it is a retelling of George Orwell's 1984 the most famous dystopian book of all time one of the most influential books ever that I think changed the culture anyway for the millions of readers who have been brought up with Orwell's 1984 that's me

Loved

when I first started reading this book I thought it was so monosyllabic the sentences are really Punchy and short and I was so bored honestly I was like I'm I almost dnf this book and then it all made sense in the second half oh it pulled me back and it becomes this really haunting novel about loneliness and aloneness it was spellbinding and captivating it had me in the palm of its hand and I found the second half incredibly intense

Loved

one of my favorite books that I read and actually one of the last books of the year that I read was called after safo and that is a collection of kind of vignettes almost about different women working in Creative Industries who came after the poet safo

I've read a couple of the poems already and they're just so lovely just about that inexplicable bond that we have with our pets with the dogs in our lives and it really captures the essence of that love that we have for our little fluffy companions
