I can’t believe we’ve had 8 book club meet ups 🫨 the fact that everyone keeps coming month after month means so much to me!

We had a wonderful (but slightly too hot 🥵) book club talking about July’s BOTM, VOX by Christina Dalcher, the dystopian novel that honed in on equality, government control, and power.

Our group rated this an average a 3.8/5 🌟

Looking forward to seeing what we pick for this month’s BOTM theme… (literary fiction 🤭)

What I thought of our July book of the month: VOX by Christina Dalcher 📖

“The average person speaks 16,000 words per day. But what if women were limited to just 100?”

Let me just start by saying I LOVE The Handmaid’s Tale, and although this very much had inklings of that universe, I don’t think it matched my expectations, but still a 3 star read for me.

I really enjoyed the way this book took me out of my comfort zone and made me question things, such as ‘What would I do if this happened to me?’

However, I found the book very science-y towards the end, and a bit rushed? At this point I felt so disconnected from the main characters, and really disliked Jean and her actions (book club members we will discuss tomorrow 🤫)

On Friday I managed to swing by Ludlow Library for their book clear out / sale and I’m SO glad I did because I came home with 9 new books 🥹

Just started This Nowhere Place by Natasha Bell as my fiancé chose this as my next read!

Has anyone read any of these?

First was obviously The Housemaid (whose wasn’t?!), but Ward D is the absolute best!! Such a twisty book, written as one day total makes it so fast paced and I ate this book upppp 🫨
