bailedA book from the point of view of a zombie after the apocalypse seems like a good idea. And I found the first few pages pretty funny. Unfortunately not long after that I got really bored with it. It felt very stream-of-conscious, with not much plot. I made it to about 40%.
so-soI‘m so sad that I couldn‘t find the appeal in this European Groundhog day experience. I do not think I will be reading on. It took me forever, I stalled 20% in, finally got a bit caught up in some of the poetic paragraphs but powered through only because I admire y‘all and it‘s due back at the library tomorrow. I feel as trapped as the MC. Happy Red Wine 🍷 Day

pickLoved this! I have Vol II on audio, and await the publication of Vol III next month.
I‘m reading Frankenstein at the same time and there are some intriguing parallels; Tara refers to herself as a monster and I‘m just at the part in Frankenstein where the monster is living in an annex and watching the family next door…. Sound familiar?! 🤔

(Love it when the blurbs on the back of a book feature some of my favorite authors ✅
pickWhat a rollercoaster, albeit a quiet and reflective one with all the ups and downs completely internalized, as Tara lives her own version of Groundhog Day but not because she was a jerk like Bill Murray just because? Will she unravel it? I have the second and I‘m almost afraid to read it #Schrödingerscat
