pickIn a dystopian city partially underwater, our preteen narrator lives as part of a “repopulation program”. She and her mother and aunt live in a high rise just outside the flooded zones, and all 3 work as supers for the building. Her aunt tells her folklore from their old country, and convinces her that the woman in the penthouse has a sinister supernatural secret.
A low pick for me.

so-soI wasn‘t really interested in reading Snow‘s story but after reading Haymitch‘s story and the innuendos about Snow, I became more intrigued. I still don‘t like Snow. The characters in general didn‘t do much for me, but I liked learning more in detail about how the concept of the games began and I‘ve officially completed the series. My daughter skipped the series as a kid and is now reading them, so YAY!
pickRead for my irl bookclub. 3.5 ⭐
I didn't know going in it was going to be dystopian which is one of my favorite genres.
#CharacterCharm Day 24: Not exactly a sanctuary for #Voyager(s). Looking forward to reading this one soon.
pickNot at all what I was expecting but it made me laugh, cringe, and think. It‘s due back at the library tomorrow so that motivated me to read it quickly, I‘m not sure if I would have stalled out midway through otherwise. Giving it a pick because the ending was worth it.
Just another blurry Kindle excerpt. Imagine public television surviving a pandemic style disaster. #publictelevision
A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain. The old civilisations claimed that they were founded on love and justice. Ours is founded upon hatred.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
This short dystopian novel has left me dumbfounded, centred around a young women who is initially imprisoned with 39 strangers, it raises more questions than answers. There were moments I had to ask myself whether I truly understood the book or was it actually as simple as the author's writing portrays it to be. It leaves one thinking what it means to be truly human, to be loved, and to be understood.
pickThe store‘s Fantasy/Sci-Fi Book Club read this and I loved it! It‘s a quietly unsettling book about a near future world where things are eliminated from society (the physical item and the memory of it) without notice. For example, one day birds are gone, or the concept of music. An aspiring writer, her mentor, and an elderly neighbor are the main characters. I found it lovely, haunting, contemplative… a great choice for a book club.
