One to put on the #TBR list ? "This is a book that is both beautiful and profound, certainly DeLillo's best since Underworld, and will reward repeated reading." - The Guardian ? And the cover design is stunning too. ?

Another sci-fi novel that has really caught my eye -mostly down to the amazing cover art. 📖 I love the quote from Hugh Howey (another fabulous author).

Set in 2040 as humans have just got over their addiction to robots. The book opens into a scene in which there are multiple 'Babybots' confiscated from children and placed in a warehouse where they await their fate. 📖 This book has gone straight onto the TBR pile!!!

A stunning paperback for the summer! And if you flick through the pages, the octopus inside moves. ❤️ I adore this book and can't wait to read it.

Vanessa @Lindy I agree with your comment about the subtitle - look at the one on the paperback! It's different. I like it better. What do you think? 9y
Vanessa @Gemofftheshelves I liked this one - enjoy! The moving octopus is in the hardcover as well - fun little "extra." 9y

A beautiful cover for this paperback - due out in the UK in June. Our view of history is usually dominated by a Europe centred view of events - this book aims to look at it from a different perspective. 📖 It's going to be a bestseller!

Such a harrowing look at Chinese history through the memoirs of three generations of women. I've learned so much about the country's past through the eyes of normal people, and I am now very eager to learn more. A dark book, and it's difficult to read too many pages at a time.

Simona @Gemofftheshelves I have this book on my e-TBR pile and only now I realize how big is.😅 9y
