Moon of the Turning Leaves | Waubgeshig Rice

Another journey story, this time for a new home, a safe place when the world you knew has ended and doubt is everywhere. I particularly enjoyed Rice‘s descriptions of the Ontario landscape and the way nature had crept back into previously man-made spaces. At risk from roving bands of mercenaries as well as Nature herself, this journey takes a weaving path to safety, and to home. Beautifully written and starkly lovely.

I really enjoy apocolyptic stories and was looking forward to this one. But it just didn‘t meet the mark. I thought that it was a slow read but it did pick up closer to the end. After this entire slow read I was hopeful for a nice wrapped up ending but it just seemed to end. I was like WHAT?!?!

Some call it prepper porn. I'd say that's hyperbolic. What would happen if there was a collapse? This book presents a plausible scenario and outcome. It's entertaining. It also provokes some thinking about what each of us would do. What if the economy collapsed? What would you do? Do you have a plan? Do you think the government is going to save you? Worth the read.

I started out this morning in Timbuktu. By the late afternoon I was in Northern California. But now having bailed on that, I am sitting in lovely weather in my dark backyard wondering where to go next.

I had to bail after 50 pgs. I chose it because It was apocalyptic and set in California, two of my favorite genres. I looked at reviews before I quit and it didn't look like it was ever going to go anywhere.
But this particular cover is beautiful.

1. My whole house is a library. 😂 LibraryThing says I have 18,346 physical books but that‘s a little high since I‘m trying to rehome some (although this count doesn‘t include my husband‘s books, so maybe it‘s not too far wrong).

2. I was pretty much guaranteed to like this one because I loved the first one. This one wasn‘t quite as amazing but still good.

Vol 4 out of 6, but so far there are no publishing dates for the last German volumes. I have a bad feeling about this...

This series is the one that tells me I'm not quite out of the manga genre. It speaks mostly through the artwork and shows us a dystopian world, that isn't quite that dystopian.

In this volume the girls learn about what humans are capable of doing. Like building weapons and destroying whole cities.

1. Yes. I‘ve always been a lover of books and a reader. I don‘t read as fast as I‘d like. With lots of interests, my days also run away from me, and I have to be purposeful with when I read.

2. Griz from the tagged book. May not have had great access to books in that post-apocalyptic world, but Griz read everything they did have or could find.

@TheSpineView And thanks for the tag @Sace

TheSpineView YW! Thanks for playing ❤️📚 3mo
