Wow. Just... Wow. This book was dark, unsettling, and dystopian. But it was also fascinating, philosophical, and deeply human. This is among the best speculative fiction I have ever read.

I really expected to love this book as I am a fan of the space program, but I found it to be a snoozer. There were some interesting antidotes, but, overall it felt disjointed and there was too many wives to keep straight. Loved all the photos.

A fascinating story of a woman lost in the shadow of a man's life story, a tale as old as time. Eileen O'Shaugnessy wrote a dystopian poem '1984' before her husband George's opus, went to Spain & helped order the republican fight leading to her facing death on both fascist + stalinist blacklists,+gave ideas toward Animal Farm, but is barely mentioned in Homage to Catalonia or biographies of Orwell. An excellent book that was compelling read.

tpixie Amazing. Sounds like a book Marie Benedict would write.- 15h
charl08 Loved this book. So insightful about the co-writing that he benefited from on his novels. 13h

I had a few choices on my shelves but ultimately decided on this one. When I‘ve finished reading it, I‘ll probably watch the movie.

I‘m so excited to start this study in June. It‘s my #2025nfbookchallenge. I always start the year strong with whatever challenge I set for myself. Then comes March… I‘ve been struggling to finish my nonfiction choices, but I‘m pretty sure that won‘t be the case here. I loved the documentary which brought out some excellent discussions. #readmorebooks #nonfiction #spirituallife

I picked only paper editions for the #14books14weeks so my summer reading challenge to myself is to actually read my #ReadYourKindle books in June, July, and August (yeah, we'll see how that goes 😅)
I think this is some good midsummer reading here; a mix of the cozy and the queer (or the cozy and the weird, but that has no alliteration 😆)

1) Yes, I'd say there are a few.

2) first to come to mind is Harry Potter, but for obvious reasons I'm not tagging it. My second choice is tagged.

A moving, inspiring life story of a brilliant woman. I‘m so glad I listened to the audiobook and heard not only her voice reading it but also her daughters Leila and Talia. Highly recommended.

A great read from my #14Books14Weeks stack. I‘ve wanted to read this for awhile and really enjoyed Atwood‘s take on The Odyssey. Thank you so much @BarbaraBB for sending me this copy! ♥️

Ruthiella I really liked this too. 3d
BarbaraBB Glad you enjoyed it! 3d
