All Rights Reserved by Gregory Scott Katsoulis

6th Aug 2018 by Norrie

All Rights Reserved is a story that would work perfectly as an episode of Black Mirror. The premise sounds a bit far fetched, but at the same time you can’t help but wonder if it isn’t something that might just happen one day. I mean, personalized advertising the book mentions often, is already sort of a thing now… All Rights Reserved by Gregory Scott Katsoulis Genres: Dystopia, Young Adult Published: 29th August, 2017 Goodreads | Bookdepository | Amazon UK Series: […]

Monthly Catch Up #5 – May 2018

30th May 2018 by Norrie

May is the month I turn a year older, and I’d love to say wiser too, but truth be told, I’m just probably more of a wiseass than a year before. For a short period I had two cats again, after my neighbour discovered a lost kitty in our communal garden, and as the resident cat lady, it was sort of obvious to everyone that I will be the one taking care of the poor thing. With my amazing investigating […]

Teenagers Save The Day – 16 YA Dystopian Series, Not Only For Teenagers

19th May 2018 by Norrie

When I was a teenager, I dreamed about endless summer holidays, unlimited access to books and being kissed under very specific and romantic circumstances. I never, however, dreamed of saving the world or overthrowing the government. I have to admit though, as crappy as the situation was, our government was far from being totalitarian, so that might play a part in my goals never developing further from average teenage wishes to just be a normal person. I feel like I […]

Monthly Catch Up #4 – April 2018

29th Apr 2018 by Norrie

In the third week of April, summer has arrived to London quite abruptly. On Monday I was still wearing my winter coat, and then Thursday found me almost half naked, getting a tan in the parking lot on our smoke break at work. Anarchy in the UK, pretty much. We are back to shitty weather though, so all is well. So let’s see what happened in April on Reading Under the Blankie, shall we. On account of having three days […]

20 Books To Satisfy Your Cravings for Dystopia

16th Apr 2018 by Norrie

Dystopian fiction, just like any other fiction, is written mainly for entertainment. But because of the subject we also connect with it on a deeper, often thought inspiring level. We see our fears manifest in the stories, a bleak future unfold; foreign but also familiar. Women are told they have no right over their own bodies, groups of people are being demonized and oppressed for no reason, people living in poverty and desperation: these are not only stuff of fiction, […]
