AsYouWish 1. Yes, I plan to read more in the future. It surprised me how many dystopian books I have read in the past and enjoyed. 2. This is a video of my favorite dystopian couple (featuring one of my favorite songs) they were everything my little teenage heart wanted and I still find them adorable!!! https://youtu.be/EE3ltJROTIk 4y

ElizaMarie Ooo I felt the same... looking back I‘ve read several dystopian books 4y

This is a video of my favorite dystopian couple (also featuring one of my favorite songs) they are the best couple ever and everything my little teenage heart wanted when the show was on tv. https://youtu.be/EE3ltJROTIk 4y

Butterfinger

Dystopian Literature: A Theory and Research Guide | M. Keith Booker

I have many favorite characters. This is one of my favorite genres. Peeta, Emi Chen, Four, Day, Prince Maxon, Cinder.

Divergent series

#NovelWatchingCrew @AkashaVampie @AsYouWish @ElizaMarie @Readage @AnansiGirl @jb72 @mollyrotondo

AsYouWish I forgot about Four and Maxon. Before this month I would have said that I haven‘t read many dystopian books, but reading others answers, I realize how many I have actually read and liked. 4y

Scochrane26 I love Peeta. And Four, but I hated the last book. 4y

Butterfinger @Scochrane26 I have only read the trilogy. I hated how it ends. Isn't there another titled Four? 4y

See All 9 Comments

Butterfinger @AsYouWish you may like Marie Lu's Prodigy series. 4y

Scochrane26 @Butterfinger There‘s several short stories about Four that were published before Allegiant. I have them on my kindle, & they‘re pretty good. They may have published later as a book. They‘re told from his perspective-after Allegiant came out, I realized she did that to set up the structure. 4y

AsYouWish Is Legend part of that series? I think I tried reading that one and then ended up reading the graphic novel version. 4y

Butterfinger @AsYouWish yes. Legend, Prodigy, and Champion. 4y

Butterfinger @Scochrane26 that makes sense now. 4y

ElizaMarie @AsYouWish I felt the same way! I thought I never read dystopian but then realized I have read a bunch of them! 4y

Only 6 weeks later 😱 round two of attempting your #dystopianblues package is on its way to you @inwhichHeikereadsharder ! I'm sorry it took so long but hopefully nothing will get stolen this time. Very happy I was able to get a refund from the post office! I shipped it straight from Amazon so hopefully that helps. It might send it in 2 shipments (no idea why 🙄) so be on the lookout for 2 boxes. There are 5 items total.

Having finally sent my box off, I now allowed myself to open the one that has been patiently waiting for a couple of weeks now. It was definitely worth the wait!! Thanks so much, @LitLogophile !! I love it all! I‘m anxious to read Anihilation, and Cat‘s Cradle has been on my TBR for awhile. I‘ve never heard of Nod but it sounds awesome! Also, I can‘t wait to become the proud momma of a Venus Flytrap! This was such a fun swap!
#dystopianblueswap

Mommamanzi

LitLogophile I‘m glad you like it! I thought the flytrap went well with Annihilation 🤔. & I added Cat‘s Cradle for the same reason you added East of Eden... it‘s one of my favorites and I couldn‘t pass up the opportunity to send it to you when I saw it on your TBR!💕 7y

Kendyl @laundry_piles no you did wonderful! I haven't read them! Not much dirt to find I read mostly for school or work so not a lot of time to read on my own. You did great though for real I can't wait to read those I have heard great things and I love anything to do with coffee!! 😀😍 7y

Chrissyreadit @Gissy the pencils are from CW Enterprise - fun pencil company in NYC I geeked out and ordered some for myself. I love pens and pencils that show up on dark paper. (edited) 7y

Chrissyreadit @Gissy someone gave me a solar lamp for Christmas and with the power outage and storm It felt like something you could use for fun and emergency! So glad you like everything. I can‘t wait to hear what you think of the Books! 7y

Gissy I will try them! I have a problem, I love any bookish things, like your bookmarks? scrapbook items, or items to use in my planner! ?This month had been amazing because I loved the books you gave me and I received amazing books in my subscription book boxes! The bookmark that says "Go away, I'm reading" perfectly match with a frame I received on October from a Litsy swap. The frame is also black and white with the same phrase. 7y

Chrissyreadit Yay! I love scrapbooks no and journaling too but have not had time lately to put into them. 7y

Gissy @Chrissyreadit me neither, I have a demanding job and sometimes I'm exhausted. At least we try👍Once again, thank you! 7y

And for the books - and now I know why @sammisho said not to buy Warbringer! I‘ve wanted to read all three books but after the election my dystopian reading fell off dramatically. I was hoping the #dystopianblues swap would kick start my reading again. 😀😉

Mommamanzi

DHill Station Eleven is one of my favorites! 7y

sammisho Warbringer is totally not dsytopian!! But I couldn't resist! Hope you enjoy! The Handmaiden's Tale is one of my favorite books of all time, and was a lifer changer! 7y

jpmcwisemorgan @sammisho I‘ve wanted to read The Handmaid‘s Tale for a long time but haven‘t done it. I haven‘t even watched the show on Hulu yet! And if there was ever an actual warbringer we could end up with a post-apocalyptic situation so it‘s pre-dystopian! 😉 7y

jpmcwisemorgan @QuoteQueen There‘s a Warbringer readalong being hosted by @sammisho next month! 7y

