August TBR--

The goals for my reading this month are to slow down and to read some of the bigger books I’ve got my eye on. That shouldn’t be hard as I’m starting a new job this first week of August. As well, I have three rereads for the month which should be fun. Let’s get into the books:

1. The Passage by Justin Cronin (Kindle)-- This book explores what happens when a top secret government experiment goes horribly wrong. We follow FBI agent Brad Wolgast as he and six-year-old orphan Amy Harper Bellafonte try to survive an unprecedented catastrophe.

2. Lumberjanes Vol. 20: End of Summer by Shannon Watters-- This is the final volume of the Lumberjanes comic series which makes me absolutely devastated. In this series, we follow the girls of the Roanoke cabin at Miss Qiunzilla Thiskwin Penniqiqiul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hard-Core Lady-Types as they face down fantastical beasts and earn merit badges. This series has been up and down for me, but through it all I’ve loved these girls so much.

3. All of Us Villains by Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman-- This one will be a reread for me before the next book in the series comes out at the end of the month. Every Blood Moon the seven families of Ilvernath name a champion to compete in a tournament to the death. Winning provides the family with exclusive control over a secret wellspring of high magick.

4. Tiamat’s Wrath by James S. A. Corey-- Book number 8 in the Expanse series which means two things: one) we’re getting close to the end and two) I’m going to have a real difficult time explaining this series to you. The Expanse explores the universe hundreds of years from now when travel from Earth to Saturn is a simple matter of exchanging credits. But as humans have explored further and further into the cosmos, politics have gotten trickier and trickier. Add into that murder mysteries and alien discoveries and you’ve got the Expanse. God I hope that was vague enough.

5. The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes-- Another reread in anticipation of a new release. In the first book we watch Avery Grambs as she learned that a billionaire in Texas she’s never met has left her his billions in cash, property, and businesses. She must survive a year at Hawthorne House in order to inherit. As long as one of the Hawthorne’s there don’t kill her first. Book two continues to have as many fun riddles and games as the first. Plus a decent amount of character development.

6. Auberon by James S. A. Corey (Kindle)-- The 15th work in The Expanse series (oh my god, really?) and a novella. “Auberon explores a new and alien world with the age-old dangers humanity has carried with it into the stars.” At least according to GoodReads since I have no idea how to discuss anything in The Expanse anymore now that we’re getting closer to the end.

7. Prisoner of Azkaban.

8. Hard Reboot by Django Wexler (Kindle)-- I will admit to being drawn to this novella based on two things: one) that cover though, and two) giant mech arena battles. What more do you need? Oh, you need a synopsis? Okay. Kas is a junior researcher on a fact-finding mission to old Earth when a con-artist tricks her into wagering a large sum of money on the outcome of a manned robot arena battle. She quickly becomes drawn into the seedy underworld of old Earth politics and state-sponsored battle-droid prizefights.

Alongside the new release of The Last of Us Part ii, here are some great Apocalyptic reads similar to the survival game’s story line.

The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey

Melanie is a very special girl. Dr. Caldwell calls her "our little genius." Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant Parks keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.

Melanie loves school. She loves learning about spelling and sums and the world outside the classroom and the children's cells. She tells her favorite teacher all the things she'll do when she grows up. Melanie doesn't know why this makes Miss Justineau look sad.

The Reapers are the Angels by Alden Bell

Zombies have infested a fallen America. A young girl named Temple is on the run. Haunted by her past and pursued by a killer, Temple is surrounded by death and danger, hoping to be set free.

For twenty-five years, civilization has survived in meager enclaves, guarded against a plague of the dead. Temple wanders this blighted landscape, keeping to herself - and keeping her demons inside. She can't remember a time before the zombies, but she does remember an old man who took her in and the younger brother she cared for until the tragedy that set her on a personal journey toward redemption. Moving back and forth between the insulated remnants of society and the brutal frontier beyond, Temple must decide where ultimately to make a home and find the salvation she seeks.

Feed by Mira Grant

The year was 2014. We had cured cancer. We had beaten the common cold. But in doing so we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop.

The infection spread, virus blocks taking over bodies and minds with one, unstoppable command: FEED. Now, twenty years after the Rising, bloggers Georgia and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives—the dark conspiracy behind the infected. The truth will get out, even if it kills them.

The Passage by Justin Cronin

IT HAPPENED FAST. THIRTY-TWO MINUTES FOR ONE WORLD TO DIE, ANOTHER TO BE BORN.

First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the unspeakable: a night of chaos and carnage gives way to sunrise on a nation, and ultimately a world, forever altered. All that remains for the stunned survivors is the long fight ahead and a future ruled by fear--of darkness, of death, of a fate far worse.

As civilization swiftly crumbles into a primal landscape of predators and prey, two people flee in search of sanctuary. FBI agent Brad Wolgast is a good man haunted by what he's done in the line of duty. Six-year-old orphan Amy Harper Bellafonte is a refugee from the doomed scientific project that has triggered apocalypse. Wolgast is determined to protect her from the horror set loose by her captors, but for Amy, escaping the bloody fallout is only the beginning of a much longer odyssey--spanning miles and decades--toward the time an place where she must finish what should never have begun.

Raising Stony Mayhall by Daryl Gregory

In 1968, after the first zombie outbreak, Wanda Mayhall and her three young daughters discover the body of a teenage mother during a snowstorm. Wrapped in the woman’s arms is a baby, stone-cold, not breathing, and without a pulse. But then his eyes open and look up at Wanda — and he begins to move.

The family hides the child — whom they name Stony — rather than turn him over to authorities that would destroy him. Against all scientific reason, the undead boy begins to grow. For years his adoptive mother and sisters manage to keep his existence a secret — until one terrifying night when Stony is forced to run and he learns that he is not the only living dead boy left in the world.

October 21st: Vampires!

The Passage by Justin Cronin

A slow burn, but so worth the adventure. This book has moments where I literally had to put it down because it was so intense or creepy.

Synopsis:

“First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility unleashes the product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the unspeakable: a night of chaos gives way to sunrise on a nation, and ultimately a world, turned to hell. All that remains is the long fight ahead for the stunned survivors faced with a future ruled by fear–of darkness, of death, of a fate far worse.

As civilization crumbles, two people flee in search of sanctuary. FBI agent Brad Wolgast is a good man haunted by what he’s done in the line of duty. Six-year-old oprhan Amy Harper Bellafonte is a refugee from the doomed scientific project, and Brad is determined to protect her. But, for young Amy, escaping is only the beginning of a much longer odyssey–spanning miles and decades–toward the time and place where she must finish what should never have begun in the first place.”

Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?

Happy reading!
