65/100 Its been awhile since I've read any Frederik Pohl, I'd forgotten what a talented writer he was. This is a story of parallel worlds, of characters meeting various versions of themselves as the wall between the dimensions begins to falter. It is a little confusing at times, multiple POVs with the same name and all told in first person, but it's worth sticking with for the solid conclusion. 4 ⭐ #Read2025

Centique
Familiar: A Novel | J. Robert Lennon

I really enjoyed the premise of this novel - a woman grieving the loss of her teenage son finds herself in a parallel universe where her son is alive, an adult and estranged from her. She spends the novel trying to find out who this alternate version of herself is and how she got to this point. Mesmerising and unsettling! I wish I had figured out more about this woman in the parallel universe and what motivated her decisions in the past ⬇️

Centique but just such an interesting, mind-bending concept. 3w

Centique @Reggie also this background photo is the roof of what was a church but it got badly damaged in the christchurch earthquake in 2010. It was taken over and made into a pub, its called The Church and it has lots of LBGTQIA events and still has all of its fancy windows and big church organ etc. A hugely fun place with live music 🙌 3w

I really like the fairy tale elements with Doxta the witch woven into the sci-fi story. This arc had a great twist and cliffhanger.

A book so acidly cynical that your fingers smoke from flipping the pages. Can't put it down, tho.

The plane accelerates, pressing us both back into our seats so firmly that we laugh. As we rush forward, faster and faster, we lift off from the ground and claim the sky.

Interesting sci fi book form one of my favorites recent authors. This has all the classic comedic style Tayler brought with the bobiverse books. The science is explains in a simple way that‘s not hard to fallow along with. I think I enjoy bobiverse‘s pacing better but on the whole this was a great book
