pickThis was a pretty good dystopian tale. I was surprised how political it got, I was expecting a little more horror. Not that the idea of an extreme pandemic of ticks isn‘t scary enough, it definitely gives me the heeby-jeebies!
Still, if you like dystopian political stories and can stomach creepy crawlies, this was a good read!

One of my favourite Gordie songs came to mind for #wall. I consider Lightfoot‘s lyrics poetic so I thought what the hell? Why not? Here‘s a youtube link if you want to give it a listen: https://youtu.be/YdYQCOKi1c8 #PoetryMatters

pickAmazing! The world is divided into walled zones after a tick infestation and the wealthy live dangerously through excursions past the Salt Line, which is a chemically treated expanse beyond the zones. One particular trip goes awry and you see best and worst of human nature and the complexities that drive it. I didn't know what to expect with this but sometimes you take the plunge and it's all worth it!
