All the Little Children | 
panNopes. Something was just off with this book from start to finish. The mother is not very believable, and her character‘s transformation just makes it feel like you‘re reading about different people. Is the point of the book that we should realize together with her that her children & not her career is the most important thing in life? I hate moralizing books, especially when they‘re also bad books. Also, the poetic metaphors were SO out of place.
pickInteresting dystopian story that follows two mothers and their children trying to survive after a devastating event takes place.
3.5/5
Starting this one at lunch. Anyone read this yet?
I liked this book up until the ending. I just don't like ambiguous endings. Tell me the complete story.
So I just finished this and let me just say - holy shit. This was such a good book and it made me immediately call my mom.
finally downloaded my August Kindle First book....did anyone else go for this one? #Kindle #KindleFirst
pickA surprisingly decent post-apocalypse story. A few twists kept it interesting, and though Marlene isn't entirely sympathetic she rallies at the end. The plot moves along nicely, but wraps up a little too neatly at the end. Even so, a fun way to spend my day. Not as good as Book of the Unnamed Midwife, but fun.
Reading this book is not helping my travel/conference nerves! I feel like I should be disaster planning just in case!
This month's #kindlefirst pick.
