“But Hester, I‘m years older than you are. You can‘t really—“
“That is—if you want me,” said Hester with sudden doubt.
“Oh, I want you!” said Arthur Calgary.

pickThis is a stand alone book in Leckie‘s Imperial Radch universe and it's possible to appreciate without reading her other books, though having the background helps.
I loved the characters, their development and the way that the questions of belonging to humans in general and to one's family are asked. I was very disappointed by the way the romantic line was resolved - it was both too adolescent and too forced. #told_by_a_woman, #bookclub
pick#reread for #bookclub The book was a legend way before I read it for the first time, but now I believe I didn‘t appreciate the complexity and the clues between the lines, hidden from the Soviet censorship. The story is deep, dark, frightening and full of hate, but there are also sparkles of decency and love. The ending is somewhat hopeful, or at least open for interpretation
so-so3⭐️ Thought it was ok; felt like a slog for most of the book, as I felt that the three storylines could have been better integrated than they were. #2024 #bookclub #climatefiction #fiction #dystopian
pickI had so much fun reading this one!! My first introduction to Osman‘s writing, I already can‘t wait to dive into his earlier books! While my #bookclub didn‘t love this one as much as I did, I‘m so excited to give a copy to my own much loved, soon-to-be-retired FIL in the hopes that we may go solve murders together! Funny & gripping— though I solved the biggest twist pretty early— I loved scene-stealing Rosie & want the sequel right now!! So fun!!!
This was a fun interview with author Carew Papritz on Book Interrupted‘s Authors Spotlight.

so-so3⭐️ While the concept is interesting, I didn‘t really get into the book. It was too creepy for my liking. #2024 #contemporary #dystopian #fiction #bookclub #thriller
