The novel The Deep was written by Rivers Solomon, but the origin of the story is actually more diverse.

Good Morning Romance

The AM Show by T.B. Markinson and Miranda MacLeod

June 14, 2022 by Sofi Keren Leave a Comment

I love a book club. It's so rare outside of them that we're all reading the same books at the same time, and talking about books is one of my favorite things. At one point I was in three different book clubs, trying to juggle all the books and their deadlines. That may have been a tad … [Read more]

Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel

June 13, 2022 by booktrovert 3 Comments

I have been really looking forward to reading this and for me it did not disappoint at all. I'm definitely a fan of Emily St. John Mandel, and I love authors who build an entire universe out of their characters without deliberately building a series / sequels. You can pick up any of her novels and … [Read more]

“To be the world, witnessing itself.”

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

June 13, 2022 by booktrovert Leave a Comment

Content warning - this book contains many mentions of suicide. The plot is very much "It's a Wonderful Life", but it's set in England and instead of a family man on the brink it's a woman in her mid thirties, single with no children, who is losing the will to live. Nora, our protagonist, has … [Read more]
