Welcome to Litsy!

January #WrapUp —-> 😮Cannot believe I‘m on track with my reading, especially since I‘ve been getting several projects done this month too.

🧟‍♂️Favorite Book: Rise by Mira Grant
🎧Three audiobooks
📱Two ebooks
📘One print book

Felt cozy being back in Grant‘s zombie world. Favorite stories focused on fleshing out details of the origins of Kellis-Amberlee and backstories for minor characters.

“Coming to You Live” is the last novella in this collection, and the second new novella in the Newsflesh world. It‘s Georgia and Shaun in 🇨🇦🌲 A tidy read to appease people who asked what happened. Definitely feels like Grant wrote it to tie up this series😮‍💨

“All the Pretty Little Horses” features the Masons three years after the Rising. While the world building details like how the government cleaned up cities, formed orphanages, and basically got back to the business of structure were all interesting to me, I still didn‘t care for the Masons. This quote almost makes me want to like Michael, but no. They adopted children for the publicity and traffic to their site, their new world order of news🤮

I so enjoy reading about Dr. Abbey, and not just because she‘s a dog lover. 🤞🏼I wish Mira Grant would write a trilogy with Dr. Abbey as the MC.

🔬Another novella featuring a minor character from the Newsflesh trilogy. I remember really liking “mad scientist” Dr. Shannon Abbey. Her attitude. Her outlook on the post-Rising world. This story should be a fun ride.

Zombie outbreak in a post-apocalyptic Seattle elementary school that also serves as the backstory for a side character in one of the novels of the Newsflesh series. While this particular story started slowly, it ramped up and made me want to reread the original trilogy, mainly because I don‘t have a clear memory of the minor character of Foxy.

🇦🇺 Forgot how much I liked this After the End Times adventure to Australia‘s rabbit-proof fence 🧟🦘

In the aftermath of the zombie rising, airline passengers are locked into their seats. Deplaning involves the flight attendants unlocking passengers row by row. Given some of the atrocious behavior in the last year or so, maybe airlines should adopt this policy now…🤔
