#believethehype. It was really fast paced and suspenseful while still being emotional and sciencey. If you're a fan of Through The Wormhole then you should read this book. #thriller #suspense #scifi #audiobook #audiobooks #awesomeaudiobooks

This is a #believethehype review. Can't really say anything that hasn't already been said about it. Pick it up, it's a #quickread. Heavy topics but important, should be required reading in high schools, etc. #quickread #audiobook #audiobooks #awesomeaudiobooks #staywoke #nonfiction #raceinamerica #nonfic

Station Eleven: A novel | Emily St. John Mandel

#believethehype I put this on my #tbr because I'm a sucker for #postapocalyptic stories so I was annoyed that the story started to focus on Miranda/Arthur before the apocalypse but I quickly got into it.

I started this yesterday and I have just finished it and fallen into an absolute state. I am weeping- ugly weeping my housemate just came down seriously worried for my welfare. If you haven't read this book read it it's absolutely beautiful.

KarenUK Convinced! Stacked! 7y
MMenefee Going into this, I doubted the hype surrounding it. BELIEVE THE HYPE, LITTENS! 7y
Gayan I have and you have convinced me to rescue it from the bottom of my TBR stack. 7y

Beautiful writing? ✔️ Beautiful story? ✔️ Heartbreaking? Informative? Intelligent? ✔️✔️✔️ This book, a series of vignettes following a single family for 8 generations - one branch staying in Ghana, the other brought to the US as slaves - lays out 300 years of history on 2 continents with depth and feeling, all in 300 pages. There's so much here and it's so well done, I'm awed. #believethehype #diversathon #weneeddiversebooks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Suzze Probably my favorite book of the year so far. 8y

Yesssss! I didn't entirely love the interview/journal format, but the story eventually hooked me. Cannot wait for the next installment. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 #believethehype

MrBook It's rare I like the format, but there have been a few books I didn't mind it. 8y
