I’d imagine that my mind was conjured up by the universe simply to look at itself in gladness and awe.

Not With A Bang by Temi Oh

‘Our father had imagined the end of the world so often that, for a while, he believed that he summoned it…’ The Minton family is in crisis. After losing his job, Marcus begins stockpiling cans, running evacuation drills and digging a doomsday bunker in the back garden. At the same time, his daughters are unravelling in their own ways – Chantale is being haunted by dreams of disaster, and Briar’s obsession with a missing classmate draws her deeper into the seductive world of a UFO cult. Meanwhile, no one is aware of the devastating diagnosis their mother has been desperately trying to keep hidden. Then, on the morning of the eldest daughter’s wedding, an extinction-level event tears the world apart, and the Mintons must fight their way through a devastated city – back to safety, survival, and each other.

Some fascinating new books blur the lines between utopia and dystopia right now. I reviewed five of them for the @washingtonpost!

If you're wondering why we have so many dystopias and so few utopias, this is for you. Paywall-free link: wapo.st/3OEXuxF

I reviewed books by Kiersten White, @temioh, Nick Fuller Googins, SL Huang and @tkingfisher. I really wanted to include the pun, "people ask why there aren't more utopias," but apparently they thought nobody would get that joke!

Do You Dream of Terra-Two? by Temi Oh

It’s impossible to read this and not think about the ongoing climate disaster. And, with that in mind, the book really shines. There’s so much pressure put on the younger generation to solve our current problems, to reach a new world.

There is no Earth B, no Terra-Two. This planet is the one we have. And the journey, the 23 years spent getting to a new world, isn’t what’s important. What’s important is that we take action now, that we don’t give up when it seems impossible, so that in 23 years we still have a planet.

Earth had always been enough for her, and she realized it only when it was gone.

One of my favourite things about half term is the time it gives me to read.

Also to go to work in my socks.
