Currently reading. Bird Box vibes for sure. I picked it up from the cover alone, about 100 pages in. Not sure where it's going exactly.

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.
