pickActual doctor walks reader through the great unknown fictional apocalyptic event: Zombies. Wow! So science is explained on the level of potential infections (of actual body parts!). With concurrent UN documentation, it felt more authentic than your straight up ‘zombie!‘ Because it had science. A+ (my biology grade in Zombiology if taken in high school). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1. 😂🤣 Sitting up during the day. I‘m less likely to fall asleep if I‘m in my library lounge chair. But I can if I‘m sitting for too long. At night I can only read on my side if I‘m using my Kobo.

2. I had a bunch of library holds come in and I‘m bailing on most. More of a wrong book at this time, I think. So I‘m about to start the tagged book🤞🏼
pickI really enjoyed all the questions of humanity this book brought up. What does it mean to be human? Are you any less human if we can't feel all the emotions? Should humanity be able to choose to be happy all the time or not? This book brought up so many questions and points where I feel like I could defend either side. Very well written. I did feel it was a tad too long and too many side characters' POVs. 4.5/5
pickI finally found the motivation to begin my reading journey for the year in this delightfully unexpected little book. The writing style was unique and it truly felt like a relic from another world plagued by a terrible calamity. The themes of disease and the struggle to determine cause and cure are accentuated by the brutal imagery of the zombies being autopsied while still “alive.“
pickAs always, Shusterman asks a very interesting question in his latest YA science fiction story. What if there was a pandemic, one with a mortality rate higher than Covid, caused by a virus that, if you survived, left you feeling content…happy…unburdened by negative emotions, a need for money, a new found wonder for the world… How would you react? Would this be good for the world? Or bad? Really, really interesting story & a lot to think about.
#BookMail from yesterday. Not sure when I‘m going to read this one, but I‘m guessing soonish since Shusterman usually delivers such great YA dystopian badness in the best way.
