#ManicMonday #LetterZ. Thanks to @JoScho for hosting! Great way to start my Mondays.

And that‘s a wrap. Last finished book of 2019 for a total of 111 books surpassing my Goodreads challenge of 100. Also completes #LitsyAtoZ.

Man I loved this book. A woman in her late 20's lives in a world where she believes the war has already started, and she is surrounded by pretenders- real vegans, fake vegans, people planting bombs in locations with no message, and her parents, the super liberal, left of hippie extremists, who dream of their daughter being gay and in charge of a terrorist organization. It's such a snarky view of modern liberalism, and I found it really funny.

I keep checking the pub date on this book, because it feels extremely current, not like something that came out 8 years ago. The world was so different 8 years ago!

"... the equation Bubble Tea = Something to Look Forward To depressurizes the misery of capitalism and is a Hello Kitty band-aid on the festering wound of Neo-Liberalism."

This book is not for everyone, but it is extremely for me.

Wow, this is super how I feel about Twitter.

I just couldn't do it.

Just starting this. I'm interested in other's opinions. I'm finding the narration slightly awkward, for want of a better term. I get why it's like that, but it doesn't make for flowing prose. 🤘🏽

Well that was a bust. I very rarely DNF, and never this soon, but good Lord, this was a hot garbage mess. I could practically hear the author trying too hard to be whatever the fuck she thought she was being. As I said on Goodreads, I'm sure she thinks it's very cool and hip and sooooo deep, but IMO it reads like someone gave PCP and three cups of espresso to a nine year old and sat them in front of a computer. Plus racist shit! BYE. 0/5 ⭐

I have no idea what I'll think of this book because it seems like no one I know has read it, so here goes! #nowreading

a few days ago I felt like reading a dystopia & since this has been on my TBR list for a long time, I decided to pick this up
this is a bit of a strange book - and in some ways really more of an apocalyptic than dystopia story - but I'm glad I finally read it & it really got me thinking about the end of the world, the ways in which war arrives, & staying vs leaving 🌟🌟🌟🌟
