We have read many of the same books. :0) I will be reading The Good Lord Bird next month and I am looking forward to it.
Orleans by Sherri L. Smith is a fantastic dystopian future Sci Fi.
I am going to check that one out Lois! Thinking of the dystopian books I've read this year...
Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1) was the best I read, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
