Iceman to Becky to the underground complex benson had to go there to stop what they were doing to the people there. When he got there faces were appearing in the windows and benson realized that there were new students coming to the school. Once they showed up and the door opened benson yelled stop to the person holding the door to not close it.
I absolutely adore all the character quotes Mira Grant puts in her books. They‘re fantastic
“The American political process is not broken. It works exactly as it is intended to, and it will continue to grind good people up and spit them out until such a time as someone figures out how to dismantle the great machine.”
Mira Grant is, as always, fantastic at writing horror that strikes just slightly to close to home. I love it ever so much.
Y‘all I‘m finally going to make some time to read this one, I loved the original trilogy, I tore through the short story collection, and I‘m sure this one won‘t disappoint!
pickZombies, zombies, yay zombies!
I knew I would love this. I loved the original Newsflesh trilogy, and this is just as good.
This takes place at the same time as Feed, but from the point of view of the blogger team hired by one of the main democratic candidates. So the characters know of the Masons, but only from a far.
Grant has a way of mixing a terrifying dystopian world with gritty realistic characters and science, I just can‘t get enough!
I‘m pretty sure all of the Mira Grant books I‘ve read use quotes from characters or important figures from her books to start each chapter. This is from the first chapter of Feedback, and had me chuckling this morning. 🤣🐹
Thank you @Catsandbooks for a wonderful #sffs package! Love the shiny iridescent mug and I can't wait to try the tiramisu tea while snacking on the yummy carmel popcorn and chocolates and reading this series. The bookmarks are so nice too, did you make them? - Great job!
Thanks also to @Avanders for hosting!
Does anyone else wish there were additional options such as listening for audiobooks or to own for those books you just HAVE to have? #asklitsy
I‘ve been reading this on my phone the last few days and not only am I appreciating technology and the #Kindle app, I am legit freaking out at how much I‘m enjoying this book. Honestly, it feels like when I first read the original trilogy just over five years ago — it‘s been long enough since I reread those that a lot of this feels very fresh if vaguely familiar.

If the Rising hadn‘t happened when it did [2014], the police would probably have triggered a civil war... At least zombies were acting on hunger and instinct and blind need, not racism and paranoia and carefully nurtured power trips.

Hey everyone! So I have been working really hard on revamping my blog and making it look a little more pleasing to the eye. I'd like very much if you guys will give me some feedback on it. Constructive criticism is much appreciated 😊

This was my second time through this zombie-filled political tale. It held up pretty well - the news / politics seems a tad naive in today‘s political climate and the repeated mention of Georgia‘s eye condition grated - but it still packs an emotional punch. I‘m looking forward to Book Two. Thanks again @LA_Mead
Sometimes I wanna punch people in the face! I'm sorry, but rant alert!
So, I was in my local bookshop when I overheard this guy complaining to his friends; saying that he hates books where the government is the bad guy and the main characters are all hipsters which is basically all SFF at the moment. He continued by picking up random books (including 2 I love) and declaring them crap. 😠😠😠😠 I've never walked out a bookshop so angry!!
so-soFeedback would have been a pick if it was a standalone book. But since it's part of the Newsflesh series, it's only so-so for me. It was essentially a rehashing of Feed with new characters. I would have enjoyed another book with the Mason siblings and their team.
pickThough I never love this author's Mira Grant books quite as much as her Seanan McGuire ones, the whole Newsflesh series is really well done. Feedback goes back to the zombies-and-a-presidential-campaign premise of Feed, but with a cast of characters who AREN'T the chosen ones, and who are at risk of ending up collateral damage instead. (Also, it has the first non-binary character I've seen in an SF/F novel, and a lesbian protagonist!)
so-soI thought the first three books in the Newsflesh series were clever, original and super fun to read. I usually don't care much for zombie stories, but they were hard to put down. This one didn't quite make it to that level. It felt a little too much like a lesser reboot.
My adorable cat, Serafina Pekkala, is helping me with my reading today.

so-soI wanted this book to be more then it was, I wanted more from this universe and instead got a duplicated storyline with forced characters and a repetitive plot. Still a good read just didn't live up to its predecessors.
I will state that I was impressed by Grants choice to give unique characters with different ethnicities, sexual orientation and gender identification. She gave a voice to groups that are often left silence in fiction.
The character Mat is gender fluid and I love it! I love how Grant took the time to create a character that deserves representation not only in SciFi, but it literature period. It's going to take time for me to get use to 'they' instead of he or she, but I thinking reading it will make it easier for me to remember with my in -flesh friends who request the same pronoun. Mira Grant you rock. Mat; you are a wonderful character.

pickFeedback please folks for my book stickers and bookmark?
Thank you my fellow Litsian 🙏🏼
First where the physical books and here are a few of the ones I have in digital format. Part 1/2 ... #riotgrams #day3 #onewordtitle #bookriot
bailedI really hate to bail because I liked the original Newsflesh trilogy. I may have even liked this book in print, but can't stand narrator Georgia Dolenz any longer. Her take on the main character is good: Irish accent, picks up on personality. But everyone else is horrible. American accent is okay but I can't even tell men from women, and she mispronounces Willamette & Oregon. Plus I'm kind of bored w/ story. Time to move on.
Heck yeah for representation! True love that just happens to be platonic? I'm here for thatt
pickYesterday, while organizing this work in progress bookcase, I finished the newest Mira Grant on audio. While not as good as the original trilogy, I enjoyed how this one worked with the original, but still gave a new story to follow. It gave some more perspective on the events in the original trilogy as well. I thought the audio was good, but not quite as good as the first trilogy, which I listened to on audio earlier this year. Recommended!
so-soI have mixed feelings about this one. If you follow me here or elsewhere, you may know I think the first Newsflesh novel, Feed, is an almost perfect near-future SF book. I was less impressed with the next two books.
Feedback takes place concurrently with Feed, following a different team of bloggers who are working for the Democratic candidate. The setup felt VERY slow, particularly considering the world is so fully fleshed out. A very 'meh' read.
😍 Love love love Mira Grant and the world she creates, and loving FEEDBACK so far! It's so fun to revisit the post-Rising United States from a totally different perspective.
October was an awesome month for reading for me, but my best efforts couldn't stem the incoming tide. My #ReadMyOwnDamnBooks stats continue to slip. On the bright side, I did reach my Goodreads goal this month!

What did you read this month?
I'm from Scotland and I have to say, the US election is terrifying me. So with only a week to go, time to read "Feedback". Cause zombies and politics are a good mix :)
"Feedback" returns to the zombie-filled world of Mira Grant's "Feed" trilogy to tell a story of a different set of bloggers over the same time period, condensed into one book. Her world is so fully thought out that there is clearly more to explore, even after writing several additional novellas. I can't think of another author who considered the impact of rose bushes around zombies. Not my favorite ending, but a good story.
pickLoved re-immersing myself in the Newsflesh world with an Irwin female narrator overflowing with chutzpah. Seeing the Masons from the perspective of competitive bloggers makes me want to re-read Feed, but also has me hoping Mira Grant will write more novels about this world. While one or two bigger plot details seemed too telegraphed, the resolution took me by surprise.
Got this "no pressure" email last night from Goodreads:) Yes, GR...I have not added my latest read. You are correct; I have not updated my status in several books. My challenge is missing books I've read, but I'm still behind and now I'm starting to panic! I'm 44% through Feedback. Reading straight through to the end today! I have snacks, so this is possible!
