Francis MalkaErasing EmilyI thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters were real, their actions and reactions plausible.
The story explores the legal side of conscious artificial intelligences gaining legal status as individuals in a high stakes court battle.
I much prefer happy endings, and this delivered.
The Lies We Whisper Its the first book in a series, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I read this book in 11 hours, I couldn't put it down-

Re~Reading East La.Times, names they all changed, but the soul of the varrio well that stayed the same. Time flies stories etched over murals of ghosts they never met. Friends & family are gone too soon. Old loves new crushed. Old feuds, family drama. Loved ones' souls glancing down. Hoping we choose the right route, not get jumped through the alley that smells like piss.
Redemption of the wrongfully accused, framed for a crime, they couldn't catch one of us committing. Love bird antics… Unsilenced words leak poetry from a ruca’s lips. The lies, the lust, the hell of all of it…
Maybe we could laugh about it, that maybe one day they would paint a mural of us on these walls after we are long gone. Or maybe our stories leave like dust in the wind. You'd feel the presence but not know the being...
“In the end, homes It's really about all the lives we changed for the better. They may not see it now, but our actions, not our names, will be remembered through this barrio. For how we made things better, not worse for our people.”
I’m reading a book called When Christmas Comes: A Single Dad, Age Gap Christmas Romance by Christine Rimmer
Read And the World Went Silent by Jacqueline Druga, post apocalypse and a bit different to the usual set up, but ultimately disappointing.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I've just finished "The Silk Road" by Colin Falconer. A 4 star book. Historical fiction set in the 13th century, a few decades after Genghis Khan. A period of history I didn't know much about.Silk Road

Just started "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine" by Gail Honeyman. A slow paced start but already has me hooked on to the breadcrumb trail towards impending disaster.

anyone read it? thoughts?
I'm currently reading Crown of Midnight it's honestly one of the best in the series that I've read. It's been a minute since I've read a series so thrilling!
Just Finishing No Rest For The Wicked by Rachel Louise Adams and then picking up Bad Indians Book Club by Patty Krawec a short one.After Prawec's book I am reading something my book club picked Gweneth The Biography by Amy Odell.
I finished Caraval and I had it from the library for six weeks and the first three weeks I read the first 20 or so pages OVER AND OVER because I couldn't get into it because it was boring. It got a little better though I guess.
