Elle’s 📚 shelf @ellejosephine.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Fable for the end of the world may be my favorite Ava Reid book yet. This hunger games-like world was a great vehicle for exploring capitalism, corporate greed, and the dangers of running a government like a business. When paired with Reid’s prose, it was a fantastic book all around #booksky #books 040

It’s dual pov and follows both the mom and daughter. It was a fascinating read and an important topic. #booksky 041
