Love this section of the book and brings me back the wonder I had upon being introduced to the library as a kid.
“Books everywhere.
So many books, more books than I'd ever seen all in one place. The backs of books, in rows that reached up to the ceiling, books and books and books, at every level, high and low, piles of them, shelf after shelf of them.
Wherever my eye went, books.
Oh! I said.“

A dystopian novel that‘s light on details but heavy on word play.

The Book Censor's Library | Bothayna Al-Essa

A humorous, clever and satirical story about book censorship. I enjoyed all the references to Orwell's 1984 and other banned books.

Books about the future can be really fun and scary, all at the same time. This poor schlub, whose job is making sure allowed books reflect the views of the current government, is caught in a quandary when he starts to fall in love with the stories that are banned. Was never sure where this book was going, but it felt timely and sometimes realistic.

This book gave me very ‘The Last of Us‘ vibes and I can‘t help but wonder if the author was inspired by that story. Beautifully written, dystopian, sad. Two best friends on a hunting trip make their way back to a different world. A world on fire, with bodies in the water, bridges blown up, guns on rapid fire, flags torn but flying. This world created by the author feels like it‘s getting closer to us by the day.
