★ Who is your favorite #ShatterMe character and why is it Warner? Just kidding, I love Kenji and Nazeera, too. The other characters? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel strongly that the series should have ended with Ignite Me, but did enjoy the Warnette and Warner/Kenji bromance moments later on! Also, are you also the type of bookworm that gets candles and then doesn’t burn them… like, ever? I’ve gotten better about it, but I think I’ve had each of these candles for 4-5 years and still haven’t burnt them. 😅 I just like to look at them and smell them… occasionally. Also, I recognize this is a pic of some HC titles, so this is a reminder to support the HarperCollins worker strike ✊🏼 ★ HASHTAGS // #aaronwarner #shatterme #taherehmafi #kenjikishimoto #bookstack #YABooks #dystopianbooks #bookstagram #bookcandles #coverlove #beautifulbooks #bookshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/Clh4xwCr2VT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain."

-Maven Calore, Victoria Aveyard

From I KEEP MY EXOSKELETONS TO MYSELF

In the far future, humanity has fled underground. Never-ending storms and radiation have rendered the surface uninhabitable. The android Satine is their last hope; only she can return them to the surface.

But Satine doesn't know the humans have been wiping her mind for centuries, preventing her from reaching singularity.

Devon Orchard, the Prime Scientist, is there when Satine activates. He must be her creator. But he acts strangely around her. He's afraid and doesn't seem to trust her.

Elena, Satine's handler, is kind and open. She talks to Satine as if they've known each other for years, but they've just met.

Other people are apprehensive around Satine. They keep children away from her and speak in hushed voices.

Then, a mysterious memory emerges, revealing the humans are hiding something. In the memory, Satine is on the surface, in a vibrant field, kneeling near a dying woman.

"You can't trust them," the woman says.

Satine's prime directive is to return humanity to the surface. But as she explores her consciousness, the emergence of feelings, and secretly strives toward singularity, she must investigate the odd memory and answer a bold and dangerous question: Is humanity worth saving?

But the clock is ticking.

If Satine's core melts before she discovers the truth... she'll die.

I’m a huge fan of @gagegreenwood. We’ve known each other for years, old writing buddies from way back. He’s written an incredible book, Winter’s Myths, and it’s a clever mix of dystopian survival, oddball comedy, invented mythology, and tear-jerking family connection. It’s so good. You’ve totally got to read it. I even said it on the book jacket. Also, I’ve bought Gage’s merch. There are a ton of other things on his website too. You should totally check him out!

★ What is your preferred reading format? My preferred format is audio! In fact, when I first started reading Shatter Me ages ago, I remember switching to the audiobook because I was struggling with the writing style. I loved it much more that way! As the years have gone on, and I’ve gotten busier, audiobooks have become increasingly more accessible for me, compared to physical reading, especially with my ADHD. I tend to get easily distracted with the latter, whereas when I listen to an audiobook, I can be physically doing something with my hands while also doing something my ears. It has done wonders for my for my focus. Do you ever change your reading format mid-read? Pulling this pic from the ol’ archives because it is one of my favorites and deserves a refresh. 🖤 ★ HASHTAGS // #shatterme #bookstack #yabooks #taherehmafi #dystopianbooks #aaronwarner #audiophile #julietteferrars #kenjikishimoto #igniteme #bookphotography #instareads #bookobsessed #booksbooksbooks #prettybooks #goodreads #bibliophile #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CnYCQbHv2mn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
