#NYT new book preview for Jan ‘25. Excited for this one! #TBR

Not what I was expecting from the description and marketing, but the production quality is great and it‘s addictive as hell.

I liked this. Most of the story takes place in the year following an EMP attack. It‘s how a rural mountain community is able to gather and ration what they have and work as hard as possible to survive impossible conditions. Many don‘t survive and there is a lot of violence. Not the most polished writing, but the story is thought-provoking and engaging. And bleak, especially near the end. It inspired some great conversations with my family.

Work on my yard will have to wait, I just couldn‘t put this down. Arresting and bleak, and much more emotionally intense than I had expected. The Road is, on the surface, a story of survival in the aftermath of an apocalyptic catastrophe, but it‘s also a story about love and the bonds between a father and son. 9/10

$0.99 on kindle today. A colleague told me about this months ago, but I never got around to getting a copy. I fixed that today.

My husband found this manga at a used bookstore, so of course it joined our collection. It's a dark, humorous, and adorable short in Sadako's afterlife (long after The Ring) imagining what would happen if she was summoned in a post-apocalyptic landscape. #manga #apocalypse #horror

I'm in two minds about reading this graphic novel adaptation (I've read the novel), but YOLO

On my hook : Wulf sweater for husband for Xmas.

The English version wasn't in the Litsy database. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is in my top 5 favorite books ever. This graphic novel adaptation captures his work so well. The visuals are dark, the story has been shortened, but the message still remains.

This is my first read finished for #HauntedShelf for team #HexesandCrows. @PuddleJumper @Catsandbooks It also counts for the book cover hunt for #Dark, both with its cover and content.
