pick#AuthorAMonth so glad I joined in with this challenge I have found a new favourite author will continue with the backlist as and when I can get them from the library.
Loved the way Station Eleven is cleverly referenced in this book so much fun.
This book itself reminded me of Cloud Atlas circular and ending again where it begun.
Started my #AuthorAMonth pick. My library copy is pretty beat up — it was apparently part of a school assignment. I‘m just a few chapters in and I‘m getting why this book would be pretty relatable for kids in school right now. 🥺🫣
pickWhile this is still my least favorite of the Station Eleven “trilogy,” I enjoyed much more the second time around. #AuthorAMonth
Vincent works at a remote island hotel in her British Columbian hometown. When the hotel‘s owner visits, she sees an opportunity to leave and be his trophy wife. But he is a Madoff-based Ponzi schemer and his misdeeds have ripple affects throughout the lives of these characters.
so-soA young woman is abducted by her father and they almost never stop traveling as she‘s followed by a private investigator hired by her mother. Her boyfriend goes to Montreal to find her. Strange details (why did her mom cover a window and pick up broken glass before the police arrived?) appear throughout that come together in the end. My problem is there‘s an awful lot of philosophizing that doesn‘t change anything about the story. This could / ⬇️
pick#AuthorAMonth my first ESJM book and it was so good I will be starting Sea of Tranquility tomorrow.
I like the way the novel focuses on survivors with a common past and how it looks at rebuilding civilisation rather than just showing anarchy and lawlessness.
Loved the idea of a touring Shakespearean troupe after the end of the world as we know it.
Also loved all the crossovers from past to present.
Great story with hopeful ending.
pickFinished this on the train from Prague to Berlin today. Very good and so glad I finally read it! #authoramonth @Soubhiville
I did not enjoy listening to the audio as much as I did reading the book. I thought it was more difficult to keep track of the characters and connect the storylines. Still, a pick for me. Love this author.

pickIs there ever a bad time to reread your favorite book? My answer is definitely not! #AuthorAMonth was a great excuse to pull this out again. 💜
A strong flu outbreak from Georgia 🇬🇪 wipes out over 99% of the population in a matter of months. Mandel expertly moves between the outbreak and a time 20 years later when a traveling symphony/Shakespeare company encounters a dangerous doomsday prophet. Just read it!!
Only 1/3 rolled #Roll100 books read in April. Otherwise, a great challenges & buddy reads month.
Once the #readyourebooks numbers are selected I‘ll post my May chart.
