bailedI enjoyed the first book in the series. Good premise, interesting characters. This one felt…. Bleh. If I had to listen to her say “lightning girl” one more time… Maybe it was the audiobook and I would have done better reading it. Bailed halfway through and moving on. Life is too short to be annoyed by a book.
so-so3⭐️ Thought the book was ok; not my cup of tea though. #reread #bookclub #fiction #2024 #dystopian #canadian #indigenious
pickGoodness this one hits hard. Dystopian fiction that feels not many miles from our reality. I‘ve always enjoyed dystopian fiction but this is bleak; watching Eilish‘s normal life unravel, the decisions made too late, her desperate attempts to protect her children from the state. The questioning as to how you would respond to these circumstances. An extremely powerful way to tell a terrifying story💔

1) stripes!
2) I recently started the tagged book. But it's a bit too dark for me just now. Going to the library tomorrow to look for a new read.
pick#ProphetSong by #PaulLynch is a fantastic read that smacks your head every other page. It depicts an Ireland that is slowly descending into fascism and civil war, being told by a mother of four who struggles to save her children. Very moving and an ending that will not let you go.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
pickThere‘s A LOT going on in this book… almost a little too much to keep track of what‘s going on. But the ending was quite the surprise and I‘m still very impressed with this series!
pickThis book helped me get through some tough days after the election, the horrible violence in Amsterdam and all the fake news surrounding that night.
I knew I could count on Marrs. This is another good speculative novel set in a near future Britain where people are encouraged to upgrade their relationship to a Smart Marriage, which is tempting because then you benefit from NHS and top education for your kids etc. ⬇️
pickSecond book in the Article 5 series. It‘s YA it‘s dystopian. I am a fan. 4 🌟
I am not sure if this is true but it sounds very plausible. And yet AI is taking over… so scary!
