Your reflections about Thunderhead is precisely the reason why I am not reading the Scythe series yet, although I have both books on my shelves - waiting for the third book to come out, and I shall then binge read. :) Really looking forward to it.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-32794818408778815842018-05-21T22:23:58.794-06:002018-05-21T22:23:58.794-06:00I never ready Scythe.

That is a series I will re-read (maybe just the first two before I read book 3) as there is so much to think about.<br />The Key to Everything looks very interesting, and I appreciated your comment about the stereotyping of the workers. I find with that type of subject material, that this is a bit of a trap but if the rest of the book is great I can look past it.<br />I am going to add it, and We Are Brothers. We Are Brothers sounds just like a poem I used to use when I taught at middle school. That was so long ago I can't even remember the title but I will have to dig that up as well.

I've been looking forward to diving into the series for a while. Same for The Wild Robot, which I've been meaning to read and haven't, yet. Now I have both "first books" checked out and just waiting to be weaved into some good reading time. I hope you enjoy Turtles All the Way Down, too!
