bailedWell, this was the shortest read of the year 😂.
This had such promise! Alternative Realities, a strange mystery, a strange young woman with interesting abilities...
The book even begins with a sneak peek scene of a seance!
Then the first two chapters begin with the “details“ of how the main character's sister is tricked into being kidnapped and gruesomely tortured to death.

Thank you @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card and for tagging me 😎👍💝.
1- Aside from a few exceptions, the last few times out and about were nice. I mean the people were nice again. Like my neighborhood's mood has been uplifted...like people are less stressed and more hopeful 💫.
2- It's Friday the Thirteenth! Always a fun day 👻🥳!
3- Scary movie night, it's a tradition for Friday the 13th. Not sure what we're watching yet 🎬🤔. 👇
It was delete day at the library where I work. I ran into a staff member from another department of the college when I was taking the weeded items to the free table, and she was definitely looking forward to taking a look through them! I waited until others had their chance and then grabbed a couple for myself when I was on my way home #BookHaul

The Importance of Book-Centered Spaces as Third Places by Susie Dumond; https://bookriot.com/book-centered-spaces-as-third-places/
Sometimes you find a book at the used bookstore and want to start it right away! This book has a copyright of 1990, and I think it‘s Orlean‘s debut. It should be very nostalgic to read about what people were doing on Saturday nights in the late 80s. I‘m sure the book would be really different now. There‘s a polka dance chapter but no TikTok dances! 🙃
“To keep up, it‘s good sometimes to slow down”
“Naps are powerful tools for recovering our energy and focus.”
so-soGreat concept but a little too much London slang for me and some scenes were a bit too long winded. I feel like it could have had fewer tangents and had the story move along a little better. Josh's sister's body was found 10 months after she went missing and it turns out she was living in an alternate reality London? Josh and his girlfriend have an adventure traveling through various Londons for information.

I just can't!
This one will be promptly donated.
The good thing, there's now a space for a new book 😉.
