pickThis story, set on an island where things disappear & almost everyone loses the memory of them, made me ponder a lot. Very mysterious about where & what happens to the people who remember & are taken by the memory police. Author was able to instill sadness, suspense, the terror & threat of the police, as well as joyful moments between the main characters. Dystopian relevant to our current dystopian country. This was my #doublespin for March.

It was a tie between Recursion and Mickey7. I've read both, so I didn't care either way. l tossed a coin (literally) and the winner is Recursion. If you guys want, we can read Mickey7 in July. Just let me know your thoughts.

For such a skinny little book, it has an awfully long title

pickBefore I Go To Sleep is a well-executed version of what could have been a schlocky psychological thriller, with unexpected depths and surprisingly few foibles. Nuts to everyone who tried to steer me away from it; I thought it was (mostly) great! Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/before-i-go-to-sleep-s-j-watson/
pickFinished this today on the plane home. I really loved it! I only found out now there is a film. The writing is so well done and I just had so much love and sympathy for Maud throughout. It's incredibly original without coming across as gimmicky, at least for me. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I arrived in Cape Town late afternoon and have nothing to do tonight - feeling very useless/unpopular/lonely. I went for a walk and saw some cute squirrels - we don't see/have them where I live. Aside from a bit of prep I need to do for the 3 days in the office, I plan on reading more of the tagged book, which I was enjoying on the plane.
