Number the Stars | Lois Lowry

It's been a while since I read this book, but I think it's a good fit for a plucky group fighting back against a fascist government.

The Iron Heel | Jack London

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

It might be time to re-read this... ??

This LitHub article quotes from the book: "The incumbents refused to get out. It was very simple. They merely charged illegality in the elections and wrapped up the whole situation in the interminable red tape of the law." Sounds familiar! ?

Bookwomble Link to a critique of The Iron Heel by the Socialist Party of Great Britain from 2008, the centenary of its publication. TL:DNR - It's anti-capitalist and anti-fascist in sentiment, but due to London's individualism and social Darwinism, it lacks class solidarity and so isn't socialist. It still has some interesting points, though. https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/2008/2000s/no-1241-januar... 22h

BookmarkTavern Sounds very interesting! Thanks for sharing! 💚 21h

Feed (Newsflesh, #1) | Mira Grant

🧟‍♀️ I gave a lot of weight to the “plucky” descriptor when I considered which book had characters fighting the machine. If you like zombie stories, I highly recommend Mira Grant‘s entire Newsflesh series. The characters are definitely plucky!

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

BookmarkTavern Oh that‘s a good one! I read it for the first time at the very beginning of the pandemic, and haven‘t been able to come back to the series yet. 😂 Thanks for posting! 💚 21h

DogMomIrene @BookmarkTavern I could totally see why🦠🤢 I wish she‘d write more in this universe, but maybe after a real pandemic she‘s like nah. 8h
