A group of 40 women is kept in a cage together underground, how they got there is unknown. After years, one day there‘s a sound, the door to cage is left open and they can leave.

I‘m not sure what this book was trying to say, but it does look at loneliness and belonging, and surviving.

BarbaraBB I am still thinking about it 6h
AnneCecilie @BarbaraBB I have a feeling I will too. There‘s something scary about the landscape they escape to 6h
TrishB Definitely one of those books you don‘t stop thinking about. 4h

mcctrish @Prairiegirl_reading I found cold brew ice cream made by Chapmans last week 🤎🤎 thankfully the weather cooperated sooner than later 1d
Prairiegirl_reading @mcctrish Chapman‘s has become my go to ice cream since the boycott. The weather here is finally nice too! Hooray for spring! 1d
mcctrish @Prairiegirl_reading we always bought Chapmans because they have peanut free plants and one of my oldest‘s best friends is allergic. During the pandemic they paid their staff despite closures and then paid bonus pay when lines reopened. How they operate should be the rule not the exception ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 1d
Prairiegirl_reading That‘s great information! I had no idea! I wasn‘t planning to go back to American brands but I will definitely keep buying Chapmans now. 1d
BooksandCoffee4Me @mcctrish oh, I need to find this! I never would have thought of the float! 1d
mcctrish @BooksandCoffee4Me I agree that you do ❤️❤️ 1d

Station Eleven | Emily St John Mandel

I'm 30% through. How can things be happening but nothing is really going on 😅 what is the point of all this vapid dialogue? How did this win awards?

Doppoetry “[name's] tan was orange. [name] looks like he hasn't slept.“ Rivetting! Groundbreaking perception skills! Do we call Madonna? Do we call the god damned persident? 2d
Doppoetry The discussion about the arts, and the perseverance of the arts and humanity, is very important, don't get me wrong. I just think there's too much dialogue here that focuses on superficial things that bring nothing to the overall plot, especially since it is on the shorter end. 2d
5feet.of.fury It‘s such a weird book. It‘s def more atmosphere focused than anything else. I‘m watching the adaptation right now, which is pretty good but my husband asked me about it and I couldn‘t explain it at all. 2d

Attack on Titan Volume 1 | Hajime Isayama

Unlike a lot of people, I like manga, but I don't watch the anime series associated with them. I've heard so many great things about this series that I had to finally start it.

Attack on Titan has a very interesting backstory with civilization recovering behind walled cities after being destroyed by giant Titans. This first volume starts with a new attack. I liked the changing perspectives between citizens and soldiers. I'm excited for vol. 2.

As much as I loved Red Rising, The Paris Apartment is still in my mind as an amazing book that really surprised me. This was really hard though because The Women I also loved in March so I made it the Wild Card liking it slightly more than Red Rising.
