Fellow TC's, I think I am no longer allowed to vote for readalong books. Every book I recommend I end up hating and every book I openly vote against ends up being a favorite 😂

I was dreading reading this book. It was an intriguing premise but all I heard was how disturbing and difficult it was to get through. That and all the comparisons to 1984, a book I loathe, had me wanting to run in the opposite direction.

I honestly loved it. The descriptions were graphic but nothing felt unnecessary or shock value-y, although this is a common criticism I'm seeing from others. This book is painting a picture of complacency in which people are willing to take part in a disturbing system as long as their normalcy is not interrupted too much. A world where anything the government says is accepted as fact, without question. This book is a glaring look in the mirror for the world today and a wake up call to QUESTION WHAT WE ARE DOING.

I loved the pacing of the book as well. It starts slow and gets faster and faster as the book goes on, mimicking the loss of control Marcos experiences as his world crashes around him. While we're never quite sure what to think of him in part 1, part 2 makes it abundantly clear what kind of person he is.

I want this to be required reading but I fear that the message would go over a certain group of people's heads and they'd be on the ground praising this fictional government for finding another source of meat for these poor people.

I'm still wondering what I was thinking when starting this. But, by all means, I'm going to finish it. But yeah, I'm not used to horror stuff like this, this is absolutely crazy. Every single page is a new lesson on humans' abilities to be nasty as f*ck.

Where’s everyone from!?

Just because I’m nosey 🙃. Where are my PB friends located? I’m from the UK and tend to notice my feed is very quiet in the mornings and was putting it down to different time zones.

Music While Reading? 🎧👀

Does anyone else like to listen to music while they read? And if so what do you like to listen to? Does it vary depending on what you’re reading? Or do you find it too distracting?

Personally, I’m super into music that fits the vibe of the book I’m reading. Like while I read Legends and Lattes I listened to some soft tavern ambience and now I’m reading dark gothic books and I’m listening to that type of vibe, like This Mortal Coil and Slowdive. I’d love music as well as reading so I’m curious to hear what you guys are listening to while you read! 😄

Christmas Books? 🎄🎅

I KNOW ITS EARLY JUST LISTEN!!!! I was working on my Halloween TBR and I find that every year I know exactly what I want to read; horror. Horror and thrillers are like THE go to book for the spooky season. That got me thinking though,,, what is the Christmas season book? The only thing I can think of is those cheesy (some are good i have to admit) Christmas themed nickel paperback books. Other than the directly themed books, what books do you read for the jolly season? (Or what are you planning on reading?)

George Orwell's Animal Farm: The Graphic Novel (Gemini Graphic Novels)

Christina Dumalasova

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them – masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball – starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell's chilling “fairy story” is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption. This powerfully and beautifully drawn graphic novel adaptation is destined to become the classic illustrated edition of this celebrated work.

Has anyone else seen the trailer for People We Meet on Vacation? Watch the trailer here What does everyone think of it? I personally loved it, and I'm now even more excited for the movie. I really think I'm going to have to do a quick reread before the movie comes out in January (so soon!).

The First Witch of Boston

Andrea Catalano

A gripping and intimate novel based on the true story of Margaret Jones, the first woman to be found guilty of witchcraft in seventeenth-century Massachusetts. Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1646. Thomas and Margaret Jones arrive from England to build a life in the New World. Though of differing temperaments, cautious Thomas and fiery Margaret, a healer, are bound by a love that has lasted decades. With a child on the way, their new beginning promises only blessings. But in this austere Puritan community, comely faces hide malicious intent. Wrong moves or words are met with suspicion, and Margaret’s bold and unguarded nature draws scorn. Soon, Margaret is mistrusted as more cunning woman than kind caregiver. And when personal tragedies, religious hysteria, and wariness of the unknown turn most against her, even the devotion Margaret and her husband share is at risk. Inspired by actual diary entries and court records, The First Witch of Boston is at once the riveting story of a woman unjustly accused and a love story set amid the political and social turmoil of both Old and New England. Harrowing, and with a deep understanding of the human heart, history is brilliantly imagined.
