I didn‘t really know what to expect going into this book and to be honest didn‘t have the highest hopes that I would enjoy it… but I LOVED it! It was so unlike anything I have read before… heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time! Definitely a 5⭐️ read!!!

Loved this book. I didn't realize they were a series (when I first started reading them, so I have read them all out of order), anyhow, I LOVED it!

My book model is recovered and back to her sassy self for now. Only 3⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this one. But I like how it matches my ottoman 😁 this was a quick read and kept my interest but oh so many eye roll moments And I just wanted to be done with it. I‘m a bachelor nation junkie so it reminded me of BiP on ridiculous steroids. I grew up in the 70s/80s, 🙄 we went weeks without actually drinking water…..

These three books are what I know for sure I‘ll be reading for the #JanuaryBluesReadathon in addition to Shirley a chapter a day for #HashtagBrigade . For sure I‘ll finish the Encyclopedia Brown this weekend but the other two might last me to the 20th. 🤔 If not, I‘ve plenty to choose from. 😆

Quite different from The Giver. But still a not quite normal place. I feel like there is so much more behind the curtain of the dysfunction…

Utterly terrifying, unsettling, and accurate. If you, like me, somehow went through decades of reading without reading this, I highly suggest you try it out. If you read it back in high school or college, you should give it another whirl.

I had a lot of fun with this book. It was my first Sorokin and I can‘t wait to read another. I wish the sequel was translated into English. The “rustic” sci-fi and fantasy elements were such a nice touch. It‘s a short one and I highly recommend you check it out.

This one was pretty gripping - bizarre and dystopian. I have tons of questions that I will not ever have the answers to, but somehow that's okay. It's a cinematic story that leaves lots of room for thought and introspection on what it means to be a woman navigating the world.

From a technical standpoint, this was an interesting read as there are no breaks or chapters. It's one continuous narrative, which lends a unique voice to the narrator.
