Last Night in Montreal | Emily St. John Mandel

so-so

This book was about a woman who leaves her boyfriend out of the blue one morning and his quest to find her and her's to finally stop traveling.
It was okay, a really interesting premise, but I didn't really like or connect with any of the characters.

Sea of Tranquility: A Novel | Emily St. John Mandel

Excellent. A thought provoking addedum (or a sci-fi epilogue) to Station Eleven that was perhaps a bit autobiographical? (Maybe that‘s just my assumption.) Even more relevant to our beyond-pandemic lives today without being navel-gazey.

I think I need to read everything by this author.🥺 #AuthorAMonth

ChaoticMissAdventures If you read her other 2 big titles, they are all interconnected which is so interesting! You can read in any order, they just often have a few characters that pop around that you become familiar with 😍 10h

Melismatic @ChaoticMissAdventures i love that!!! 10h

This was phenomenal. While I toggled back and forth between 4.5 and 5 stars (the ending felt too neat for me), I ultimately decided it was my first 5-star read of the year.

I‘m curious if folks who have read it pre-pandemic vibe with it differently, but man - post 2020? This and Parable of the Sower hit where it hurts. #AuthorAMonth

RaeLovesToRead I three starred this when I first read it, but since reading The Glass Hotel I feel like I finally clicked with the authors writing and I'd love to read it again. The atmosphere was haunting, but I don't remember much plot. 2d

Melismatic @RaeLovesToRead I‘d def recommend a re-read! 💖 I found it well nuanced and very human in a way that few authors seem to do well. 2d

Prairiegirl_reading I read it in 2016 and gave it five stars. Couldn‘t put it down. I‘m sure it would hit differently now. 2d

I enjoyed this although not as much as Station Eleven. I like when books tell me what they‘re about and this one took a while to get there. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville #BacklistReadathon @TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick

KadaGul I have a copy of the book 📖 'Station Eleven', which was made into a movie 🎦 recently. However, the portrayal of the pandemic felt too surreal for me, so I decided to keep the book 📖 aside for now. Nonetheless, I have heard 👂 good things about this book 📖 and its author✍️ 4d

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4d

RayHallucinogen You have the exact coffee table patterns like I do. Unreal. Oh, by the way, never read the book. 4d

Bookwormjillk @RayHallucinogen haha IKEA? 4d

RayHallucinogen It is Swedish, but I don't think it's Ikea. Way too big for my living room, it gotta go. 4d

I really liked this book. It was an unnerving read with the pandemic still fresh in my mind. I liked the back and forth between before and after to weave all the different narratives together. The ending felt rather abrupt after all the buildup, but that didn‘t take away from the story as a whole.

This book, I love it so much. This is my third time reading. It all comes together beautifully, and it only gets better with each re-read. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

May 2024 #AuthorAMonth #AAM #ReadAway2024 This short novel packs a lot of wallop! It is spectacular. I love science fiction because it makes me think. All good fiction should make its readers think, but science fiction is my favorite genre. I had somewhat figured out the twist at the end but not nearly all of it. Highly recommended!
