I was originally going to tag The Hunger Games, but then I remembered how much I enjoyed this book when I read it! It‘s always encouraging to read about the strength of a community coming together against a rising fascist power.

#SundayFunday Hope you all are staying safe and healthy, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

Second #roll100 read, and I enjoyed this near-future dystopia, although it‘s was frighteningly plausible. Not sure about the bovine chorus, but I liked the intertwining stories and some interesting themes raised.

I love books like this … and B movies … it‘s like WestWorld had a baby with a VR video game with grampa Jurassic Park overseeing it. It takes place hundreds of years in our future.

A crime drama, mystery, amateur women sleuths, sci-fi thriller, with a side of creepy AI.

Murder Land … where everyone dresses up and interacts with famous (serial) killers! Need I say more?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Good morning my #JuneOfARC littens, and thank you for coming along with me on this journey to work on our NetGalley backlogs!

We‘ve finished the month, and so I‘m wondering if there‘s any old ARC you read that you really want to recommend!

I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the tagged book! It ended up being much more hopeful than I had thought!

eskoch28 I spent the whole month fighting with my netgalley app 😭😭😭 but I got an audiobook and a digital book read! I'll make a post afterwhile 7mo
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I really enjoyed my non-fiction read and it wasn‘t old, but the next Flavia book by Alan Bradley was entertaining 😄 7mo
julesG I managed five ARCs 🎉 - my favourite was the tagged. About to be published. 7mo

MonicaLoves2Read I loved Paul Dorian's Pitch Dark. Of course, I love the series. Loved Linda Castillo's next one in the Kate Burkholder Series, Burning, also 7mo
BookmarkTavern @eskoch28 Good on you for persevering! @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Wonderful! @julesG Wow! Congrats! @Monica5 Sounds great! 7mo

Strangers Rose & Beo come together as their city seethes w/ violence when the National Peoples‘ Voice ramps up their propaganda against the “unnatural degenerates” threatening the city.

Wow! A very powerful read about the encroachment of facism, the strength of community coming together against hate. A sweet poly romance & the power of stories! Everything resolved more easily than I anticipated, but that‘s an allure of fiction right?🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

After a busy start to the day (farmer's market, lots of cooking, Eid lunch, IT troubleshooting for the elderly, and an hour's work) it's time to relax with a cup of lemon verbena tea, leftover cheesecake & some lovely raspberries . And the tagged book.

TheBookHippie It all looks so lovely!!! 8mo

The political situation being what it is in France right now, I find it hard to concentrate on books, but I did finish Epilogue of the Raindrops (although I probably was too distracted to really take it all in) and a small collection of poems by Sigurbjörg Þrastardóttir. I am starting Blackout Island.

Bookwomble Feeling it here in the UK, too. I'm hoping calmer, more peaceful and inclusive politics arise from the current reactionary turbulence 🕊️ 7mo
Dilara @Bookwomble Fingers crossed! But the current climate is vicious right now. 7mo

Banksy is always needing and looking for attention. My favorite time of the has become our bedtime when he wants to snuggle while I'm reading.
