Loved it a lot. I cried so much that one of my sons was like, “Mom, are you ok?!?”
Now all I want to do is watch NASA/space movies like Apollo 13 and Gravity and Arrival 🚀

Cuilin I guess I need to add this book to my Goodreads so that I can count it in the total number of books I‘ve read this year. 💛 4h

Thanks, Shardlakians, for being so accommodating to everyone. I went for the halfway point to hopefully be fair to all of us. The discussion date over the whole TOME of a book will be on 10/15. I've already read fab reviews of those who finished. Hopefully that will work for everyone. 💛💜🧡

Number 10 in the series begins with an Indian woman being murdered. Maisie is on the case while trying to make some big decisions about what to do next in her own life. This is definitely a transition book and it moves the story forward wonderfully. I loved learning more about the woman who was murdered and her strong, vibrant personality. Her fearlessness and uncompromising attitude reminded me of Maisie.

This was a powerful, touching and sad story. A quick read, but difficult. 💔

KCofKaysville @Lauranahe It is on my list. I found a free copy and I liked the Parable books. 8h

I picked this up based on a recommendation, and I'm so glad I gave it a chance.

This is a unique time travel story, published in the 90s, but set in a near future pandemic that feels eerily prophetic, while paralleling a story set in an outbreak of illness in the 14th century.

Part sci fi, part historical fiction, part tragedy, overall, this book examines how human circumstances change, but love, fear, hope, and mourning still remain.

“You can try all you like you won‘t go in, I‘m not the daughter of a dog, I‘m the daughter of a wolf. There are six of you, what‘s that to me? You‘re men. Well, I‘m a woman. I‘m not afraid of you, not one bit”. Eponine- Les Miserable.
