#bookspin and #doublespin for December!
pickA hauntingly claustrophobic read with an unreliable protagonist who has been living alone in a secluded area after a pandemic sweeps the nation, causing eye contact to drive people to into mindless homicidal rages. And then one day, Riley meets a man in the woods - a new neighbour - and things start to unravel or maybe the unraveling simply speeds up?
This was a short and snappy read because one just simply needed to know what was happening!!
I‘m sad to finish this 7-book post-apocalyptic series but I loved seeing the transformation of each character, the formed relationships, their resilience, and the found-family they discovered amongst each other.

pickJones always has something interesting to say and this book is no exception. This is a zombie story but it is also a book about the church and the military vying to be THE authority in a post-apocalyptic zombie-invested world, the military-industrial complex, good and evil, hope and despair and the will to survive even when the possibility seems unlikely. Not my favorite of his books but still a well-written, entertaining read.
I read this underhyped gem early last month & if you plan on participating in #novellanovember I def recommend this one, which clocks in at 176 pages & can be read in one sitting. A pandemic has swept the world: if people make eye contact with one another they become homicidal. Yes, def echoes of Bird Box but I honestly feel like Moraine (& I do love Malerman) pulls off this concept much better, as the reader is (CONT)
Have a long drive to Montreal. Started this audiobook and so far it‘s been good!
This is the best song and video ever. Every October, I put this song on my phone as a ring tone. #HauntsandHexes Zombie @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickThis was a doozie! I‘ve read THE RIVER like three times and the follow ups, so I know Heller (a) is excellently skilled in knowing about, describing, and plopping you firmly into nature/wild settings under suspenseful circumstances and (b) is unafraid of taking your heart and making it pound harder, grow bigger, and then break into a zillion pieces. And yet, I was astounded. At turns gritty, gruesome, and gorgeous. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *watch those TW, tho 😳
Guys!!! The author liked my review! 😍😍😍 My inner fan girl is screaming in glee. 🥰🥰🥰
