Not My Type of Book

I originally gave this 3 stars but then realized that the only reason I did so was because its simply not my type of story. It was very well written and very poignant, definitely worthy of at least 4 stars. If this is your type of story, you will love it! ( )

I really like the concept. Of course it being a short story, it went by too quickly. On to number 2! ( )

Winter 2021 (January);

My second favorite of The Forward Collection, this book wormed its way so quickly and quietly into my heart. It's set in a possible-future where an asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, but Earth has years of time to prep, save species plants and etc, and prepare for everyone to be getting off the planet. The story is about both a young and an old botanist who both decide for very different reasons they won't be leaving earth, and I'm going to have a soft, small, hurting spot in my heart for this lovely piece for a while.

A touching story as Earth's destruction by an approaching asteroid draws near. Roth includes lots of quiet drama in this short story. The young scientist at the heart of the story plans to give up her spot on the Ark leaving Earth, but her growing friendship with an older botanist makes her question her choice. ( )

A somewhat poignant tale, that is something of an exploration of endings, both inevitable and chosen. A good read. ( )
