The Haunting of Tram Car 015 | P. Djeli Clark

pick

My plan was to reread the novellas and then finally read the novel… and I‘m happy to announce that I have finished my reread. This audiobook has a different narrator but he was very enjoyable to listen to - so I was only disappointed momentarily. Absolutely loved visiting again.

julesG I just saw that there's an episode of Levar Burton Reads with

The Angel of Khan el-Khalili

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, oh nice! I just read that one yesterday, I love a goodreads review with a link to where you can read short stories online. 2d

julesG Also on Apple and Audible 😉 1d

julesG The Angel was a Tor.com short story a few years back. I often read the short stories when I have to wait somewhere unexpectedly and don't have my kindle with me. The Levar Burton find was unexpected. 1d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Thanks for the link - I don‘t know LeVar very well (that time he guest started as himself on Community was my introduction) but this is good to have for days when I can‘t decide which audiobook to start. 1d

suvata The story explores Meg's struggle to adapt and survive in a world vastly different from her own, highlighting her resilience and determination. "Winds of Time" serves as a bridge between the events of "Footsteps in Time" and "Prince of Time," offering a deeper look into Meg's personal experiences and challenges during her journey back to the 13th century. 6d

A History of What Comes Next: A Take Them to the Stars Novel | Sylvain Neuvel

Not at all what I expected but interesting for sure. Who exactly are they, leading Earthers to the stars? Reliving the rise of the space program felt very personal.

Seiously fun, with puns and crazyness galore. I especially loved Braxton Hicks. But there could have been more dodos!

A Dead Djinn in Cairo: A Tor.Com Original | P. Djeli Clark

pick

I told myself I should reread the novellas before continuing on with the novel - so finding this available as an audiobook was a step in the right direction! I loved reading this a couple of years back - but listening to it was magical! Love this alternate Egypt that P. Djèli Clark has created.

CoffeeK8 I loved this book so much! 3w

The Shamshine Blind: A Novel | Paz Pardo

so-so

I really like the premise behind this novel. It's unique (and quite a treat to read about the US falling from power for reasons other than climate change or zombies), but it didn't quite hit for me in the execution. (Also the narrator gave a Brooklyn accent to a character with a Boston accent, which is a small thing, but it bugs me.)