QuoteQueen Ooooooo I'm intrigued. What is a readalong? 7y

sammisho @QuoteQueen It is just a bunch of us reading the same book at the same time and discussing it at the end of the month. Go to my page for my details! 7y

QuoteQueen @sammisho oh awesome! I may get in on that! Following you now for more! I've been so excited about the book for a while now. 7y

sammisho @QuoteQueen I have been excited too! I bought it when it was first released, but have been saving it to read during my Birthday month! 7y

QuoteQueen @sammisho I saved it on a list on Amazon, then one day walking through a book store saw it & it looked familiar, checked my list and was like, "sweet! It's finally out! You're coming home with me!" Lol. I've forgotten what the summary was but remembered I wanted it really badly! Haha 7y

@JenlovesJT47 Jen, it arrived - which is amazing! However, the bottom looks ripped open and the pkg says it weighed 6lbs and I would be shocked if it weighed 1... I don‘t want to assume but if you got insurance and there were normal books in there, I don‘t think there are now :( this is my first week at my new place and I think I‘ve been robbed. I will definitely contact my post office if this also sounds fishy to you!

I finally got my #dystopianblues box out today!!!! Hey @Wbabdullah be on the lookout for your box, I hope it arrives by opening day and I hope you love everything that I shopped for!

Here is the box sitting on the counter at the self service station at the post office. Please ignore the trash can underneath the counter. 🤦🏾‍♀️

It is here @Chrissyreadit 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊👏👏👏👏👏It arrived last Thursday😍but electricity was coming and going so I didn't have good light to take a picture and then the rest of the days were complicated😱But it is here and because I love surprises it is in a place I can see it everyday waiting for January 25th! Thank you so much to you and to @Mommamanzi for coordinate this swap!

Tamra Adorable card!! 7y

Gissy @Tamra Thank you! I just received it Today ❤️in my uppercase book subscription. 7y

Chrissyreadit Yay!!! I was worried because I know there there are many problems from the storm. What is uppercase book subscription like? 7y

Gissy @Chrissyreadit Uppercase subscription is ok if you like YA books and they send like two bookish items, not always very excited. I think you save more money buying the books you like. I'm subscribe to various book boxes because I don't receive books as gifts so this is like a surprise, a gift, from me to me🤗🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y

Chrissyreadit That‘s why I‘m doing these book subscriptions. So I get fun book packages! 7y

Gissy @Chrissyreadit Then you can understand. I'm subscribed to a few of them😱I'm going to be bury with my books😂I wish to have a huge classic library....one day...ahhhh😍 7y

Chrissyreadit @Gissy totally! I think every room should have Books. 7y

Mommamanzi I‘m so happy you got it! Only a couple more days! 7y

Mommamanzi Omg I see Roman on that paper. LOVE it! 7y

MaleficentBookDragon @Mommamanzi I think I can name everyone. I‘m not proud of that. @bookish_wookish @Avanders 7y

Mommamanzi @MaleficentBookDragon Haiden (my 11 year old) just went through naming all of them. He wiggles his eye brows when he came to naming the girls and had a goofy smirk hahaha. 7y

I just sent my #dystopianblues package but I forgot to include my Litsy username. Sigh... @sammisho your box is on the way! Also, everything is wrapped in Christmas paper. I got some teasing for that but I thought hey, something cheery for a sometimes not-so-cheery genre. I contemplated looking for black wrapping paper but I didn‘t quite make it that far.

melrailey I had reversible Halloween paper - orange on one side black black n the other. I used the black side. 😜 7y

jpmcwisemorgan @melrailey I‘m jealous of your wrapping paper! 7y

sammisho Yay!!! Yours is being sent tomorrow! 7y

jpmcwisemorgan @sammisho Sweet! I really hope you like your box! 7y

sammisho @jpmcwisemorgan I am sure I will!!! I haven't been disappointed by a litten yet! 7y

My #dystopianblues box is all packaged up and ready to take to the post office tomorrow! I had so much fun shopping for my match and I really hope they like what I've put together for them. I can't send off a swap package with out a little creativity added so I hand lettered quotes from dystopian novels on some of the paper I used for wrapping. The quotes are not from the books inside though 😉

Mommamanzi

WordlyNerdly Um wow. Looks amazing! (edited) 7y

Mommamanzi This is so beyond amazing!!!!!! Beautiful work, idk how your match will be able to open these works of art! Lol 7y

Well, I tried mailing my #dystopianblues package today but the post office was closed on my conference which is odd I usually mail then and it was closed before I got off. I will make sure and get it out tomorrow!! @Mommamanzi thanks for organizing this!!

Mommamanzi That‘s so weird, mines so small it closes for lunch lol. 7y

Kendyl @Mommamanzi well that is what I was told they are closed for lunch, but I have mailed several times this year on my conference and it has been the same time all year. I am confused! 7y
