Well, I‘m sure glad I didn‘t check to see what y‘all thought of this book before I read it because WOW, there is *no* Litsy Love to be found! Was it an alien story? Nope. Were there some plot holes? I suppose, yes, but can‘t that also just mean that we get to walk away with some questions? Isn‘t it okay to wonder, to allow some space for our beautiful brains to choose imaginative explanations of our own? Anyway, I‘m making this a pick. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Oryx and Crake (MaddAddam, #1) | Margaret Atwood

so-so

3/5

A post-apocalyptic story told from the perspective of someone who didn't realize he was witnessing the end of the world until it was too late.

It's a strange book. I had a tough time reading it.

rubyslippersreads Great cover, though. 5mo

rachelsbrittain Hmm. So would you recommend it? The premise intrigues me 5mo

sebrittainclark @rachelsbrittain I have mixed feelings. There are some elements that are so bad and upsetting that you kind of think the world was due for an apocalypse. It was interesting, but I wasn't sure I would be able to finish it. I don't regret reading it, but I don't feel any need to read the rest of the series. 5mo

Current #librarybook that I‘m reading on my new Kobo! Do you use an e-reader? I love it for reading at night and limiting my blue light exposure.

Even though it‘s winter, we‘ve had some warm days and I‘m craving books set in a cold and snowy place!

Yeah, this is bad. The writing is way more tell than show. I gave it the good ol‘100 pg try and couldn‘t. I made to 25 years into the future where there are 3 settlements and the first one we read about he keeps writing there, you‘re like family. Everyone there, they‘re family. They hugged because everyone there, they‘re like family. I just started laughing. Shoutout to Olive Garden‘s marketing because when you‘re there, you‘re family. Lol👇🏼

Reggie I have 5 more books to read for my goal this year and I just want them to be good. 12mo

Ruthiella Hope the next five are great! Love the Olive Garden reference. It made me chuckle. 🤭 12mo

Reggie @Ruthiella Thanks! Yeah, he must have written that phrase like 5 times over a couple of pages. In my head I was hearing the guy in the commercials. 12mo

batsy Lol! Love this. 12mo

Bookwormjillk I couldn‘t get through this one either. I had such high hopes too. 12mo

TrishB This is in my pics folder for future purchases! It shall be relegated! 12mo

Bookzombie I tried to read Child 44 by him years ago and couldn‘t get in to it. I hope your next five books are great! 12mo

Reggie @batsy @Bookwormjillk @TrishB @Bookzombie there are only so many times I can be told something in a book without the author writing a scene to support it. And then he expects us to be connected enough to where he kills off this character and instead of caring I just rolled my eyes. Whatever. Not for me. 12mo

Rissreads This reminded me of the book I read The last. A similar thing happened. The author used this expression at least a dozen times in the book. She/he spread her hands. I started to get an involuntary tick every time it came up! It really pissed me off in the end! 🤣 I‘ll give this book a miss. Good luck on your last 5 books! May they be fabulous! (edited) 12mo

Reggie @Rissreads Lolol, yeah. Sometimes it‘s just a word, too. They keep using it. I totally understand. Thanks! 12mo

Centique @Reggie @Rissreads the funny thing is when i wrote a novel and did a writing course i discovered my own overused phrases. It was so bizarre! I was writing for a year or more and every chapter two or three times someone would “hold their breath” or “ take a breath” Completely shocked me when i read it and saw how often i mentioned breath! (edited) 12mo

Centique @Reggie @Rissreads but YET we were just beginners and even we could use google search and find our overused words - so no excuse really for publishers and editors. 12mo

Rissreads @Reggie @Centique yep someone needs a kick up the arse! The editor was definitely asleep at the wheel! 12mo
