If you’ve read The Guest List, you can skip this one

The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

I read Lucy Foley’s other popular book The Guest List a few years ago and I enjoyed it. Fun, fast paced, interesting story line, so I was excited for another mystery by Foley. This one, The Paris Apartment, was nowhere near as enjoyable because so much felt exactly the same: multiple points of view, some characters sharing a mysterious past, and an outsider trying to figure it all out. The Paris Apartment just felt like a rehashing of The Guest List but in Paris. Jess is […]

Okay now this is a twist!

The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

Okay. Let me see if I can accurately summarize this book. The Woman in the Library is a book by Sulari Gentill about an author named Hannah Tigone who is writing a new mystery novel. Hannah sends each of the chapters she writes to a penpal named Leo for feedback. Each chapter of The Woman in the Library is a fictional chapter in Hannah’s book followed by feedback and notes from Leo. The fictional book that Hannah is writing is about an author who was awarded a […]

I received this book from the marvelous @teresaelectro as part of the 2022 Cannonball Read Book Exchange. Let me start by saying this book was simply a ton of fun.

A solid expansion and exploration in The Stillness

The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin

December 30, 2022 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

Jemisin continues to play with POV and split narration in The Obelisk Gate. In this novel which picks up immediately after the events of The Fifth Season, we primarily focus on Essun at Castrima and her daughter Nassun who is travelling with her father. Essun is still at Castrima while Nassun makes her way to a sanctuary for young orogenes led by Schaffa, the Guardian. There is a deeper exploration of magic in The Obelisk Gate which was very fun. What I find to be especially wonderful […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
