- Comment on The Astral Library, by Kate Quinn is a fun romp, specifically directed at avid r 4 days ago:
@kimlockhartga I've been trying to remember the name of a sci-fi fantasy book, but I don't want to give too much away. The young protagnist escapes life in a trailer in rural... Idaho? to find refuge in a small library in the nearby town, and finds a book that's a sort of portal. Ring any bells? 🤷
- Comment on Several of you recommended The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell. I am 100 pages in 1 week ago:
@kimlockhartga Oh, yeah, it's really good! I had completely forgotten the title, glad you posted 🙂
- Comment on Went to pick up a library hold, which I selected based on the author alone, and 2 months ago:
@kimlockhartga @bookstodon I don't think we have, I'll be a *lot* slower than that in the beginning, because it's sending me down memory lane 😆 I never lived in Provo, I was hours south of there, then an hour north, but it's just like I remember it. When he says that city is " primarily of the Church," yes it is. Salt Lake City is the big wordly city by comparison, despite being quite "of the Church" itself. But that was 50 years ago, so things change.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon It's going to give me a workout, because I rarely leave home without a book 😆
