This weeks Top Ten Tuesday topic hosted by Broke and Bookish is Top Ten Graphic Novels or Comics, but I do not really read those so I decided to do my own topic. With all that has been going on I have been thinking a lot about dystopian books and thought I would create a post on the top Dystopian Reads!
♦ The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
−oppressed women
♦ The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
− Crazy Government
♦ Divergent by Veronica Roth
−Fractured Society
♦ A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
− Genetically Engineered “Perfect” World
♦ Proxy by Alex London
− Rich control the poor and use as “Whipping Boys”
♦ Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
− Harsh Military Rule
What are some of your favorite Dystopian Reads?

I love your picks! I’d probably throw George Orwell’s 1984 in there as well.
I love dystopian reads. I really enjoyed Divergent and The Hunger Games.
I love that Divergent cover.
My TTT.
Love your take on this week’s topic. I wasn’t a fan of The Handmaid’s Tale but I’m with you on Shatter Me!
Shatter Me is one of my favorite series!
I did not do a list today for myself, I asked my daughter if she wanted to help and list her favorite books!
I never read a comic book.So The only ones I read were the VA and Percy Jackson graphic novels. But we did something a little different. Allyson added some comics she read on her list.

The Handmaid’s Tale is such an awesome book!! I need to reread it at some point at it has been many years since I’ve read this novel.
Here’s a link to my TTT post for this week:

Hunger Games, Divergent, and Handmaid’s Tale are definitely up there as far as dystopias go. I never finished Brave New World (though I think part of that was because I was being forced to read it in college). I am going to have to try the Shatter Me series too!
Dystopian books are some of my faves! Great list 🙂
I loved The Hunger Games, wasn’t so keen on Divergent.
