What happens to memories? We have memories. Memories that we accumulate throughout our lives. What happens to them once we are no longer here? Once we pass on to wherever it is we go too. This book tells a story of what may happen to them. A beautiful, touching, loving, story.

This one will be in my top 10 for the year.

I‘m always intrigued when both eras in a dual timeline (1940sTo65, and 1965) story are in the past. This is a really good, albeit somewhat complicated, debut centering on the mythical Timespace where the memories of all who‘ve lived are contained in volumes. A few Timekeepers (white men, mostly) have the ability to erase from existence any memory interfering with the history they chose to create. …Hmmm, imagine - rewriting history😖

I did not like The Ministry of Time or The Midnight Library (the most advertised read alikes), so my hopes were lower than a final-round limbo pole, but darn it, this is great! It‘s all of the things I wanted from the other two, and the twists are fun, albeit predictable. The ending could be less cutesy, but 10/10 otherwise.

The August Book of the Month choices went live this morning! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 What is everyone getting this month? I was very pleased with the selections! Lots of fantasy and even a young adult book! I tagged the extra book I got because it wouldn't fit on the page! 🤭💕📚 I also really love that book of the month is starting to offer books with beautiful sprayed page edges! #botm
