Best book of 2024!
#12booksof2024 #june @Andrew65
Honourable mentions for the first half of the year:
Matrix by Lauren Groff
Dissolution by CJ Sansom
Themes: Interwoven Short Stories, Quirky Charcters, Journalism
This was a quirky, quick read - just what the doctor ordered. I enjoyed some of the characters‘ stories more than others, there was one I skipped after 3 pages because I knew my blood pressure was rising from the stress the character was facing 😵💫😵💫😵💫 Overall though, a pick with an astrisk that it will not be everyone‘s cup of tea ☕️🧋🫖
Journalist Kostyuchenko is also a lesbian, apparently giving her government multiple reasons to target her. Yet here she is unafraid to show what truly happens on the ground in Russia while showing a deep love for her country and its people. This is searing and tough to read but excellent.

I did manage to work out the baddie in this one (which is very rare for me to do), and yes, I like this series too!

I honestly think more people should read/listen to this. It‘s eye opening how social media is being used to manipulate what we see/hear and how that influences us. It sounds conspiracy theory like but MR has exhaustive research and examples of when and how the public is manipulated using ‘stories‘ and algorithms. I understand why 🇨🇦 gov‘t blocked news being on FB and IG but the stupid shit is still getting through so it‘s a half assed attempt
Snow White bag #9 6/7 dwarves and a roof for sleeping under. I‘m flipping between this book and Taylor‘s TTPS ( so far my favourites are Florida and thanK you aIMee - I love a good F bomb )
