Funny and thought provoking, a powerful novel of friendship and quantum mechanics.

Big thank you to @Andrew65 for hosting again this year!
pickThis is my 3rd by TJR and, wow, I love her writing! Very creative, and very exciting stories! I didn‘t think a parallel universe romance could be so rich and complex. I loved the friendship, multiple timelines, and the dog.
Read if you like Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, TJR, quantum mechanics science fiction, or found family.

My sister and I are buddy reading this book and she‘s a faster reader than me. She texted me a few days ago and said Let me know when you get to p. 200! and yesterday while in line at the post office I did. I think I guffawed. I know I choked back laughter and had tears streaming down my face! I had to get a picture to let her know I got there in the most inconvenient place! (It‘s R-rated!) 😆
The joys of a good buddy read!
💙ing the book btw.
bailedI don‘t think I‘ve ever bailed on so many books as this month. This is another one that started out great (a woman looking for her two granddaughters who went missing after their mother was murdered). Unfortunately it turned into a mix of dystopia, fantasy, and magical realism 😵💫
It was an audioread and maybe my English isn‘t good enough but I completely lost track of the storyline and frankly, I didn‘t bother, I just wanted it to be over.
I‘ll bet the library staff got a kick out of processing as many books as possible on Leap Day.
For the first sixty pages or so, I thought THE FUTURE was gonna be The One. Since then, though, it‘s skewed too abstract for my tastes and my attention‘s wavered in a big way. I would‘ve bailed if the Canada Reads panelists hadn‘t specifically said it gets rough but it all pays off in the end. Now, with a hundred pages to go, I hope I agree with them.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My favourite NEVER wins #CanadaReads, and this year I REALLY didn't think it would (especially after the first two days of debates).
But it did!!! And I'm so excited!
The Future by Catherine Leroux, translated by Susan Ouriou is this year's #CanadaReads winner 🏆🎉 I LOVED this book. It is beautifully crafted and demands time, thought, and attention. In return it offers beauty, magic, and hard fought hope. Highly recommended!
pickThe writing wasn‘t as gripping as one might hope but the atmosphere and ideas were amazing. In the depths of destruction, these characters do more than survive. These characters wring every ounce of life, joy, and community they can from a chaotic, grim reality. Even in despair, there is magic. #CanadaReads2024
Day One about to start! #CanadaReads
Tagged was my favourite, but Bad Cree and Denison Avenue area strong contenders!
