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.

Not Only Orwell - Dystopias written by women
Everyone knows George Orwell or Aldous Huxley. Their works are considered to be the staples of dystopia stories.
But are they?
Most of the people know Octavia E. Butler or Margaret Atwood. They showed the feminine side of dystopia. But this subgenre of science fiction have much more to offer.
Yes, you find here all the famous ladies too but I'll do my best to find even more. So I hope the fellow Boundlings will help too💗

So take a walk down memory lane with these nostalgic picks, or find something new that sparks your inner teenager! Please give the podcast a listen, I think they’re a great bookish podcast to support

me when I'm literally katniss
These books defined my childhood and still hold up to this day. Dystopian stories have been so influential in my life and as I get older my perspective continues to shift and the book becomes more and more dynamic. Deeper themes are embedded in books for kids, and these ones sparked deeper reflections for me -- as well as just being fun! A bunch of these aren't typical "dystopian" books and they span across genres but they all evoke the same feeling for me. I will keep updating as I think of more! Also I literally begged my parents for a bow and arrow after I read the Hunger Games lolllll
