The Last Girl | 
so-soBook one of a trilogy that introduces you to a dystopian world where females are few. We are following Zoey who has been brought up in a facility which inprisions captured females in the hope that they will be the key for reproducing baby girls and ultimately saving the human species from extinction.
At time of posting this trilogy is available on the kindle unlimited plan
pickListened to this first book in a trilogy on audio and it was a good dystopian. A story about how girls no longer are being born and the few that are left have been taken away and are kept in this facility until they are 21. But what happens then may not be what the girls are being told. Zoe, one of six left, has had enough and wants out.
This marks off #3 on my #JoysOfJune readathon goals. @Andrew65
#BFC check-in! Not doing super hot on my goal to ear veggies with my lunch!! But I got some carrots and cucumbers at the grocery store yesterday so hopefully this week will be better!! Making progress on my reading goal of my five oldest unread Kindle books - about halfway through the tagged book, which was purchased February 2016!!

Kind of a sad #bookreport! Honestly, March hasn't been the greatest reading month, but you'll have that!
Anyway, I finished the Christie book, bailed on Deep Blue Secret, read one book not pictured (a Regency romance that was about 100 pages tooooooo long), and am halfway through The Last Girl, trying to decide whether or not I care enough to finish it. I'd still really like to read a total of five books for #24B4Monday (am only 1.5 books in) ⬇
Speaking of bullet journal pages - tomorrow starts the next round of #BFC and I am hoping to read the five oldest books in my Kindle library plus eat some veggies with my lunch every day!
@wanderinglynn
Yay for #BFC!! A shorter, no-team round this time, with a focus on positive habits!! Check out @wanderinglynn 's page for more details!
My goals - read my five oldest unread Kindle books, including this one (purchased Feb 2016), and eat fresh vegetables with lunch every day.
Totally loving seeing everyone else's goals!!
I suppose I should post my own #bookspin list!! Decided to start with my oldest unread Kindle book and go forward from there. Bought my Kindle in early 2016... ALL 20 books are from 2016! I don't even remember why I thought any of these sounded good lol Definitely time to get at least one of them off the TBR!!!

I seriously considered putting this down and not coming back at the beginning. The first 1/4 was slow and came across as whiny, and made me question my book choice.
After a lacklustre opening it picks up speed, moving into a well formed story with some genuinely brave and interesting characters.
So bear with it... it's worth the wait!

Bit of a slow start to #24b4Monday today because it's been busier than I expected 🙃
Picking this one up again has been a nice surprise; the book has been so slow up to this point and suddenly it seems to be all systems go!
One thing it seems to be introducing lots of new groups and issues all of a sudden... I know its setting up for the rest of the trilogy, but I'm concerned about where it'll leave this book 🤔

so-soReview is finally up!
It only took me a few weeks to get back into the swing of things but back in I am! 🤣
Hart's dystopian themed novel is not something I normally read but it was interesting that's for sure. I may read the subsequent books, not sure yet but if anyone's read them, how did you like them
so-soThe action was good, but the characters didn't have enough depth for me. There was too much telling and not enough showing. The middle part of this book is really boring and it feels like it should be split into two different books.
Polished off a couple of rereads (I've been working through them for a while) and started on the tagged book. It's definitely caught my interest, so we'll see how it turns out in the end 😊 #deweysreadathon
so-soPros: I was really intrigued by the concept of female (and thus human) extinction by some unknown cause. The characters and events that took place within the compound were compelling and interesting to read. Cons: The latter part of the story seemed to drag a bit, and wasn't as fluid as the beginning. Also, one of the most likable characters dies, which was very disappointing. Overall, a decent read. I hope the rest of the series is better though!
This quote has been stuck in my head ever since I finished the book....
pickWas pleasantly surprised with this book. Dystopian future novels are not usually my cup of tea as I'm way too optimistic to be able to stomach all the doom and gloom. However, this book had enough action to keep me distracted from getting depressed and the plot offered me enough hope to keep me trudging through the despair.
My scenery while reading probably helped a little with the mood as well 😂😂
Starting this one tonight..... A little hesitant due to the other reviews I've seen.... Hopefully this one will surprise me
so-soI flew through this on a rainy day. The plot is quite a reach- a girl, raised as a sheltered scientific specimen and indoctrinated on her place as such, one day breaks free by wielding weapons she's completely unfamiliar with, survives wounded and alone in a post-apocalyptic Outside, evades hostile search parties and malicious strangers, then returns with a greater arsenal and allies to free her fellow women. Unrealistic, but entertaining.
so-soFor me this book was so-so because the beginning drags on a lot. It kept my intrigued, and I definitely wanted to know how the story ended, but it was difficult to get there. I also thought some of the deaths were unnecessary, but what can you do! Overall a decent read!
