I just finished Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. It was not what I was expecting and I didn’t really enjoy it. I thought the Octopus would have been more than just a plot device, the book was very boring and predictable.

Currently re-reading the Hunger Games trilogy. I read it when it first came out and it was the first real post apocalyptic dystopian fiction I was introduced to and really enjoyed it but I couldn’t make it through the movies.
