Klara And The Sun

Loved this one quite a bit, always been a huge fan of robot stories and their ability to question what makes us human, and this one does a good job with it. Also very refreshing to see a robot story that isn't about them going rogue or otherwise revolting against humanity, instead asking "what would it look like if a robot had limitless love for its human?"

I listened to this audiobook on Libby because it was picked for the Portland State alumni book club. I enjoyed the various perspectives and unreliable narrators in this tale of a Halloween murder. The plot skips around in time and feels like a tangled web of infidelity, betrayal, and financially motivated deceit. While rather elaborate in plotting and timeline, I did enjoy this twists and felt it was well paced.

Sounds Like Love

4.5 stars. I’m a fan of Ashley Poston and have been looking forward to this book that combines magical realism, romance and song. I loved how each chapter is a lyric. The book has touching dementia representation. While I think the “magic” of the book was well executed, it’s hard not to have a critical lens of a mind reading situation in which both main characters can tap into each other’s thoughts. My other gripe was how the male main character went by two names throughout the book, which somehow messed with my perception of their bond. Still, I enjoyed this book and will read more from Ashley Poston in the future. I listened to the audiobook with its narration by Patti Murin.
