocery store‘ scene than I did during our actual COVID pandemic. I‘m excited to see how this book plays out. Thanks @Soubhiville for hosting #AuthorAMonth and finally getting me to read this book I‘ve had on my shelf since 2017!! I do wonder what it would‘ve been like reading this BEFORE our pandemic.

quietlycuriouskate The airport scene properly freaked me out. 😱 3d
Velvetfur That book actually sounds scary, as it's a bit too close to real life for comfort.... Oh and that mug in the pic is so cute too 😊 3d
tpixie @Velvetfur thanks!! I should have held it in my other hand to show the logo! It‘s from a (sadly) now closed indie bookstore, Bluebird books. I‘m only 1/4 thru. Interestingly the post- apocalyptic part doesn‘t bother me- probably since THAT is different from our reality. But it goes back & forth in time, like indicated by @quietlycuriouskate , so you may want more comfortable reads! 3d

Soubhiville There are several parts that can be triggering. The scene with the MC and the brothers in the high rise was hardest for me. In the series as well, I found it tough to watch. 3d
Mimi28 Uh oh, I am only on page 7. Thanks for the info about it everyone 😊 I will still try to finish it though 3d

tpixie @Soubhiville I bet! I‘m waiting to go back to them. I‘m with the Symphony after leaving St Deborah by the Water 3d

I will always Stan Mandel‘s Station Eleven “trilogy”. I love the alternate timelines in each book and how each picks up on different characters from the previous book and spins them in a new way. But my favorite part has to be the autofictional author on book tour in 2201 when a pandemic breaks out. She is an autobuy author for me, and I can‘t wait to see what she writes next!! #AuthorAMonth

TNbookworm Totally agree, love her books! 3d
tpixie Oh my! Station Eleven is a trilogy? lol more to read! 3d

Finished last month for #AuthorAMonth
This was so enthralling, I couldn't stop listening. I loved the interconnected stories of Ruth & Nao and the subtle magical realism throughout. The characters were so well crafted and the story slow & gentle yet compelling. 5⭐

This book has such a 2020-2021 vibe that I didn‘t pick up on the first time I read it. It all comes together beautifully at the end. I don‘t know how Emily St John Mandel did it.

You don‘t have to read Station Eleven, The Glass Hotel, and this all in a row, but thanks to #AuthorAMonth I did and it was a great experience. @Soubhiville

I really liked this although I can barely tell you why. It's just well written. And once it gets going it flows quite well.

My book club at work picked this off a short list of suggestions. It's almost like I planned this. And then the senior director of our business unit signed up. Yikes. I gave my library copy to my intern because there's extra time. Hopefully she won't lose it. 😂
