I love this list! I immediately thought of ‘The Running Man’ by Stephen King (In a poverty stricken world people are encouraged to join a game show to earn money. Except the games aren’t so fun.)
If this were a quest, I'd already have a badge. Great list!
loooooove your taste in books!!
It's banger after banger today I see
You so sweet! There's a glitch on Android so I can't scroll my shelves, so I'm clearing out all the list ideas I had been stewing on haha
I have the same glitch, i reported the bug!!
Me three 🫠 please none of us deserve this
Me fourth 😭 I swear I used to be able to scroll shelves, what happened
Update your apps! I just got the email that the bug was fixed🫶
Omg its fixed thank you for the tip 🥰
This is a cool list! For another suggestion, you may like Market Forces-- it's a near-future sci-fi about corporate executives that work in the Conflict Investment industry and buy stakes in coups and other armed conflicts while settling all promotion disputes with road rage. It was a tough read but very well done.
Omg, adding to the list and my own TBR!!! Thank you!!
