Meh story was okay. I liked the art and the vampires were my favorite.

Loved this book and the idea of the two parallel realities. Having lost the love of my life, my better half, my soul mate last year the final line of this book left me bawling at my desk at work. So so good. All the stars for this author, this book, and this #audiobook narrator!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

At first I found it tiring jumping back and forth between two storylines, but as they progressed and I got more invested in both, it wasn‘t such a bother.

monkeygirlsmama I'm listening to this one right now, and I'm enjoying the split versions. 3mo

AileenRR @monkeygirlsmama It‘s helpful that she makes it so easy follow while listening. Ordinarily I might need the paper version so I could flip back and remind myself what‘s going on 3mo

monkeygirlsmama @AileenRR Agree. There was only one spot, maybe two, where I got slightly distracted for a second and then didn't know which version of the story I was in so had to rewind a bit. As a whole though I think she did a very good job of keeping them distinct enough to differentiate between. 3mo

bailed

I 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.

Caroline2 It‘s CampLitsy syndrome. 😂 I‘m so excited about all the new books to look forward to that I‘m struggling to concentrate on my current reads. 10mo

BookWrym All the things you don‘t like make me want to read this 🤣 10mo

BarbaraBB @Caroline2 That could very well be it 🤣🤣 10mo

BarbaraBB @BookWrym I know! I like all those genres too but this mashup was too much for me. But it‘s probably me, the book won the Canada Reads! (edited) 10mo

squirrelbrain Definitely sounds too much! 10mo

Suzze I started reading it because it was set in Detroit (where I live) and it won this year‘s Canada Reads (we get CBC tv here). I started it three months ago and am only 11% in. It never calls me. 10mo

BarbaraBB @Suzze It has all the ingredients to be fantastic and I know many people do think it is so it is probably my/our state of mind 😀 10mo

BennettBookworm I set a personal goal this year to DNF any books that weren‘t keeping my interest… and so far I have DNF‘d a LOT! 10mo

Suet624 You‘re my bailing hero. 10mo

BarbaraBB @Suet624 I always feel so stupid, bailing… 10mo

Suet624 I know. I get that. But sometimes it‘s just gotta be done. 10mo

The Future | Catherine Leroux

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.

The Future | Catherine Leroux

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

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!

BarbaraBB That seals it. I‘m off to buying it! 12mo

TheKidUpstairs @BarbaraBB ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you find as much love in its pages as I did! 12mo
