What in the child abuse hell hole is this?

I‘ve started reading this book in hopes to get out of a reading slump, as it seemed funny and engaging to read: and I was not let down! It has been a while since I’ve been able to read 50 pages in one sitting (don’t judge me, it’s been a bad slump 😭, but I was quite proud about myself to have been able to get my first 50 pages in again and been in love with the way Backman tells this story. It is relatable, funny and thought provoking in a subtle way. I can’t wait to continue and do hope that I can keep up with these small increments of reading and getting out of my slump.

Just finished TBOSAS 3 days ago and now I’m ready for this!

I really enjoyed reading Frankenstein! It was a breath of fresh air with all the contemporary books I've been reading lately.

but one thing I can't get out of my head. If it was his first time creating a life and a creature, why would you go for an 8 foot tall one? Why not create a smaller one, so it's easier to trap it if it's not what you wanted it to be? :D

Also, I love how Mary Shelley was like: "I know exactly how to make life, but I ain't gonna tell you, so you can't create another one" :D

I'm of the opinion that reading is political.

This entire book series and its representation of society are a true representation of that. What's happening in this book in particular is currently very relevant because what the Capitol and president Snow (and Coin) were doing, especially to innocent children, is exactly what's happening in Palestine (and other countries) because of Israhell (and the countries that enable it) - it's so inhumane, sickening and enraging.

Free Palestine - from the river to the sea 🇵🇸🍉

frankie should have left a note or go meet him before going to England…like his ass running away like this is a recipe for disaster…we have seen it before…
