pickThis is a difficult book to review. An upstanding priest, Father Sandoz, is a linguist with suburb goes on a mission to a far away planet. Eight people go on this mission. The novel has many levels which will have the reader swelling with love and deep sadness, with joy in places and crying in other locations. If you haven‘t read it, I recommend this book it. 4.75⭐️

I don't know if this is really a #NightSky, but that's what it's always reminded me of.

Another tie for August. #12booksof2023
This year I read books set all over the place. A significant part of this book took place on another planet, making it the farthest setting from my home. The closest was probably Yellowface, with much of the story taking place in Washington DC.
bailedI'm crying "uncle" on this one. The world-building is phenomenal, but like with Star Wars episodes 1-3, I really can't get interested in the politics and economic details. I hate DNFing a #bookspin title, but here I am.
Sunset isn't great reading light, but it gives a nice break from the intensity of the tagged book. I read The Sparrow years ago, and I'd forgotten just how brutal it was until I started this one.
I probably post this kindle deal every time it comes up. One of my very favorite books of all time. If you‘re a US ebook reader, and you like complex speculative fiction/ scifi/ difficult to pin to a genre books, I can‘t recommend this enough!
I‘m about 1/3 through the tagged book and a couple chapters into Ten Women. I decided to bail on The Silence of Bones, since somewhere along the line I lost the thread. I also finished Romantic Comedy and The Hobbit. I need to add back another mystery, based on the whims of Libby.
That‘s 4 books so far for the readathon.

A few years ago, I participated in a Litsy group that shared books with each other. A group notebook was sent with the book, and each person wrote their review. It was lots of fun. This was one of the books. I had never heard of it. It was amazing!
