Preorder?! New Neal Shusterman this December!

My daughter and I were recently discussing our love of the Arc of the Scythe series by Neal Shusterman and discussing how great it would be as a TV series or movie. We started searching online and discovered it IS in the works though reports are mixed - at first it was announced as a movie, then a tv series, and now maybe back to a movie again? Either way, I hope it comes through! This series is one of my favorite YA Fantasy series of all time. It was truly ahead of its time - confronting how AI/Technology and humanity intersect before the insane rise of AI we are currently seeing. As we were searching, we discovered Neal Shusterman is releasing a PREQUEL to the series called Rising Thunder. We immediately preordered it. 😂

Dystopian, Lists!

Looking for books about artificial intelligence, digital obsession, manufactured perfection, and futures that feel a little too close to home?!?! There’s something fascinating about the intersection of femininity, technology, and dystopia, and the idea that technology may know you or predict your life better than yourself!

I’m not sure how a fast-paced, dystopian fantasy read about pirates can still feel cozy, but this one did! Kat is a likable and strong woman with a history of trauma throughout her childhood and young adulthood. Despite (because of?) this, she finds her way and builds a beautiful life filled with found family. I love the depictions of Kat as both a daughter and a mother; her love is fierce and protective. Looking forward to Book #2 and hoping Kat gets some of the revenge she is due.

This list has a bit of a fantasy slant, but I don’t think you have to love that genre to love these books! Check them out and pick one up before Father’s Day!

#1 has to be: THE DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL by Matt Dinnamin series! All the men in my life love this ridiculous series. It’s silly, it’s fun, it’s wildly addicting. There are eight books in the series out currently, with a few more on the way!
