Following my heart, one book at a time...
The Last Stars in the Sky (Lost Lake Book 1) <— This one gave me the ultimate blurb jolt, and I one-clicked it so hard!!! I had my hopes set on a certain outcome by what the blurb hinted at, and it delivered!!
Maryse: I JUST ONE-CLICKED THIS ONE ’cause it sounds incredible!! And it’s SUPER-BARGAIN priced right now. YAY ME!!!
“...just eight hours after I tucked my daughters into bed, feeling so hopeful, the world as I knew it—as anyone knew it—was gone for good…”
Jan needs our book help! Oooooh this one sounds ominous and exactly what I want to read. Gives me chills!!!
Ohh I hope we guess it!! 😀
She asks:
Hi!
I need your readers help! I read the first few pages of a book and thought I wish listed it.
A couple is on vacation. All of a sudden the sun goes out! He’s confused and his girlfriend is complaining that her phone service is out.
It’s from his point of view. The start is anyway.
I hope your readers can help.
MichelleT: Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam
Here I was, silently perusing my Facebook feed when I came upon a book recommendation request, and THIS one showed up. There was shock and awe right after and a mini-discussion of sorts about it (’cause it’s ummm…*ahem* a cannibalism one). So I HAD to have it. Yep. I paid full price, and it’s not that long of a book.
Maryse: I’m reading one that I saw on my Facebook feed, in the comments of a post about book recommendations.
Haley thought this one sounded interesting, but she forgot the title.
Theme/trope-wise (I love it!! Post apocalyptic or dystopian). It almost sounds like The Handmaid’s Tale or even a book I just one-clicked “Vox” that I haven’t read yet (where women are only allowed to say a limited number of words a day). Eeeeep!
Or even Folsom (The End of Men Book 1 by Tarryn Fisher and Willow Aster (though that one, it’s the women that have survived and taken over… and the men that are scarce). P.S. Here’s my my review.
Sue needs our book help! This one sounds post apocalyptic or the potential to become that, and I LOVE THOSE!! Especially when they stay in the realm of reality (you know… zombie-less). 😉
She asks:
Maryse,
Help! I read a book about six or seven years ago and I can’t remember it. Gah!!
The H/h were college kids (but I don’t remember their relation to each other.) Something is happening in the world that requires people to take cover and get somewhere safe. The H heads home, because his family has a stockpile of sorts.
