In WAYR?, I note what I’m reading and comment...you note what you are reading and comment. Occasionally, I may add a section or a link related to books…
I have finished reading:
T he City We Became by N.K. Jemisin - I’m still caught up on the irony of the guy who is sleeping in the city that never sleeps…
This is a wonderful novel but I feel like I missed out on something since I’ve never read H.P. Lovecraft so now I feel as if I have to read “The Call of Cthulhu” for clarity’s sake.
I was prepared for the “betrayal” at the end but not the...uh, substitute. Great characters, great plot, and I look forward to the sequel.
“What is he like?” Manny finds himself whispering. In the close, quiet confines of the alcove, even this carries. He can actually hear Paulo smile. “Arrogant. Angry. Frightened, but unwilling to let his fear restrict him.”… “He pretends to be less special than her is, because the world has punished him for loving himself. And yet he does. He knows he’s more than whatever superficialities strangers see and dismiss.”
