So close to being done w this book. It is so good. But it‘s a lot right now - it‘s a lot of “wait, is this supposed to be *speculative* fiction??” It‘s intense. And, look, I don‘t 💯 agree w the main character, but I do *know* her. She‘s pretty much my mom…. 😅
Also enjoying (tho struggling w focus) the 🧙🏼♀️ book.
And guys! 2 more Holiday swaps!! Wish I could do them all, but I have *done* them all and you should too!! 🎄🎁🤡❤️🖤
pick#HauntsAndHexes: A positively #chilling adaptation of Atwood‘s classic dystopian novel. I found the graphic novel to be eerie, striking, and effective. It has allowed me to experience the story again in a more visually affecting way, amplifying my horror and indignation. See here on how I featured the original Atwood novel and this adaptation here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kt1
pickForgot to take a picture of this science fiction graphic novel before I returned it to the library. Very smart dystopian world building with a distinctly anti-facist bent and a compelling main character who is an anthropologist who "goes native" while visiting an off-grid survivalist society called "Simplicity." Mattie Lubchansky is very funny and her art is very fun, cartoonish but also emotionally compelling. #TransBooks #QueerBooks
pickWhen I first read this in 1985 it had a big impact on me and it‘s one book that stayed with me. I‘ve not watched the series and probably won‘t. This reread allowed me to see how much is actually happening now. Loved the authors introduction written in 2017. Who would have thought back in 1985 that some of this could be a possibility.
pick3.5 stars
I can't believe this was published in 1932. It talked about very advanced topics and many of the things mentioned are still relevant today. It is disturbing and thought provoking. It makes one wonder how far we, as a society, can go to have a Utopian type world.
I highly enjoyed the first half of the book but was very confused with the second half. I'm not sure how I feel about the story's shifting focus from Bernard to John.

It‘s been an exhausting couple of weeks, but I‘m moved, unpacked, & mostly set up! I still need to get a few boxes of books out of storage, but happy to have my reading corner ready. 🥰
I‘ve been unable to read much, but have these 5 books pending! Christmas Pig, I‘m slowly but surely reading with bugga, I Killed the King is NetGalley (I know, I was supposed to stay away, but that cover!), Long Island is audio, & tagged is #RealLifeBookGroup… 😅
#CharacterCharm Day 24: Not exactly a sanctuary for #Voyager(s). Looking forward to reading this one soon.
