Book Recommendations for the End of the World
I’m in my “the world is ending but at least I have a good book” era.
As we watch the slow collapse of the United States in real time, I figured I’d share a few of my favorite dystopian books to set the vibe.
i know some people avoid dystopian fiction when the real world starts feeling a little too on the nose, but for me, it’s actually comforting. Yes, things are bleak, but they could be so much worse. 😌✨
