Ever wonder what happens when a classic literary hero becomes a time traveler? Are you curious what sentient moss would think and do? What would it be like to live forever and watch each of your romances end in the ever eventual death of each mortal suitor? This week’s forecast examines multiple genre-bending story scenarios, including a time traveling Jane Eyre, a smart moss serving as the brain of a space ship with a need for revenge, and an immortal who seeks love but outlives every love interest. It’s hot and humid this week and these books may be able to take your mind off it. Tune in to learn more in this week’s Reader’s Forecast!
