so-so3.5 🌟 a disturbing dystopian read, with parallels to the handmaids tale but much much darker. Playing on the cruelty of teenage girls to each other and for perfection is spookily familiar in todays society , throw in how women have lost the right to their own bodies in the USA and many other countries & the aggressive dominance of men & the eroding of women‘s rights world wide it is eerily reminiscent & scary,
A constant reminder that she was worthless, she was unimportant, she was nothing but a cyborg.
She held the foot over the water and let go.

pickThis book gave me very ‘The Last of Us‘ vibes and I can‘t help but wonder if the author was inspired by that story. Beautifully written, dystopian, sad. Two best friends on a hunting trip make their way back to a different world. A world on fire, with bodies in the water, bridges blown up, guns on rapid fire, flags torn but flying. This world created by the author feels like it‘s getting closer to us by the day.
pickFirst off, I really enjoyed this book. But I am not really sure how to put that into words. It's so very strange, in a very good way. There's not much more I can say without spoiling it other than it was much better than the movie.
🌱 Yesterday I finished Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. It was good so I will read the sequel, but not for awhile because it was kind of tough to get through mentally.
☑️ But…now I can check off another book from my Free Black Women‘s Library sweatshirt. When I got it a few years ago I had only read 2/7 of the authors and now I‘m up to 5/7.!
🩶 Also it‘s not just inspiration, it‘s one of my favorite hoodies!

“Nova shut her eyes and thought, if she were a villain worthy of the name, she would be with them now, celebrating or mourning. And if she were a hero, she would be hurrying to help any Renegades who might be trapped and hurt beneath the rubble. Instead, she listened to the sounds of the city in distress, and did nothing.”

Only two books finished this last week. While I‘m enjoying being back in the office it is cutting into my reading time. I enjoyed the tagged book. A very timely fairytale.
