pickThis book has such a unique premise (a mother traveling back in time to figure out why her sons commits murder), and I had a terrifically fun time reading it. It had excellent red herrings and misdirections, and the perfect amount of satisfying reveals. I liked Jen as a main character and how realistic her sleuthing was, and also the themes of parenthood and the emotional weight of missing out because of the busyness of life. A fantastic read!!
pickAfter reading Timequake, I was left wondering what Vonnegut would have thought about technology and science in our current climate, Post-COVID.
In the book, mankind has 10 years to figure out its next move and they don‘t or can‘t or won‘t. There‘s nothing more pessimistic than that… and of course the humanist in me agrees with the synopsis. If television is an eraser, what is Google, AI, and Social Media doing to our awareness?
pickI wish there was more Miranda and Nicolas. This has been my favourite of this series so far, and I expect it to remain the favourite until the end. #74-2024

bailedNope, not for me, I had to bail.
Couldn't enter into the story, didn't care about the characters.
There are too many other books I'm enthusiastic about for me to lose valuable time with one I don't connect to.
pan(1977) Second in Goulart's Jake Conger series, featuring a near-future secret agent who can turn invisible. In this one the President is disposing of political rivals by sending them on one-way trips into the past via unregistered time machines. Goulart's humour is frequently in cringe territory here, with ethnic, trans, and boob jokes. And still it's better than I expect from the next book in this project ...
So... This was actually a really fun exercise 😈
Some months had few misses, and there's a mix here of bails/not for me rn vs things I legit think aren't great.
Tagged I am celebrating because it is the first in a series that I think i will likely continue anyway 🤪🎉 - I think books after this one won't have the things that bugged me, mainly the way the male MC treats the female, and the whole cw portion mid book is one of my trigger topics.

pick117/150 It took me awhile to get into this book, I thought it dragged terribly in the beginning, but once Kiven was able to talk and interact with the people in the past, the story got much more interesting. Usually with dual storyline books, I find one part more interesting than the other, but Willis kept both the past and present stories gripping, so I didn't mind when it flipped from one to the other. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
