pick(2016) Here's a mostly-excellent collection of apocalyptic and postapocalyptic stories featuring protagonists with disabilities. Standouts for me are Stephanie Gunn's "To take into the air my quiet breath," about sisters with cystic fibrosis who survive a global plague; and John Chu's "Selected afterimages of the fading," about an apocalypse in which inattention causes the world to fade. I also quite liked Janet Edwards's "I will remember you."

#TeamWhoYaGonnaCall One more sleep then the spooktacular fun begins! Keep track of your points (don't forget the word search, and don't forget to time how long you read!!!) Also, keep us all informed with your reading and watching. Each #scarathlon post you make nets you 1 point. Write a review, cross things off your TBR or Bucket List, ask for movie suggestions. But most importantly: Have some frightening fun!
so-soI didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, probably because I watched the show first. It did have some funny moments though, and I found myself laughing out loud. I might give it another shot someday.
As I mentioned in previous post. I was inspired by a random booktuber that YT recommended based on my watch history. First prompt from Benghis Kahn‘s video is Standalone. Tagged book gets the win on this.
I had to buy a second book to replace the Good Omens I lost on a road trip years ago. Original GO I hope you found a good home in South Dakota.
I have never read Pratchett and have only read a couple of Gaiman's books, but I've always wanted to read 'Good Omens.' Now, I have to because I've already watched the first season of the series on Prime, and I don't want to watch the second season without reading it first.
pickLoved this book. It‘s not a new story (big meteor about to crash into earth), but it‘s so well written from several seemingly unrelated points of view. In the end it all comes together beautifully. 👍
pickI liked the basic story. It is a good apocalyptic survival story. Although we never get a real idea of why Ben has survived untouched while everyone else is affected.
I did not like the way Ben's weight was treated by the other characters and also by himself. There is a lot of hateful speech that wasn't really necessary. The story would have been just as interesting without all the insults and fat phobia.
