This was enjoyable! I rooted for both R and Julie the whole time. A quick listen too!

It's the zombie apocalypse, but it's also a poetic allegory of grief, loss, depression, issues of memory, consumerism, probably a few things I missed. Somehow it works.
Passed it on to the Spouse and he loved it so much he already wants to read it again (and he almost never re-reads). Once I return it to the library I'm going to have to buy a copy to keep.

Reggie All you had to say was it‘s the zombie apocalypse….stacked!!! 1w
Leniverse @Reggie Just don't expect your regular zombie apocalypse. This one is narrated by one of the zombies! 1w

Reading the 2024 winner of the Ursula K Le Guin Prize. That's a strong opening!

vivastory Sounds interesting. The first couple of sentences remind me of the opening of Butler's Kindred. 2w
Leniverse @vivastory In style I think it's more Max Porter than Octavia Butler. The narrator is depressed and has stuffed a dead crow into a hollow space excavated from beneath their ribcage. 2w
vivastory Sounds pretty wild. Adding to my tbr 2w

A short book worthy of long praise. Finding a place (safe to some or strong to another), loss, and a great balance of Irish mythology and cryptic disaster (which was a good move because the character matters more). Told by the protagonist, the past and present overlap. The ending was great, as was the journey. Fighting to belong, while fighting loss.

I 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.“

21/100 Book 4 in the Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series. I don't think this was my favorite of the series, but it was still a lot of fun. As usual, Chambeaux has several seemingly unrelated cases, that come together in the end. An opera singing Ogre has his voice stolen, a gang of garden gnomes are on a robbery spree, a wannabe junior mad scientist has been kicked out of his secret lair by his landlord, two weather wizards are fighting ⬇️⬇️

RamsFan1963 it out to see who will be elected to run their Union, and a half-demon named Ah'Chulhu (Gesundheit!!) wants to destroy the world. There are definitely a lot of plates spinning at once, but the ending is very satisfying, with all the cases solved and all the loose ends tied up. #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 1mo

Hart & Mercy are a great example of a #LoveHatePairing in this favorite romantasy book that has a definite You‘ve Got Mail vibe. 💌
