#WhereAreYouMonday

This Monday I find myself in an alternative historical, steampunk version of early 20th century Cairo, where magic and djinns are commonplace. A murder mystery with supernatural elements, this fantasy world that Clark has created is fantastic.

ChaoticMissAdventures This is on my shortlist TBR for April! 36m

Written 20 years ago, PR creates an alternative past for the US that hits way different in 2025 than it must have in 2005. As powerful as The Handmaids Tale and just as freaking scary

I really enjoyed this fantasy novel about a dragon slayer and his bard. It's different in that it is set in modern-day Southwestern Ontario and is an alternate history novel with political and historical events explained in the context of fossil-fuel consuming dragons.

My “because-I-was-stressed-from-work-today” book haul.

I went into the bookstore thinking I‘d buy one book to relieve stress.

Ended up with five. 😅

Aims42 That‘s the perfect amount! Also, I LOVED “Jonathan Strange”, that‘s a book I wish I could re-read for the first time ☺️ And there‘s a series on Netflix (I think?) that‘s really well done 👍 4d
Meshell1313 Ooh I love Mary Pearson! Such good choices! 4d
dabbe You take care of you! I'm currently reading JONATHAN STRANGE and loving it, just like @Aims42 said! 🤩 4d

This was such a great book. I love the characters so much. The ending completely took me by surprise. I can‘t wait to see what happens with the rest of the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

AmyG Oh…you got this one. I just saw it on IG. Have fun! 7d
mcctrish @AmyG I was supposed to build it in February, better late than never 🤣 7d
ImperfectCJ I read this novel a million years ago (okay, more like 20), and I remember liking it (or at least I remember it having an impact on me). I wonder how it would feel to read it in 2025. 7d
mcctrish @ImperfectCJ my husband met up with a friend from out of town and they were talking about books they‘d each read recently, this was one of the friend‘s. I got it on audio and my hubby got it in print. I was surprised how old it was ? and truthfully it‘s feeling a little Handmaids Tale to me in that 20 yrs ago I‘d have been wow and now I‘m like “f¥€£” 7d
Leftcoastzen I need to revisit this one . Roth was a difficult person , amazing writer. I bet it feels too close to reality now. 7d

Pub Day in the UK is March 27th

Really enjoyed book 4 in the Lady Astronaut series. A base on Mars has been established and the first "Martians" have moved in. Among the usual problems of working in an uninhabitable environment the members of the first Mars mission, to establish the base, are keeping a secret.

Another strong entry in this series. Gender, race, but also culture and religion, as well as body autonomy play just as much a role ⬇️⬇️

julesG as who has jurisdiction on Mars and should it be named a colony.

I seriously hope this wasn't the last book in the series.
