So this is a different kind of post-apocalyptic book than I’m used to. I’m not sure I even knew it was post-apocalyptic until I really got into it. Usually that’s a book’s selling point to me, but I really don’t think I knew with this one! I read this book because it was the most reviewed book of CBR7 (or at least one of the top ones). I knew my fellow Pajibans wouldn’t let me down. I really did like it a lot. Station Eleven […]
My tapeworm tells me what to do
FYI – doing a search for “Parasite” on Amazon brings up some really weird choices: and Am I not properly cleansing myself of intestinal worms? It freaked me out a little bit.

I was so excited when I saw they had this book. I […]
There was a missing girl ten years ago…
I was at least 3/4 of the way through this book before I found out what “the short drop” was.

Anyway, […]

This story is about a military outpost in post-apocalyptic England. You don’t really get all the details right away, so I won’t ruin it. I can say that it’s a “zombie” story, but I put zombie in quotes because it’s not your regular zombie story. I’m listening to this audiobook in my car, and I’ve never wanted to drive places more than now! I can’t stop listening. I’ve ended up parked outside my house just finishing listening to a chapter multiple times. I’m keeping notes […]
