I really enjoy apocolyptic stories and was looking forward to this one. But it just didn‘t meet the mark. I thought that it was a slow read but it did pick up closer to the end. After this entire slow read I was hopeful for a nice wrapped up ending but it just seemed to end. I was like WHAT?!?!

I‘m not going to lie and say I understood everything this book was trying to say, but it‘s interesting how relevant this book still is. I could see how 1984 and other dystopian novels pulled from it.

Ruthiella I could definitely see what Orwell borrowed from it. 7mo

21! So many I have never heard of!

3 favorites:
We (tagged)
The Forsyth Saga (book and show both sooo good)
Of Human Bandage

3 on TBR
Edith Wharton
Ford Maddox Ford
Chrome Yellow by Huxley (I had not heard of this!)

dabbe For what it's worth, I adore Edith Wharton, especially THE AGE OF INNOCENCE (movie, too!) #TFPAS (Thanks for playing and sharing) 😊 7mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @dabbe Age of Innocence is the only one of hers I have read! Maybe I will crack into more of hers... I don't own any so it will just probably be something I feel shame for not doing 😂

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures ETHAN FROME's excellent, too, and much shorter! 🤩 7mo

I was originally going to tag The Hunger Games, but then I remembered how much I enjoyed this book when I read it! It‘s always encouraging to read about the strength of a community coming together against a rising fascist power.

#SundayFunday Hope you all are staying safe and healthy, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

Second #roll100 read, and I enjoyed this near-future dystopia, although it‘s was frighteningly plausible. Not sure about the bovine chorus, but I liked the intertwining stories and some interesting themes raised.

I love books like this … and B movies … it‘s like WestWorld had a baby with a VR video game with grampa Jurassic Park overseeing it. It takes place hundreds of years in our future.

A crime drama, mystery, amateur women sleuths, sci-fi thriller, with a side of creepy AI.

Murder Land … where everyone dresses up and interacts with famous (serial) killers! Need I say more?

Good morning my #JuneOfARC littens, and thank you for coming along with me on this journey to work on our NetGalley backlogs!

We‘ve finished the month, and so I‘m wondering if there‘s any old ARC you read that you really want to recommend!

I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the tagged book! It ended up being much more hopeful than I had thought!

eskoch28 I spent the whole month fighting with my netgalley app 😭😭😭 but I got an audiobook and a digital book read! I'll make a post afterwhile 1y

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I really enjoyed my non-fiction read and it wasn‘t old, but the next Flavia book by Alan Bradley was entertaining 😄

Book-Makers: A History of the Book in Eighteen Lives

julesG I managed five ARCs 🎉 - my favourite was the tagged. About to be published.
