I have certain scenes that Randomly pop up, usually when I’m eating. >! The thing he fed the one trapped in the basement 🤢!<

The troop…. I would like to scrub my brain with bleach please!

I don’t actually think I can ever face rereading that 😬

That’s the thing, I don’t even know if I’d bother buying it if it came out at this point. If he was talking about finishing both the books and releasing them within a year or two of each other I would probably bite. But reading another potential 1000 pages of tapestry and diarrhea descriptions just to have another frustrated possibly endless wait…. Nah.

It was so clever and really great take on the complexity of time travel, I thought! I really liked this one.

The psychology of time travel by Kate Mascarenhas. Smart, a murder mystery and just really well put together on all counts. Life after life by Kate Atkinson - a kind of timeloop, but still timetravelly. Kindred by Octavia Butler. Not for the faint hearted 😬 about a black woman that gets hurled back through time to the southern states during slavery. Amazing, but not exactly feel good… 11/22/63 by Stephen King. Absolutely lovely! The gone world by Tom Sweterlitsch sci fi, complex but worth the slight headache 😅 Sea of tranquility by Emily St. Mandel is haunting and beautiful, I would recommend reading The glass hotel first though, but it can stand alone too.

FYI you can format to hide spoilers by framing the spoiler with an arrow and exclamation mark on both sides. The arrow must point towards the spoiler and the exclamation mark is always closest to the sentence you want to cover. If I see the word spoiler and then want to stop I can’t because my eyes are already on the next sentence 😅 like running into a wall after seeing a stop sign 😂

I haven’t read any of her other books even though I liked The doomsday book. The reason is that I didn’t like the fact that the main sort of plot in the future revolved around missing phone calls. Because all they had was landlines and the fact that no one manned such an important phone constantly or that she had at least thought of some kind of technology that could work, since they had managed to build a time machine, but apparently not thought it troublesome enough to do anything about long distance communication in their own time 😅 but I can safely read her other books then ?
