You mean the government is bad?
A list of books with corrupt, evil, or just downright bad governments! I'm not sure how I ended up reading so many of these types of books (prob my love for dystopia) but here I am haha. Most of these will prob include taking down said evil government. I will update this list as I read more books with bad govs.

Teenage Millennial Memories Unlocked 🗝️
Allow me to set the scene:
It’s 2 AM on a school night but you only have 100 pages left. You will power through. Forget the math test you have first period. This is your priority. And you must know how the book ends.
I don’t know what sort of millennial catnip these 2000s YA authors put in these books, but let me tell you, my “baby millennial” self was addicted.

I didn’t say it was good, I said I liked it
Cult classics, guilty pleasures, popcorn reads, addictive stories in dire need of an editor, just some good old fun — these are books with an average enjoyment rating that is at least 0.5 stars higher than the average quality rating. This is a purely objective criterion and doesn’t necessarily reflect my personal opinion on quality or enjoyment of these books. Suggestions welcome! Please also inform me when I messed up the math/the ratings changed, that’s bound to happen sooner or later.

The End & After - No Cis-Male Authors Allowed ☣
If you ask someone what apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction they've read, there's a fair chance much of that list will have been written by cis men, because they're the books that get the most promotion in the genre.
My hope is that this list will help someone find a new favourite author! ♡
