pickI‘m not a huge fan of Smith (I‘ve tried the seasonal quartet and just didn‘t get it) but this is on the #ToBlonglist and was on audio at the library and it‘s short! 😜
It‘s set in a very near dystopian future as two siblings try to find their way. I ended up quite liking it - not sure what was going on at some points but I appreciated the wordplay and plays on words.
I liked it enough to try the companion book when it comes out next year.

A cuppa, a fresh book to start, and one of my daughter's dogs, the very handsome Tobi. Ahhhh Saturday morning.
pickThis is such a great series!
I love Ruby's voice; her inner conflict and the drama that she endures is so intense and authentic
I would have chosen a different ending to the love interests, but I can be cruel like that.
I just found out there's a fourth book that came out 4 years after all this, so I definitely need to get my hands on it!
pickThe rapture was (and still is a little) a terrifying concept to me especially when I was younger so starting this was quite unsettling. But once I got over that, I was really interested in the human response in this scenario. I loved following the different people and can see how this would transition really well to the screen. It makes me want to watch the show given the way the ending was. Read for #literarycrew

Something to look forward to next year - the next Hunger Games movie.
