My favorite local used book store (where 90% of my physical books come from) said about a month ago they had to relocate & just announced they are leaving my town😭 actual worst news

a stick-figure-like drawing of a person holding another while they are reaching towards stacks of books. the text above the person holding reads “you have enough books” and the text above the person being held reads “but i don’t have THESE books”

NO THATS SO FAIR!! Especially since it’s an mmo so you gotta play monthly. Watching a playthrough of the story is valid & the story is sooo good I can’t blame you

The Found Object Society by Michelle Maryk. Read on kindle. 3.5 stars out of 5

The Found Object Society by Michelle Maryk. Read on kindle. 3.5 stars out of 5

Greta Davenport has been living with survivors guilt following the car crash that killed her parents 20 years ago. Since then, she has found ways to test her morality, until one night when she discovers the Found Object Society. At the society, members can go on voyages where they experience the death of another person by holding the last object they touched before their untimely death. Greta is hooked, but she has all these unanswered questions about how it all works. She is determined to get answers at all costs, even if that means breaking some rules. 

I really enjoyed getting to go into these different time periods & perspectives as we went on the voyages, but also that there was an overall mystery to be solved outside of these experiences. I found myself eagerly waiting for the next voyage wondering where we would go next. Maybe it’s because I found those chapters a bit more captivating compared to the overall plot. The fast pace of the novel kept things moving along & left just enough to leave me wanting more. 

Leading up to the climax, there didn’t seem to be any stakes or potential consequences which lead to a lack of tension. So once we got to the climax it didn’t feel like there was much build up aside from the final voyage. As others have said, the ending itself left me more confused than resolved. I think I enjoyed how things played out (from what I understand), but certain details left me confused as a reader & needed a bit more clarification. 

3.5★ rounded up

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for the arc!!
