A little New York book stack because Severance is giving me all the feels for this city ?? _____________________ “To live in a city is to live the life that it was built for, to adapt to its schedule and rhythms, to move within the transit layout made for you during the morning and evening rush, winding through the crowds of fellow commuters. To live in a city is to consume its offerings. To eat at its restaurants. To drink at its bars. To shop at its stores. To pay its sales taxes. To give a dollar to its homeless. To live in a city is to take part in and to propagate its impossible systems. To wake up. To go to work in the morning. It is also to take pleasure in those systems because, otherwise, who could repeat the same routines, year in, year out?” _____________________ #newyorkcity #newtobookstagram #bookish #booklover #nycreads #newyorkreads #greatgatsby #loveatfirstlike #thelightwelost #booksbooksbooks
I've made the (potentially reckless) decision to read this one next ? ◊ Remember when I said I would read Severance 2 months ago? And remember that ambitious little TBR post with books I meant to get to in April (of which I've read only one)? You can't trust a thing I say when I'm talking about books I'm gonna read "soon" lol sorry ◊ THIS ONE THOUGH I'm only 80 pages in & very obsessed. It is indeed about the End Times, & the gradual, slow descent into the end of the world, & the reason the world has ended is a spore (very important distinction from a virus, tyvm) that has infected almost everyone in the world ? early symptoms include: headaches, shortness of breath, fatigue" ... why am I doing this to myself I am not sure but wow this book is good so far. • • • • • #books #bookstagram #bookish #igreads #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #bookrec #currentlyreading #instaread #happyreading #booksofig #booknerd #bookblog #lingma #dystopianfiction #dystopia #endtimes

all cozied up with Severance ✨ What has been a comfort read for you during this time? • I’m finding comfort in reading about an apocalypse. I’m loving the backstory of Candace living in NYC before the fever hits. NORMAL PEOPLE was another comfort read for me. I love the writing in both of these novels and am finding myself completely absorbed in the worlds ?
Are there any new books you are looking forward to reading this summer? The prequel for the Hunger Games come out today, I’m sure I will end up reading it, but I don’t feel like I need to rush. I am planning on reading Sex and Vanity by Kevin Kwan and The Heir Affair, the long awaited sequel to The Royal We! Apparently I’m looking for some dishy drama in my summer reads!

Ling Ma’s “Severance” was fantastic and deserves the praise it received. I couldn’t put it down, and I was hungry for more as I read the last page. It’s a gripping look at millennial life, global capitalism, and the dangers that arise as humans fall victim to their own trappings (and failures) of success, veneration, and family values. As someone who lives in NYC, it’s freakishly familiar to the early days of the current pandemic and the what-ifs scenarios about our infrastructure that have played on repeat in my head. I had worried that the pop-culture references to the mid-aughts would make this book seem dated, but they played well into the overall themes of the book. #bookstagram #booklover #bookrecommendations #bookreview #bookreviewer #lingma
Love me a good post apocalyptic novel, so I had to pick this one up, but I’ve yet to start it ? It’s also set in New York, which is always a cool setting ? What’s your favorite post apocalyptic novel? - - - #lingma #book #books #bookish #bookworm #bookaholic #bookobsessed #bookcommunity #bookart #reading #instabook #literature #booklover #bookphotography #fiction
SEVERANCE; Ling Ma Soooo....post apocalyptic / dystopian / end of the world books are seriously some of my favorites! I don’t know why. I’m dark and twisty on the inside. Maybe it’s because I work in a hospital and see all kinds of crazy stuff daily, or maybe it’s the wilderness first responder in me... I don’t know, but I always find so much strength in the stories of survivors at the end of the world, and they’re oddly relatable for me. Especially right now with COVID19, the themes in this book are so eerily spot on! Like whoa! Is this real life?! This book was so good, and everything I love in a dystopian and then some! + Candace Chen is a millennial working in publishing in NYC who is falling out of love with the city, and feels uninspired by her job. Then suddenly the mysterious Shen Fever hits and drives its victims into a brain dead repetition of daily living activities (like taking selfies, or setting the table). She escapes the city and meets up with an unlikely group led by a cultish leader. This story runs 3 timelines parallel to each other seamlessly. The author gives a lot of background on the protagonist’s family upbringing, her life in NYC before Shen Fever, and her new found falling in with the group of survivors after Shen Fever. This book is full of distain, dark humor, hopeless relationships, and commentary on our capitalist condition. I loved the social and political themes weaved in and out of the pages. If you’re feeling up for a dystopian during these crazy times, make this your pick! Loved it! + TW: xenophobia, & sexism #lingma #postapocalypse #APIheritagemonth #celebrasian #naturemamareads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #igreads #allthebooks #bibliophile #bookworm #bookish #igreads #latinxbookstagramtour #latinxbookstagram #latinxreadtoo #browngirlsread #diversifybookstagram
Starting Severance tonight! I have been so looking forward to reading this one since I found out about it. An anti-capitalist, apocalyptic novel; nothing sounds better right now. ✨

I didn’t get much reading done this month because life and a reading slump got in the way. But I did finish Severance by Ling Ma. It made me even more anxious about the current state of things, but also offered some comfort. Check out my blog post about it.

⭐ SEVERANCE REVIEW ⭐ ◊ OH MY, I loved this book so much. I was a little nervous to read Severance bc it's about a widespread illness that wipes out most of the population & drastically changes life as the characters know it. Seems like a plot that could hit a little too close to home BUT I felt like it was different enough from our current situation to (mostly) not fill me with dread, plus there was excellently-done satire that shifted the focus from the fever. ◊ Before Shen Fever hits, the main character, Candace, works in a book production company that outsources print jobs to China. She ends up as one of the last remaining "unfevered" in New York City & continues trying to do her job amidst the literal end of the world. I think it's also important to note how the fever impacts the infected: it begins with general cold symptoms, like headaches, shortness of breath, fatigue (?), but everything eventually worsens until the fevered lose consciousness. They continue going about their routines, however, with a total lack of awareness. So the fevered will continue acting out their lives in this bleak cycle indefinitely. The parallels between the fevered & Candace continuing to go to work at a job she's never been passionate about (and honestly, the similarities to everyone in the corprorate world) offered a fascinating take on capitalism & "hustle" culture ◊ This isn't a great review bc I'm wrapped up in the details of what made this novel so good. The book jumps back & forth through time, so there are plenty of scenes from Candace's childhood, details about her parents, when she first arrives in NYC & started her job, her long-term boyfriend & his anti-corporate, opt-out mentality. The book also follows her as she is forced to leave NYC once & for all, & joins up with a small, roaming group intent on surviving. ◊ IT WAS SO GOOD. Ma packs such a punch in less than 300 pages. If you're anxious about COVID, maybe hold off for a bit, but everyone should read this one eventually!! • • • • • #books #bookstagram #bookish #igreads #igbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #bookrec #instaread #bookreview #booksofig #booknerd #bookblog #lingma #dystopianfiction #dystopia
