THE BEAR by Andrew Krivak

Image
THE BEAR by Andrew Krivak is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a father and his daughter are the last surviving humans, living in harmony with nature. After her father’s death, the girl is forced to find her way home through the wilderness alone, but is guided by a bear and other creatures who help her survive and connect with the world around her. THE BEAR explores the themes of grief, resilience, and humanity’s relationship to nature. At a little over 200 pages, this was a quick read, but that didn’t make it any less impactful. It made me think a lot about how we deal with grief and loss, as well as the ways in which we commune (or not) with nature. I’m one of those people who loves nature from a distance, so it’s always nice to connect deeply with nature vicariously through someone else. I would recommend this to readers who enjoy literary fiction, speculative fiction, and/or post-apocalyptic fiction. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

Book Haul #1

Image
I took the day off from work today so I can have a long(er) weekend. I went book shopping in a physical bookstore, which I haven’t done in a while. I wanted to get the second book in the   Alex Stern   duology by Leigh Bardugo and the first two books in Tracy Deonn’s   Legendborn Cycle   series to reread before the third book comes out in March. Mission accomplished! There were a ton of other books I could have purchased if I’d allowed myself, but I reminded myself that I work in a library five days a week and can read them for free. I definitely don’t need to purchase every book I read, heh.

THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING by Jon McGoran

Image
Jon McGoran’s new thriller is out today, and I recommend it if you’re looking for a wild ride in a cyberpunk setting.   Armand Pierce is a member of the Courier’s Guild, a group that connects their attaché cases to titanium cuffs grafted into the bones of their wrists. The Guild is the only means of delivery since the Cyber Wars took the internet out. Business depends on the Guild’s deliveries, so when one of Pierce’s high stakes deliveries disappears from his attaché case, he has to figure out what the hell is going on before he gets killed…either by his client, or by the Guild. Turns out, Pierce isn’t the only courier whose payload has disappeared and the people with all the money and power are about to take a big hit… At the risk of sounding cliche, THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING is a real page-turner. If I hadn’t used it as my nighttime book, I could have read it in one or two sittings. Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a copy of the book to read and review. Rating: ⭐️⭐...
