The great February book haul: I‘m always on the lookout for books for #litsyatoz. And these are literally #letter A to #letterZ
so-soAn enjoyable short read. I was expecting a little more in regards to the structure of the Soviet Union‘s meteorological network and the work they did. It was less about that and more focused on the life in prison and brutality the meteorologist, Alexey Feodosievich, had to endure as a review on the horrors of the Great Terror. Paragraphs often hop in time which confused at times, but an overall good read for those interested.
pickA YA story with attraction, science, physics, the threads that bind us, and the forces we cannot stop. Racial, cultural and immigrant themes play a strong role in this story. What would you do to stay with someone you loved even though it was impossible? How hard would you fight? What if the universe said NO, only to say YES, a decade later? Would you still say yes?
I feel like I read this before, but maybe it‘s just true to life of families in SoAz as in SoCal. In any event, this is certainly a book that can encourage empathy in young readers who may not be familiar with the stories of people living on the border. I appreciate the care each character is given. Deserving of the awards it received.
bailedAlmost 170p in and I‘m giving up. My expectations where high after reading a review which said it was for lovers of “The Eight Life” and I loved that after the first paragraph and knew I was reading a new favorite novel by the first page.
This book almost pulled me in at page 100, but then it lost me again. I just don‘t have it in me to force read 300p pages by Monday when it‘s due back at the library.
Maybe I‘ll get back to it someday.
