4.5 starsI may have understood somethings before it was time (don’t go see my guesses in the book updates if you don’t want spoilers) and it felt a little slow at times (maybe because there were so many stories that at the beginning didn’t interlace at all).However, this is all minor in comparison w...
Station Eleven is a book that meanders back and forth through time, providing clues to how each character is linked to the others in the post-apocalyptic world after the rapid and devastating spread of the Georgia Flu. The connections are hinted at and foreshadowed long before many of them are expli...
I can see why some would really love this book. It’s well written in terms of the prose and it is one of those books that has Things to Say. I could not love it, though. This is a post-apocalyptic story that spends the majority of its time looking back to its characters’ lives and the world as it wa...
Fun fact: Nearly every time I read a book involving a pandemic wiping out 99% of humanity, it coincides with me catching a cold. My immune system is not only totally sucky, it’s also highly suggestible. Apparently. I was hoping to love this more than I did. Literary doomsday novels are possibly my...
Without music, life would be a mistakeOne of my favorite bookstores in the world is Provincetown Books, a tiny space in the center of town, right next to Adams Pharmacy.

Well having a week off has allowed me the time I wouldn't usually have to get through this one. I enjoyed it, it was in parts profound. I enjoyed the focus on the artistic, technological and cultural losses humanity would take in the event of population wipe-out. I think Cormac McCarthy's The Road t...
I abandoned this one an *age* ago, but I'm also ridonkulously busy at the moment. I don't even have time to procrastinate on Booklikes. *weeps* So this one is about a post-viral world where a travelling theatre group perform Shakespeare and ... something. Honestly, I'm not that big on post-viral n...
I hate it when a book is pushed at me as being the best thing since sliced bread, and then I read it and wonder if the people who see it that way have ever read a book before. Seriously. This book is like The Girl on the Train all over again for me. I start to wonder am I insane and not seeing what ...
