I think I'm probably just sticking to The Handmaid's Tale, it's coming up to busiest time of the year work wise and I'm just either too busy or tired to read as much as I'd like.
I was thinking of reading Article 5, Monument 14 or Partials, since my sister is currently OBSESSED with post-apocalyptic dystopian and those fit her criteria, plus I'd love to read them with her!

Or I thought it was at least, when I read it haha. It was a while ago. Partials too, but I think I find it a little generic now. Or drawn out. But both are good :)
I read Across the Universe by Beth Revis for this month. It was... Different. The plot had some interesting aspects to it regarding being stuck on a colony spaceship and the dystopian theme; some of it reminded me of Snowpiercer (which is a graphic novel and a movie with Chris Evans and I recommend both). However, there were some aspects of this book that were either too simplistic or too cliche.
This weekend I finished reading Ready Player One, and have to say it was pretty awesome! If someone's looking for something else to read this month, and is a fan of videogames and everything related to the '80s, go ahead and pick it up :)

I think I'll like it.

Happy New Year everyone!
Happy New Year everyone :)I finished The Handmaid's Tale, I don't know if 'enjoy' is exactly the word I'd use but it is very good.
