Happy Friday! Such a happy relief of a day 🎃 . This weekend I’m reading a dystopian SciFy story called Trash Lands. I loved the first book by Alison Stein, so taking on her next book even with my overfull schedule was just something I had to do. . Book blurb: A few generations from now, the coastlines of the continent have been redrawn by floods and tides. Global powers have agreed to not produce any new plastics, and what is left has become valuable: garbage is currency. . In the region-wide junkyard that Appalachia has become, Coral is a “plucker,” pulling plastic from the rivers and woods. She’s stuck in Trashlands, a dump named for the strip club at its edge, where the local women dance for an endless loop of strangers and the club's violent owner rules as unofficial mayor. . Amid the polluted landscape, Coral works desperately to save up enough to rescue her child from the recycling factories, where he is forced to work. In her stolen free hours, she does something that seems impossible in this place: Coral makes art. . When a reporter from a struggling city on the coast arrives in Trashlands, Coral is presented with an opportunity to change her life. But is it possible to choose a future for herself? . Told in shifting perspectives, Trashlands is a beautifully drawn and wildly imaginative tale of a parent's journey, a story of community and humanity in a changed world. . What are you going to do this weekend? . The weather will be turning cooler this weekend , so it’s time to bring in the fruit trees. I’ve also noticed that the 2nd story deck they are on has reached the point of needing to be replaced. When your cat starts bringing in pieces of the deck that is a sure indicator. . . . . #allthebooksoct21 #booksandpumpkins #currentlyreading #currentread #weekend #weekendvibes #netgalley #netgalleyreads #trashlands #alisonstein #scifi #dystopian #scify #sciencefictionbooks #sciencefiction #bookblogger #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookbloggerlife #bookstagram #bookdragon #book #bookrecommendations #booklover #bookcoverphotography #bookstacommunity #booknerd #bookaddict #bibliophile #bibliophilelife #readmorebooks (at Lake Davidson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDKOMErqqi/?utm_medium=tumblr
