The April Book List


 

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I wanted to read strictly dystopian novels in the month of April. I managed to read 15 novels this month that fit into that category. Four of these are books I had read previously, with 11 of the novels being new to me.

Being in a small city in Philippines, I'm limited as to the number of printed books available. I suppose, in theory, some can be ordered from Amazon, but this is "iffy", even in the best of times - with covid, these are certainly not the best of times. I'm restricted, therefore, to ebooks which are available online. Again, this is difficult with Amazon as I'm having problems logging into my account. Most of the books on this list are from Project Gutenberg, which explains the age of the novels; no new ebooks available at present.

So, without further ado, the list of dystopian novels read in April, 2021.
