The Electric State | Simon Stlenhag

A girl travels with her yellow robot across 1997 America where society has collapsed thanks to some VR-like helmets.
The story feels quite unfinished and full of gaps, but it's really awesome nonetheless. If you like science fiction and/or dystopian and/or graphic novels, this is a must read. The artwork is eerily beautiful.

It's been years since I read this #standalone zombie book, but I recall it being a very slow burn that I couldn't put down. A close examination of death and grief that stops just short of being a full zombie apocalypse story.

This book started out looking like a lot of fun but it soon became dragging and was way too long I think.

Not the tagged book, but Khemiri‘s latest novel is not in the database

Wow! Just WOW! This book is amazing. About 3 sisters, Ina, Evelyn and Anastasia. The book starts as the world is heading into a new millennium and the sisters are in their 20s and we follow them until after the pandemic.

Three‘s also a storyteller, telling us about the sisters in the 90s and how he came in contact with them.

A book about family, absent parents and kids

AnneCecilie who take on too much responsibility too soon, about mental illness and how that affects the family. Khemiri is part Swedish and part Tunisian, and all the main characters in this novel is that as well, so it‘s about how that effect you. We watch them as life change and change again. (edited) 5mo

A body‘s found in the swamp, investigation shows it‘s a man. He‘s been there for some time. This man is closer to Police Inspector Wiking Stormberg‘s family than he think. Wiking looks into his family history and find a lot he didn‘t know before. A reminder that our parents have lived lives before we are born and that we don‘t know everything about their past

This is the last in a trilogy, but I still hope for another book based on the ending

Barabbas | Par Lagerkvist
post image
Pickpick

Pontius Pilate offered the people a choice (to keep his own hands clean): The Messiah or Barabbas. Pilate was sure no one wanted to free Barabbas, but he was wrong. No one talks about how this substitution affected Barabbas. What made him worth this 2nd chance? What if he just can‘t make himself believe? I love this short search for identity. Excellent read. 239/1,001 #1001Books December‘s #TBRTarot: author whose last name begins w/ “L”

CBee Awesome 👏🏻 11mo
