March was another month where I didn't do a good job writing down the books I read. I think I only read two though, but I started a Serious Book, which has consumed my reading time. Without further ado...
Seed - Rob Ziegler. Set in a near future post apocalyptic America, global climate change has destroyed the fabric of society. What remains is held together by a bioengineered seed called Satori, produced by a single company. You can probably guess what happens next. I thought this book was ok, but not particularly novel or exciting.
The Domesday Book - Connie Willis. I really liked this book. In the not so distant future, historians study their topics by going back in time and observing them first hand. Kivrin is a medievalist who is going back to study the reconstruction after the Black Death. Unfortunately, the calculations are a little off, and she ends up too early and must deal with the plague itself. The time travel plays a relatively minor role in the story - anyone who enjoys historical fiction would enjoy this too! Highly recommend.
I think I only finished a measly two books in March!
I think finishing two books is good! If you included all the books you have read to the children, it would be in the hundreds! And then there is this thing called work. and parenthood. and life.
