The Wolf Road | 
pick4¼⭐ | NARRATION 😍 = Amazing | Narrated by 📣 Amy McFadden
The Wolf Road is a very well-rounded story, one that is not only intellectually stimulating but also has a lot of action. While I would definitely call this Dystopian, and I would even go so far as to call it a dystopian hellscape, the end of the world scenario in this takes a backseat to the running-from-a-serial-killer aspect that‘s going on here.
pick5 💫💫💫💫💫 This was suprising an excellent #Halloween read. It reads like a self defense class for women. 🤣 The writing style is excellent, the suspense perfect. Cat and Mouse chase throughout the story, told from the POV of Elka the girl taken by a serial killer. He took care of her teaching her how to survive. In the end she showed him a thing or two. Elka shows how trauma can be fought and won. #cocoturns50 #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
Tough to put this one down today! A great #DollarTree find earlier this year.
For book club, it‘s my turn to nominate 3 books for polling for next month‘s read. These are my choices . . . Which one would you choose?
pickFull of powerful human insight and descriptive wilderness scenes without being hoitytoity, I fully recommend this book for those who want to delve into darkness, the wild, and simplicity.
pickWow!! I can‘t say enough good things about this book. The story was amazing. The writing was incredible, hard to believe this is her first book. Definitely looking forward to reading more of her work.
5/5
Next up from Mount TBR. Has anyone read this one?
Thank you, thank you @ReadingRover for this awesome package. I‘m in love with everything.
You truly are a sweet, incredible Litten. ❤️
pickIt's remarkable that The Wolf Road is the first novel by Beth Lewis. This is a well-crafted suspense story set in a post-Wold War III North America. Elka , the heroine, is on the run in the wilderness from Trapper, a monster of a man who raised her from age 7. Loved this story.
pickDon‘t you just love Litsy?! This post-apocalyptic novel is so not my thing but it came as one of the 10 free downloads from Bookchoice that (I think) @jhod told us about....
I‘ve never read anything remotely like this , and wouldn‘t have done without all you Littens broadening my horizons, and I absolutely LOVED it!

This book loves to throw out the highs and then IMMEDIATELY slam you down. UGH.
This would be a lot cozier if I wasn't on the train, about to walk home in this mess, and instead sitting at home in bed, in my pajamas. 😭 This really is the perfect weather for this book, though.
pickI had to wait for what felt like an eternity to get this from the library, but the wait was worth it. This is a post apocalyptic thriller which is of course right up my alley and I really enjoyed it! However it did take a little while to get used to the dialect it's written in.
In my new apartment, I finally get to have a table to eat at and read in the morning. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Also, I started this book yesterday and it's FANTASTIC. Also also, today is the last day of my shingles medication and it's almost all cleared up and the pain is basically gone!
Basically, today is starting off really well. 👌🏻
About yesterday...happily dove back into The Wolf Road, #boutofbooks , #socksunday , and had the best puppy cuddles while missing my mommy.
Day 2. MOST ANTICIPATED READ - to finish The Wolf Road and to start Faithful #thegirlwithmay17
pickI really enjoyed this read. Elka was found as a child by Trapper, who teaches her how to hunt, fish, and fend for herself in the wild. Her world gets toppled when she finds out that Trapper is a killer - and now she's on the run from the law and from the man she thought of as a father. #thriller #dystopia #alternateworld
pickPost apocalyptic western. Teenage Ellka was an intriguing character. Great debut novel.
pickI finished the audio version today and it was very, very good! It is post apocalyptic, which is my favorite genre, but that aspect was barely noticeable. It has strong female characters and friendship, with mystery and adventure. It is dark but I'm okay with that. My one complaint is that if I hear the word "what" in place of that, which, who, whose, etc again, I may scream.
pickThis book was pretty intense. Elka grows up in the wild with a man named Trapper who raised her who she later finds out is a murderer. It's a journey across the wilderness with Elka always looking over her shoulder. Elka's character really evolves throughout the book. I really enjoyed it. (This is Zephyr from the Wolf Conservation Center near my house. He's a super cool guy! http://nywolf.org)
This audiobook is so good so far! (I took this picture of my friend Atka. He's the ambassador wolf at the Wolf Conservation Center near my house. He's a fantastic, feisty old man! Here's a link to the site if anyone is interested. http://nywolf.org Right now the wolves need lots of support because of all the changing laws having to do with hunting.)
pickI finished this audiobook and enjoyed it. The terrible grammar was a bit easier to deal with after Penelope showed up and watered it down 😂
I bought this waterproof speaker to listen to books in the shower, and it plays music great but pauses and skips words with audiobooks. Do any of you book nerds have a speaker you like? I'm hoping I don't need to splurge for an expensive one 🤓
pickThis genre-bending post-apocalyptic book is part horror story, part cat-and-mouse thriller, part modern western, and part survival tale. It's a haunting story about a feral young girl reckoning with her inner darkness and coming to terms with her own humanity. Elka is one protagonist I won't soon forget.
pickYES. This book. A gritty, dark tale that takes place in dystopian Canada, where society has resorted to its usual evils. Elka was abandoned by her biological parents & taken in by a wilderness man she calls Trapper when her aunt goes missing. She loves him like a father but then discovers he's been murdering women instead of hunting. Elka journeys further north in search of her parents with the sheriff & Trapper haunting her the whole way. 👇🏼
I'm listening to this audiobook and enjoying the story, but the author's choice to use terrible grammar is distracting and hurts my brain. Did this bother anyone else? I'm not sure if it would be better or worse if I was reading it myself.
Reading a new book over dinner of Thai ginger beef with mushrooms & carrots, leftovers from last night. LOVING this book! It's so gritty and perfect for my mood right now. I'm hooked! 🍲 #bookanddinner
pickI liked this book. I am a fan of dystopian novels. It was a darker read than what I normally read. I don't want to write too much about it and spoil the twist and turns. The ending had a good twist that made me 🤔. I really liked the the narrator's friendship with Penelope and the wolf.
Most of my TBR is in Goodreads, since I almost always get books from the library. It's my way to #savethefloorjoists.
so-soAnnoying at times, implausible at times, but ultimately a satisfying tale.
pickI loved this story so much! Elka was such a fantastically complicated character to follow through the Canadian post-apocalyptic forests. Page-turning, brutal, and thoughtful adventure, suspense novel that really nailed the landing. Another excellent book to start the new year!!
I'm loving this! Many have compared to The Road or True Grit, but I'm getting strong Wizard of Oz vibes.
I'm so excited! I took part earlier this year but found out about this reading challenge too late to prep myself. This time I am already thinking about what books I want to read 😄 so so so excited for January 21-22, 2017 #24in48

Started this today. Not sure what I think yet. Today was a bit 💩 with life so here is a picture of Hey There, Delilah, for you! #catsoflitsy
pickI loved this book more than I thought I would. I want to keep following Elka on her journey. Really satisfying read to me.
The only problem with reading this book is now I want to talk a' like this....
