pickThis was different for me, I don‘t usually read books like this but it is definitely on my top 10 list! The way the author gives the animals such heavy emotions that in a way he humanizes them. That was my favorite part. 5/5⭐️

pickThis almost seemed like a YA dystopian book, although I don‘t think it actually is YA. It was a great book, and the addition of Seamus really made it what it was. Loved it! (9)
⭐️: 4/5
On the third day of Christmas my true love read to me…
Lark Ascending was the most hopeful dystopian book I‘ve ever read. Since then I‘ve been reading through House‘s backlist. Yay for new to me authors.
pickAlmost immediately I took this story as a bit of a take off on so many dystopian novels lately.
Bombs drop in Oregon by Mt Hood where a group of teachers are on retreat. It releases a green gas that liquifies men while giving women super powers.
There‘s pop culture, humor, a trek to find a safe place to rebuild. You‘ll meet nice & evil people. I liked that they met nice people.
In the mood for this type of improbably? A quick read.

pickThis was fantastic! It will definitely land on my favorites list for this year. I am a sucker for a well written dystopian, especially one with found family. Lark's quest and the companions he finds on the way touched my heart.
so-soMeh. The structure of this…biography didn‘t do much for me, but I learned something about Butler‘s childhood…so 🤷🏻♀️ At least it was short.
Because I used Parable of the Sower for #dystopianfiction this is #byOctaviaButler for #52Books23
pickI‘ve been a bit wary of America is burning dystopian novels lately, but I loved this more character driven look at a young man escaping America for Ireland, which is the last place to take in refugees. But after a harrowing trip across the Atlantic, Lark is surprised by what he finds when he arrives. What could‘ve been dark and depressing reads more hopeful albeit with some sad moments. Thanks for the rec @Bookwormjillk 💜
#RecentAcquisitions someone went to the library a couple of times this week! 🙋🏻♀️ Thank you to @Bookwormjillk for the rec of Lark Ascending! I‘ve also got two graphic novels, the latest from the Before the Coffee… series, two new releases, and one from the librarians‘ recommendations shelf that hopefully will scratch my itch for more queer lit!
pickA bleak, claustrophobic read that I really enjoyed. Lots of unanswered questions, this left me with a lot of questions about the world it‘s written in. Would recommend.
Plus my #bookspinbingo board for July! Some BIG reads coming up this month 😳
