I came across Cel & Anna because the author, Lindsay Edmunds, is in my book group. It’s not the sort of book I usually pick up. But man, . . . → Read More: Thoughts on “Cel & Anna: A 22nd Century Love Story” by Lindsay Edmunds

Well, Reading Buddies, here we are at our last (at least, for now) wrap-up. How did you like Possession by A.S. Byatt? It seemed, to me, an acceptable way to close out the past year and a half of reading together. I wasn’t totally sold on it at the halfway point, but it . . . → Read More: Reading Buddies Wrap-Up: “Possession” by A.S. Byatt

Hey Reading Buddies! Welcome to the discussion post for Possession by A.S. Byatt.
It’s a bit of a chunkster, and kind of dense at that, so I’m making my way through rather slowly. I’m about 200 pages in, right in the middle of the Ash/LaMotte letters, which I’m finding kind of hard to get . . . → Read More: Reading Buddies Discussion: “Possession” by A.S. Byatt

The Revisionists by Thomas Mullen came to me through LibraryThing’s Early Reviewers program. I read it during last month’s Readathon.
About the Book:
Zed has been sent from the future to a time around our own. His mission? Keep history (and thus, the seemingly perfect future from which he comes) intact by preventing counter-agents . . . → Read More: Thoughts on “The Revisionists” by Thomas Mullen

I received a copy of Tracks by Eric D. Goodman from the author in exchange for an honest review.
About the Book:
The setting: a train. The characters: its passengers. In a series of overlapping short stories, the latter are introduced. As each takes the spotlight for a story, as the train makes . . . → Read More: Thoughts on “Tracks” by Eric D. Goodman

I received a copy of Wherever You Go by Joan Leegant from the author for review.
About the Book:
I don’t usually use pre-written summaries, but in this case, the blurb on the back of the book is pretty much what I’d planned to write myself. If you’re extremely spoiler-sensitive, just skip to “My . . . → Read More: Thoughts on “Wherever You Go” by Joan Leegant
