The Revisionists
The Revisionists | Thomas Mullen
6 posts | 4 read | 23 to read
A fast-paced literary thriller that recalls dystopian classics such as 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, from the award-winning author of The Last Town on Earth. Zed is an agent from the future. A time when the world's problems have been solved. No hunger. No war. No despair. His mission is to keep it that way. Even if it means ensuring every cataclysm throughout history runs its course-especially The Great Conflagration, an imminent disaster in our own time that Zed has been ordered to protect at all costs. Zed's mission will disrupt the lives of a disgraced former CIA agent; a young Washington lawyer grieving over the loss of her brother, a soldier in Iraq; the oppressed employee of a foreign diplomat; and countless others. But will he finish his final mission before the present takes precedence over a perfect future? One that may have more cracks than he realizes? The Revisionists puts a fresh spin on today's global crises, playing with the nature of history and our own role in shaping it. It firmly establishes Mullen as one of the most exciting and imaginative writers of his generation.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

3 hr ride on a school bus. I should be grading papers. Instead I‘m reading a new book. I‘m loving this point of view.

I probably shouldn't have learned about the Book Outlet. #blameitonlitsy

LeahBergen 😂 7y
JacqMac I've been avoiding it. But the pull is strong. 😂 7y
CoffeeCatsBooks I broke my book buying ban with their last sale (ban was in place due previous book outlet order) No willpower!! 📖📖 7y

Am I the only one who does this crazy nerd thing where you go into a bookstore and snap a bunch of pictures of books you absolutely need--not want, need--& then add them to your TBR later 🤓? Sometimes I feel so alone in my biblio-ways 😔--thank goodness for @BookBabe ! Anyway, this one looks like a seriously fun and imaginative read. Instead of going on GR, I'm going to ask my fellow #Litsyans: have you read it? Ever read Mullen's other works?

HiddenGemBooks I do this all the time! You're not not alone 📚💕 8y
Bkwurm I do that same thing so I can remember to look them up on Overdrive later. Haven't read this one or any of his other works though. 8y
MeganMarieWrites I do the same thing!! 8y

scripturient Haven't come across this book (or the author) yet but this will so go on my TBR. 😊 And don't feel alone: I do the picture thing too. 😌 8y
britt_brooke I've been known to snap pics at B&N then later order the books from Amazon for a lesser price. 🙊 8y
LeahBergen I have a "to buy" notebook and take great pleasure in crossing items off that I have purchased. And I am quite frequently made fun of. ? 8y
todd Guilty. 8y
tapgurl Trust me you are not alone! And has anyone here had to lie about going to the bookstore? I answered my phone at B&N very quietly and my friend said "are you in the bookstore AGAIN???" So I said I was in the grocery store!! 8y
Vexingcircumstance I use to carry a little notebook into book stores to write down books I wanted to read or buy later. Now I take photos of them. I think the photo taking look less like a crazy book geek than my little notebook did. Lol 8y
Zelma @Vexingcircumstance I used to have a little notebook too. I would write down titles for the library or my TBR list. @MrBook you are certainly not alone in this. Smart phones make it so easy with the camera. My TBR list is longer than ever! 8y
ohyeahthatgirl @britt_brooke B&N's prices on their website are usually competitive with Amazon and free shipping for orders over $25. I do that allllot. 8y
Zelma I haven't read The Revisionists yet but I really liked Mullen's first book. It resulted in some great discussion for my book club and I am always a sucker for quality historical fiction. 8y
TheBookAddict Lol, I thought I was the only one! 😆 I'll also be in the bookstore and if I really want a book, but think that it's a little too pricey I shop around online while in the store. If I find it cheaper I order it, and if not I'll either buy it or add it to my list of MUST haves. 🤓💕📚💕 8y
britt_brooke @ohyeahthatgirl Good to know, thanks! 8y
Lynnsoprano If it's not snapping pictures, it's jotting the title on my phone. Sometimes I just feel too conspicuous taking the pic. 8y
Vexingcircumstance I miss having time to wander book stores and make notes about books I want. I do it on Amazon now but it's not the same. My daughter will let me look in book stores for not for hours and hours like I use to. 8y
DreesReads I do it too, I could never get the good reads scanner to work. I always feel so conspicuous! 8y
Carissa-Green-Reads Be careful- bookstores may consider this to be "showrooming" - previewing their merchandise and then buying from a discounter - even if you're not. 8y
ReadingOver50 @Carissa-Green-Reads I have never heard of "showroming" 8y
Loreen 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 not alone! 8y
Amandajoy I do it too! I've seen the showrooming signs at my favorite indie bookstore. I'm always afraid I may get kicked out, but I usually buy something. Besides true book nerds should know we can't possibly afford all the books we want, right? 8y
megt I do the same thing! 8y
CoffeeBooksandTheDoctor I do the same thing!! I thought I was the only one!! I've had people give me weird looks because I was taking pictures of the books. 8y
LauraBeth I'm always doing this too 😀 8y
Nonaroo Yes!! I do it all the time. It really helps when a few weeks later I'm in the store and I can go through my photo album and see photos of some of the books that I would like to buy. 8y
LibrarianToujours Me too! But I'm usually taking pics so I remember to buy it for the library. 8y
LibrarianJen I do it too. I go one step further and see if the library has it. If they don't I submit a suggest a purchase form. They always buy me books I want to read! Or I guess it's for the library, not really me but I get first dibs! 8y
Bklover I take pics of LOTS of books. I have a folder on my phone filled with pics of my bookcase shelves - one pic per shelf- so that if I am at a bookstore and I see a book I want I can make sure I don't have it already. 8y
Autumn Guilty:) 8y
Crystallinegirl I take pictures of books at bookstores too! I'll either look them up on my library's mobile app or check it on the computer later before I decide to buy. 8y
rivercityreading Oh, I read this and enjoyed it!! 🙌 8y
Eyelit I do that at bookstores and the library (cause more often than not I've hit my checkout limit)! 8y
CoffeeAndABook Same here, done it many times 🤓 What a delight to know I'm not the only one doing this! 8y
[DELETED] 3323341091 @LeahBergen me too! mine is broken down into genres and languages even ?. i get teased over mine as well. my "you have the stones to judge me?" face shuts 'em up quick. 8y
[DELETED] 3323341091 you are not alone, @MrBook. i take photos and have a book journal as well. crazy organization all in he name of reading! 😊 8y
BookBoggart I take pics at bookstores, people's houses I'm visiting, even the library for future reference. I'm never shy or scared to do it. If someone at the house asks I'll be like I wanna read your book. Haha. 8y
ApoptyGina69 Of course!! I do this ALL THE TIME. Everywhere I go. Wait till you all get a load of my San Francisco wish-list/shopping pix Sunday through Wednesday. 8y
rustoryhuf Before th@ invention of the camera phone, I always had pen and paper when in a bookstore. 8y
Cortg Yes! I also take pix of barcodes with the Goodreads, automatically adds to your TBR books. 8y
NovelGirl82 My phone is full of pics of books I need!! 8y
Laalaleighh I totally do this and I have an album in my iPhone that is specifically dedicated to books I want. Also, I caved and bought this one not too long ago. 8y
coastalreader Yes! I do this! So good to know I'm not alone. 8y

MrBook @Carissa-Green-Reads Oh yes, very much aware of that!

LibrarianJen @MrBook I might be a librarian, but I'm nowhere close to being an expert. 😊 8y
MrBook @LibrarianJen 😊👍🏻 Close enough for me 😉👌🏻 8y
