This was a lot of fun! It‘s been on my list for a few years, and this was the perfect readathon read. Chunky, fast-paced, unusual formatting - yes please! Going in I just knew that it was set in space in the future after an attack on a planet and that it featured teens. That was perfect and all you really need to know going in, IMO. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, but it was fun, and I‘m looking forward to book 2. Book 5 #DeweysOct2020 #readathon

Readerann 5 books! You rocked this RAT! Wasn‘t it nice to just ‘get away‘ for a bit? Crazy times. 😩Hope you and yours are all well. 4y
LauraBrook @Readerann Thanks, reading buddy! Yes, it was very nice to get away - no political ads! - and escape the daily grind for a bit. Everyone here is moseying along, I hope everyone in your world is doing well! 4y
CabinDreaming Thanks for posting this. It happened to be available through my library on audio so I snagged it as I was struggling to find my next read. Halfway through I also borrowed the ebook just to see the formatting and by the end was following along while I listened as I enjoyed the full cast on audio but the formatting was so cool too. Normally not a sci-fi person but plan to check out #2! 4y
LauraBrook @CabinDreaming Oh, I‘m so happy so enjoyed this! I might have to follow your lead and do both the audio and physical version at the same time. I‘m not a huge sci-fi person either, but this was interesting and fun! Hope you enjoy book 2 too! 4y

I‘m skipping around like crazy for this #readathon. I may not even finish a book, but it‘s kind of fun. Shirley Jackson is great for October! #Deweys24hourreadathon #DeweysOct2020

An unusual graphic memoir about creativity, what it means to be a person, how stories shape our lives and futures... there is a lot in this book. It feels a little Debbie Downer in a way, but a good way. It‘s made me think about my childhood and how my imagination and family stories have shaped me. Interesting and unique! Book 4 for #DeweysOct2020 #readathon

Even better than the first, which I really enjoyed. This picks up where book 1 ends. Anna is still investigating the murder of her sister Kat, and Kat tries to help her do the same, but also is still protecting Anna from the awful truth about their childhood and how they ended up in the circus. When more “normies” start to turn into “freaks” rapidly, Anna knows something more is going on. A devil has been seen, but is that what‘s really happening?

LauraBrook This was great, and I can‘t wait for volume 3 to see what happens next. Book three finished for #DeweysOct2020 #readathon 4y
Bookgoil I read volume 3 recently love this series! ❤️ 4y
LauraBrook @Bookgoil Awesome! You‘re the first person I know who has even heard of this series, let alone read it. Can‘t wait to get my hands on a copy! 4y
Bookgoil @LauraBrook random find at my library honestly my library gets some awesome graphic novels! 4y

A cute start to the series, and while I realize that I‘m not the target demographic here, it seemed a little oddly childish at times. Enola Holmes, Sherlock and Mycroft‘s teen sister, decides to investigate the mysterious disappearance of their mother. While she‘s searching for clues re: Momma, she comes across a missing young Marquess and helps him out while trying to keep out of big bro‘s ways. 3 stars, will read the rest of the series.

LauraBrook My second book for #DeweysOct2020 #readathon 4y

I liked this one, but i can‘t see it being one of my favorites in the series. Getting to know both Beau and Shelly was nice, but all of the revelations about the Winston family were what really propelled me into the book. I‘ll be starting the 5th one shortly.

Readerann That looks like a fun, light read. My stack is pretty dark - don‘t know what I was thinking! 😩 4y

Oh my. Too many parallels to the present day for comfort. #deweys24hourreadathon #readathon #deweysoct2020

LauraBrook Hey buddy! Congrats on finishing your first book! How are you today? 4y
Readerann @LauraBrook I‘m having a blah day, so it won‘t be a stellar RAT, I‘m afraid. I haven‘t finished a book - will probably just be reading bits of several. I‘ll head over and see what you‘re up to. 4y

This book was such a fun read! I thoroughly enjoyed the mashup of fantasy and alternate history with plenty of humor.

CabinDreaming Thank you for a new YA rec. I woke up this morning and finished the last bit of This is My America by Kim Johnson (excellent). Now off to pick a new audiobook to listen and clean and do weekendy house things before starting The Vanishing Half this evening. 4y
Daisey @CabinDreaming I‘m now listening to audio while working around the house as well. I listened to The Vanishing Half not long ago; enjoy! 4y
