pickNot my fave dystopian novel but holy hell if it isn‘t good. There‘s so much in the book to unpack. The notion of not moving backwards, but keeping time frozen. The Thought Police. The disappearings.

I went to Audible looking for something else this morning and stumbled across this upcoming release. I tend to use the library or Serial Reader for most classics, but I also appreciate making the most of my credits with collections so I preordered. This collection featuring several narrators will be released in the middle of June.

There is no joy watching every predicted fear come true , there is no smug condescension in saying I told you so as this regime proves that us "overdramatic, doomsday, ridiculous people " were right.
I pray that enough people can and do fight back to stop it quickly.
Getting caught up today after a busy weekend! In a nutshell: John Thorpe is lying, mainsplaining twat, Isabella is an insincere manipulator, and James Morland is...pretty lame. Henry and Eleanor Tilney, however, remain solid and ask Catherine to take a pleasant walk together. She's psyched about it but then John Thorpe totally lies about them standing her up, leading to a quick, awkward face-off between Cath and Ms. Tilney on the street.
