Gliff: A Novel | Ali Smith

pick

I‘m not a huge fan of Smith (I‘ve tried the seasonal quartet and just didn‘t get it) but this is on the #ToBlonglist and was on audio at the library and it‘s short! 😜

It‘s set in a very near dystopian future as two siblings try to find their way. I ended up quite liking it - not sure what was going on at some points but I appreciated the wordplay and plays on words.

I liked it enough to try the companion book when it comes out next year.

ChaoticMissAdventures Good to know! I also don't get on with Smith, though I really want to. Maybe I will try the audio now. 2d

squirrelbrain The narrator was weirdly flat / monotone but I soon got used to that @ChaoticMissAdventures - and speeding it up helped! 🤨 2d

ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain oh that is annoying, I have been listening to this one and she is also very monotone

TrishB Same with Smith! Always makes me feel like I‘m a bit dim. 2d

Deblovestoread I‘m glad I‘m not alone. I might give it a shot if it makes the short list. 1d

sarahbarnes I do love her, and I haven‘t read this one yet so I‘m excited to see it on the list! 1d

squirrelbrain @ChaoticMissAdventures - I wasn‘t sure if the format of The Mobius Book would work on audio so, luckily, I have a used hard copy. 1d

squirrelbrain Exactly! @TrishB 🤦‍♀️ 1d

squirrelbrain It‘s only short as well @Deblovestoread so worth giving it a go. 1d

squirrelbrain I hope you enjoy it @sarahbarnes - I‘m sure you will! 1d

BarbaraBB I wasn‘t a real fan of this one 21h

In the Afterlight: A Darkest Minds Novel | Alexandra Bracken

pick

This is such a great series!
I love Ruby's voice; her inner conflict and the drama that she endures is so intense and authentic
I would have chosen a different ending to the love interests, but I can be cruel like that.

I just found out there's a fourth book that came out 4 years after all this, so I definitely need to get my hands on it!

The Leftovers | Tom Perrotta

pick

The rapture was (and still is a little) a terrifying concept to me especially when I was younger so starting this was quite unsettling. But once I got over that, I was really interested in the human response in this scenario. I loved following the different people and can see how this would transition really well to the screen. It makes me want to watch the show given the way the ending was. Read for #literarycrew

Librarybelle I agree—it is an unsettling concept. Glad you liked this! 2d
