Pickpick

Such a tough but great read, and just a little too prescient in its version of a President who wants to “Make America Great Again” at times. These books will have to go right beside The Handmaid‘s Tale for me, dystopian that is so very close to reality at times as to become truly scary, just one tiny slip and you could be there. Is horror dystopian a thing? Because in this day and age, this book was a truly creepy read. 😬

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great review. I finished it last weekend and still haven‘t written the review. Need to get it done, since I loved the book. Loved the way it challenged me. #reallifehorror 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes, it was a very challenging read. There were times I put it down for a week without picking it up because it was just too much, and times when I couldn‘t put it down at all. So tough to read, but so very worth the challenge. I‘m thinking The Stand by King will be less scary for me in comparison 😂, I‘m hoping to start that one before too long.🤞 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Just how it was for me. I‘m so glad we did the buddy read because it‘s helped to have people to talk to about it. I need to start The Stand also!! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I agree, it would have been a tough one to read and then just sit on without having anyone else to talk to. Because I definitely felt like I needed to talk about it. I can‘t wait for the discussion next weekend about the ending. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I know! It was a toss up between four and five weeks, and I‘m glad we had five weeks. And then again, I‘m anxious to talk about the end! 6y
