I feel like this book is describing a post-Trump world. 😩

Oh my....I've finished the Patternist series! It snuck up on me, I was so deep into it. But I'm not sure I'm ready to move on from Octavia Butler yet.

Survivor | Octavia E. Butler

Mehso-so

Butler herself said that this was her least favorite novel, and she purposefully let it go out of print. As Patternist books aren't that long, I decided to read it anyway. And it was good- really good! Up until the very last page. All of her books have a somewhat ambiguous ending, by this one was just downright dissatisfying. Maybe she wrote herself into a corner? It's a bit like Mozart's Requiem- maybe someone just needs to rewrite the ending?

Patternist was great, but holy moly, the second book has me hooked! I'm so overdue for Octavia Butler. 😩🙌

This may actually be my favorite cartoon. You can tell this family loves one another, warts and all. They manage to be funny without being mean about it. The characters' relationships with each other are so well written, and even if it occasionally wanders into the realm of the absurd, that's okay because real life is fucking weird sometimes.

Some books you devour, and some books you slog through forever. I finally hit the halfway mark on this one! It's so good, but God I can't get my mind right to finish it.
