November reads! What We Can Know had an intriguing premise, but the story-within-the-story dragged for me. The Guest Lecture was a stream-of-consciousness with some interesting academic topics. I, Robot felt a bit dull—not sure I’ll continue the series. 📚💙 #booksky

Image of November reads for StoryGraph user mol_reads. The books are “What We Can Know” by Ian McEwan, “The Guest Lecture” by Martin Riker, and “I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov.

I’m about half way through The Wise Man’s Fear and I don’t want it to ever end! I felt the same way about the 1st book in the series, The Name of the Wind. If you need an escape from the real world, these books are totally absorbing! #booksky 💙📚🪐

Just finished: Heavy by Kiese Laymon is a deeply personal memoir about his experiences as a black man in US. Women Without Men by Shahrnush Parsipur is a parable about 5 Iranian women, using fantastical elements in the vein of García Márquez. I’m here for any novel where a person turns into a 🌳! 📚💙

American Dirt was my favorite from this month. I also got half way through All Systems Red, but I kind of hated it and didn’t finish. Maybe I was just in the wrong mood for it! 💙📚

I just finished Blindness by José Saramago. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Summary: never-ending nightmare! It was a really interesting premise, but I can’t say I enjoyed it. The graphic content and writing style were challenging for me. Next up: The City and Its Uncertain Walls, Murakami 💙📚

January reads. I read The Serviceberry and found it so interesting that I also listened to the audiobook version. I loved Demon Copperhead, I thought it was a very clever retelling of Dickens’s David Copperfield. The Ministry of Time wasn’t for me. #storygraph 💙📚
