This was such a good book!
It is a typical zombie book, outbreak turns into zombies, turns into survival. But it was still a page turner. And as expected the humans are often worse than the monsters in an apocalypse 🙄

Started this one for #FoodAndLit #Samoa today.
I am really enjoying it so far. A pandemic, some kind of lab experiment, a zombie outbreak on an island… perfect for October!

More food from The Adventures of Vela, which I finished - at last! - the other day 😁
Honestly, it was a bit of a slog in places, but I am happy I read it to the end because it really was a window into another culture.
Bonito in coconut cream, yam (I thinks is is going to be proper yam, and not sweet potato), and papaya sounds delicious!

I came across this author the other day when reading about her uncle, the famous Samoan writer Albert Wendt, & I thought some people might be interested in the tagged book (which I haven't read), described as “the first Zombie apocalypse story set in Samoa“.

ETA: I don't know the author: I just thought the book checked a few boxes for F&L & Halloween reads

I read this for #FoodandLit #Samoa @texreader @catsandbooks

It's a novelization of Robert Lewis Stevenson's life. I didn't really get a feel of Samoa from it, but I did enjoy the relationship between RLS and Fanny. They both were ill at certain times in their lives and the ways they took care of each other were touching.

Anyone read any really good Samoa books?
