This is my first time participating, and I still haven't quite decided what I want to read most. I have a few dystopian/post-apocalyptic novels sitting on the shelves, but I need to focus on one or two, since I am also involved in three readalongs this month, plus I have four ARCs I need to read and review. Crazy stuff, but I'm more excited than overwhelmed.
So I urge you to join in the fun and immerse yourself in the fascinating, uncomfortable, prophetic, and cautionary world of dystopian fiction.
That Lenore, she is a peach! And through more dumb luck than anything, I just finished "Delirium", and will contribute my paltry words to her theme later in the month. I just love that zombie chicken as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping I can get my hands on Delirium for this month! My library has it on order and I'm #1 on the hold list, but you never know how long it will take them to get the copies they buy...
ReplyDeleteIt seems like every month these days is dystopian month! :--) But I'm not complaining, I'm really into them!
ReplyDeleteI love Lenore's dystopian months and am going to be excited to see what you are reading to participate. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeleteI just received a new YA dystopia in the mail yesterday. Sounds like just the ticket!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I read this post of yours because earlier today I saw that Lenore was hosting a Dystopian Challenge but didn't think I had the time to fit it in. Had I bothered to read it on her blog, I would know, as I do now from reading your post, that I only have to read one book and review. I was still feeling a little unsure about whether I could do that because I have several ARCS/books review. Then I read what you're reading for the month and not only did I feel better because I'm in good company and what's better than many books to read? Not much! :o) So Thank you! Besides, I've wanted to re-read 1984 for a long time & now I've got a good reason!
