⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Haunting, intense, loneliness, love, survival, self reflection.

What does it mean to be human. Powerful read! I wish more people were aware of this book.

Lesliereadsalot Got this one coming up! So glad you liked it. 1h

TieDyeDude They are so lazy in their racism, they can't even come up with a good excuse. Nothing about "DEI" justifies erasing any mention of the accomplishments of someone who happens to be a person of color. 9h

I love her watery imagery throughout both this book and her other. I wonder if she's a fellow Pisces...
Nice sense of sibling more-than-rivalry, almost apathy towards each other.
The gloom of the rain and rising waters. The tidal shifts of each sister.
The ending was rushed I felt and not thought out...

I can't remember that Katniss was this irritating the first time I read Catching Fire. She was like a whiny child, only seeing what she wanted.

The story however was expertly executed, and gripping as ever.

I was not a fan the first time I read this. I reread it to see all the connections with the new Sunrise prequel, and though I enjoyed the Covey ties, I‘m still not a fan. I feel like the book is way too long, and yet somehow she rushed the ending. My least favorite of the series, though it does give an interesting perspective from the Capitol. Snow is such a deeply selfish person, but I do think Dr. Gaul is an incredible villain.

So heartwrenching. Best I've read in a long time. My heart breaks for those who can relate to the struggles faced.

When I first came out as lesbian a few years ago I had full support from my family. I also thought for the most part society has come a long way and being gay is a lot more acceptable now. I still see a lot of hate towards the LGBT community even though I've never experienced it. It's sad to think this type of hate still exists.

The Bees: A Novel | Laline Paull

I didn‘t know what to expect with this book, it was a book club pick.

It‘s from the point of view of Flora 717, a sanitation bee in her hive in an orchard. Yes, it‘s from the point of view of a bee, and takes place in a beehive mostly. It‘s fictional, but on googling the bees‘ habits I found a lot of the hive‘s habits and actions are described accurately.

If you can handle strange and you like nature writing, I would recommend this.

AmyG I had such trouble with this one. Hello to the lovely Seitje! 2d
AlaMich I listened to this on audio and it was a favorite of mine. I thought it was very original and a bit thought-provoking. 2d

CoffeeK8 When I get a slump I go to the library and pick out some books on a whim that look interesting OR I read something wildly different. Say I‘m reading a billion romances then I might switch to a True Crime book. 2d

Soubhiville One of my book club members said this was like Watership Down but with bees, and that‘s pretty accurate. Though WD is a fave of mine and is definitely better in my opinion. 2d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25
President Snow‘s backstory. Particularly happy I procrastinated on this one, finally reading it after completing the newest installment, Sunrise on the Reaping.
