2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize 2021 Shortlisted for the Bookmark Festival Book of the Year 2021 "I wasnt sure there could be a great pandemic novel. Here it is." Ian Rankin My dad taught us to be prepared for whatever was coming. He said we should know the facts about how long we could survive without food, water or fresh air, and to remember that we couldn't live at all without hope. It was better, he said, to be ahead of the game. Better to be ten years too early than one minute too late. Thats why he did what he did, on that morning ... Inspired by her fathers advance planning and her own ingenuity and courage, this is one teenage girls survival guide for navigating life under a new, even more deadly pandemic from the confines of a prepper compound. Will she ride out the collapse of everything she knows, and how can she save her family and sanity?

I'll be thinking about this book for a long time to come. It's so much more than what I thought it would be upon picking it up. Our protagonist is 15/16 and packed full of knowledge about the world due to her dad's conspiracies. Although I tagged this as dystopian it also feels like it could be reality for some already fed up with modern civilization and ready to commune away from all that is known...

MaggieCarr ...This is not a retelling of a modern day Diary of Anne Frank but golly the parallels are there throughout. This is not a light read, but instead quick of pace and makes you question what decisions you'd make in the same scenarios.

"I hope the world will pull itself back from the brink again,...

MaggieCarr but one thing I've learned about humans is we keep making the same mistakes over and over, and that the stakes just get higher and higher.... Don't take the world for granted. Don't waste your life wishing it was better and blaming other people for your own s***. Face up to the worst thing that can happen and prepare for it. Learn how to survive practically everything. Love one another without fear." -pages 353-355 14mo

Thanks to the generosity of Harper Perennial & Bibliolifestyle, I received a copy of 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 by 𝐄𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧. I'm looking forward to reading what is being characterized as a “chilling and darkly comic thriller“ featuring “a reluctant, recalcitrant hero for the ages.“

The book was published on November 15, 2022, so it is available now.
