Feed is a world where you don't have to buy a new smartphone every year because you had a feed implanted in your brain when you were a child that automatically connects to the network and sells you things, tells you things, shows you things: what to buy, what that landmark is, what's cool -- everything except how to live.
Feed is a scary future because it's so alluring. All that knowledge at your fingertips, flying cars, everything so easy, so accessible. But the feed in your brain means if something goes wrong, you can die.
Feed is a romance, a dark comedy, a horror, a potential future -- and an amazing novel.

Aunt Tillie is in trouble again, and there's another FBI agent in town to shadow Landon -- and he's making everyone crazy by accusing each of the Winchester women of murder. This book is laugh out loud hilarious while still managing to be be sweet, charming, and a great mystery.
I love Marcus even more now. He is my favorite.
Welp, I have a new favorite adult author. This book was perfect. I loved Sarina, I loved Eamon, I loved Sarina's ridiculous cat and her insane troupe of delightful friends. I loved the way that Sarina grew, treated her friends well, and was always her own person, no matter what was happening in her love life. This book made me cry and it made me swoon.
Avery is an excellent heroine: troubled, trapped, fiercely brave, strong-willed. She may suffer from insta-love, but I forgive her because by the end of the story I understood why. The characters in this tale are marvelously drawn and unexpected -- a Pacific Islander love interest? Don't mind if I do.
I loved the tension and the drama and the small town struggles. Would highly recommend to fans of the sea, curses, family, and destiny.

Bill Bryson brings his trademark dry humor and studiousness to this study of Shakespeare. He shares the meager facts we know about Shakespeare, and rebuffs the theories that have been floated that have no evidence to back them up (everything from Shakespeare not existing to the unknowable date of his birth to his marital relationship). It's a great book for English majors, Shakespeare fans, and history buffs.
This is the kind of horror where you fall asleep just fine after reading it, but when you wake up in the middle of the night for no reason you find yourself looking around the room for your own doppelganger and a glass of laudanum. It's creepy, thought provoking, and fascinating because it takes two very real authors (Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins) and places them at odds with a mesmerising monster named Drood. It's a long book, and the pontificating and endless descriptions of drug use get a little boring, but overall Simmons does a great job of setting the mood and building a haunting story.
A hilarious and well researched book that made me want to go forth and buy many bottles of rum. American history is divided up into bite size stories, each era defined by a drink. Would recommend to history buffs and drinkers alike.
