Uhm 😐
Boring alert 🚨

Who the Fffff smokes 💨 butter 🧈 flavored vapes?

What do humans want?
How about stability without unexpected surprises?

“Knives Out meets Bridgerton” says the blurb…
Sureeeee (English teacher seriously eye rolls)

A future dystopia where society has gone to shit and the president is a proud illiterate?

Welp 🫣 another one that won’t live in my classroom library.

Karma is a bitch, Alférez Antonio 💥

Welp 🤷‍♂️ looks like this will be staying in my personal library and not at school 😅
Otherwise, very gritty - comparable to The Hunger Games, Battle Royale, The Running Man, and that Pam Greer classic “Women in Cages” (for the younguns out there).

Reading… “It helps you live lives beyond the one you are inside it turns our single-room mental shack into a mansion.”

“I am not prone too far-fetched nonsense. Our human understanding of the world is incredibly limited, and that there is a bias not to believe things that don’t fit our worldview. What I am saying is that sometimes we can’t accept the truth that is right in front of our eyes. And that sometimes the mad people of one era become the sages of the next.”

It’s time for Mr. Haig’s 🆕 📖
After King and Shakespeare, I truly enjoy Mr. Haig’s work.

This is good 👍
The satire is well executed and as soon as you scape the surface you’ll realize that this goes beyond the premise of the sun exploding and the apocalypse is neigh!
HEY, LISTEN! (Cue Navi’s voice from Ocarina of Time)
Think… WWII.

Princess Donut 🐈 , meet Cabbage 🐈‍⬛

I was convinced this was a five-star book from the start. The moral and philosophical back-and-forth between man and ai in act two was crazy good!

This is a short novel, so I taking it very slow.
The philosophical and ethical aspects in this dystopian story are slappin’ hard!
That’s how the kids say it these days, right? 🤔

I don’t have the book, but I want to “read” this now! So, audio it is.

I already know how it ends - I spoiled myself 🤷‍♂️
But after one chapter, I am hooked!
The mix of philosophy, ethics, and dystopian ideas has so far made for an excellent reading.

Aja!
Now I get why our magnanimous world leader has a obsessed fixation on Greenland…
There be Kaiju there!

Plot twist!
The murderer isn’t the murderer…
Whoop - di - doo 🙄

This is not what I was expecting 🤔

Wait… 🤔
This book is “fiction”?
Too good, I say… too good 👍

Fun times ahead 😅

To say that Skye has been around the block a few times is an understatement 🤯

After reading Anthony Keidis’ memoir where he talks about his relationship with Skye, I now want to read her side of that and more.

“Scarface meets Moby Dick”?!?!?!
Uhmmm, ok 🤷‍♂️

You could say that the title refers to ashes - and you would be right!
But at first, I thought it meant human ashes, swing as this takes place during the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia back in the 90’s…
But nope… book pages.
