would anyone else count The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle?

[Jackie, Solstitial Mod]

Yeah I'd say that it's set in an alternate reality

I planned other books for this prompt, but in the meantime, I read these two. I liked them both.

The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. Djeli Clark (in the Master of Djinn world)
Maybe in Another Life
by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I'm almost glad that I read

now because I can use it for this prompt. Otherwise it was a total waste of my time :-)

[Udari]

Read The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead, an alternate history.

[Pam]

I’m reading The Sandman Overture by Neil Gaiman. It definitely has an alternate reality going on.

[Ruth]

I didn't have anything lined up for this prompt but when Raymond Briggs (the writer and creator of wonderful graphic novels) died a few weeks ago I got out his books and chose the chilling When the Wind Blows, a graphic novel depicting what might have happened if there had been a nuclear attack during the 1980s. The illustrations are superb and it's a very poignant story featuring an elderly British couple trying to do what the government suggested.

[Marie]

I read The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon, the second in the Bone Season series.

I'd recommend that series (so far anyway), but my favourite series that fits this prompt is V.E. Schwab's Shades of Magic, beginning with A Darker Shade of Magic.

[Anne]

I am reading The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman. I can recommend the other two books in this series His Dark Materials. The Books are Northern Lights (or the Golden Compass in US) and The Amber Spyglas.

[Barbara]

I read The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story by Nikole Hannah-Jones

[Rachel]

I read:

Jessamine by Eugenia O'Neal is a wonderful book set in the British Virgin Islands which moves between a modern timeline and one set in the turbulent times just after the abolishment of slavery, with a ghost linking the two stories. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ my review

[Kylie]

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

This is a series I haven’t tried yet. I think it was on either the BBC top 200 list, and /or the PBS top 100 list - the Great American Read.

[NancyJ]

I finally read The Space Between Worlds. It wasn’t quite what I expected but it was good.
