I have read all seven, now, of Seanan McGuire's "Wayward Children" novellas and novels with increasing dissatisfaction, until this one, Where the Drowned Girls Go, which brought me back to the way I enjoyed the first one, almost. In this novella, McG ...more |

I started out liking this a lot: great narrator/protagonist, unique storyline, interesting other characters and subplots and intriguing premises. HOWEVER, as in all science fiction which attempts to depict non-linearity in a narrative format that is ...more | |

There are very few surprises in this tried-and-true Pygmalion-in-reverse story, but Layne writes well and it kept my interest, which is not the case with most romance novels these days. The characters aren't quite believable, being extremes of their ...more | |

[image] by Rivera Sun is both a great story and an excellent educational tool promoting nonviolence, intergroup alliances, social justice and peace. This story is suitable as a read-aloud or read-alone for ages 5 - elders and would make a great b ...more | |

There were a lot of elements to Lizzy Dent's book that I liked, such as the setting (Scotland), the premises (switching places with a close friend into a job the switcher can't actually do but has to learn/fake, and a summer romance option), so I did ...more | |
“Knowing that a particle can occupy two different states at the same time—a state known as superposition—and, two particles, such as two particles of light, or photons, can become entangled, means that there is a unique, coupled state in which an action, like a measurement, upon one particle immediately causes a correlated change in the other.
If there is a better word to describe my relationship with Fanio than entangled, I have yet to hear it. Even when the two entangled particles—or people—are separated by a great distance (and I mean emotional or physical distance, such as mine with Epifanio, or like being at opposite ends of the universe), their movements or actions affect each other. Yet, before any measurements or other assessments occur, the actual "spin states" of either of the two particles are uncertain and even unknowable.”

“I ask, “How may I be of service? Why are you here to see me?” I put a slight emphasis on “me,” and they respond to that, first.
“You ask us to come,” they intone, in unison.
Considering for a moment, I chuckle. “Yeah, I guess so,” I reply. “But, why now? And, I can’t be the only one inviting you. So why come to me?” I repeat.
They make those amused sounds again (at least, that’s what I think they are) and do not respond further.
I shrug and ask, “Will you help us humans? I have lots of questions.”
“We have lots of answers,” one of them says.”

“Now that we are all properly introduced,” I continue, “Back to business. Why are you here?”
“Earthers need help, yes?” Janis asks.
Led adds, “We have been approved to help.”
“’Approved’?” I query. “By whom, or what?”
They seem to turn to one another and confer silently. They then respond in that odd chorus, again, “The ‘Many Worlds Collective, InterGalactic Council’ sent us.”
I sit back, a bit stunned. I mean, it’s one thing to be confronted by holograms that are not humans and not like anything on Earth. It’s quite a different thing to be told in clear terms that there are many worlds and that they are united in some way.
“Is Earth a member?”
Again, the “laughter.”
Diana responds: “Yes, but Earthers mostly don’t know about being a member, yet. Most of you don’t even know about the Collective, right? You are to refer to it as the ‘MWC.’”
I nod slowly. “Most of us?”
“Well,” explains Led, “This is not our first contact with an Earther. We’ve been here all along and we’ve had thousands of contacts over the millennia. This is just the first one you’ll be allowed to make public.”
“I will be allowed to make public?” I repeat, starting to panic a bit. I picture a media frenzy occurring right outside my rural cottage. Yikes! What is starting, here?”

“ESPE: So, in both conversations, Lama Sangyay steers you away from thinking directly about Epifanio or your relationship (or lack thereof) and right into the nature of your mind. So masterful.
CLARA: Isn't he? I hate those instructions. I do not want to do those contemplations. I want Epifanio!
ESPE [laughing]: Of course you do. How does it feel to want?
CLARA: "Et tu, Brute?"
ESPE: Oh, sí, Señora. ¡Yo también!”

“Fantastic accomplishments seem like something unattainable and everyone doing the extraordinary seems to be unlike you until YOU do something amazing.
