Welcome to Litsy!

This had such a different feel to it than Warm Bodies did. I loved that R was still snarky and had some real moments of zombie wisdom, but the story went places I never saw coming (and don‘t feel like it needed).

Anyway, this was my #buddyread for #teamhendrix #scarathlon2021. Also #RoaringWolf (Don‘t Judge) and #wickedathon and #screamathlon

I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as Warm Bodies. As zombie novels go, it was ok. Nothing really new for the genre, unlike WB. It also could have told just as good a story were it half the length - took me 10+ hours to slog through it.

Zombies and coffee. The perfect way to start the day. 🧟‍♀️☕

"I don't have to be a monster to hurt people. I can do it gently, with a single careless breath."

"Perhaps I died years ago, and Hell is a flooded planet of starving children and walking corpses and endless, senseless war."

He didn't come to make friends. He's got fire in his eyes and a sword in his mouth and he came to cut the world in half.

Warm Bodies was the perfect little novel full of hope and new life. What this book, the second in the series, does is dig deeper into the messy world of "what next?" Julie and R's relationship is not going to be perfect, and they can't ignore the way the world is changing around them and affecting them. There is also the struggle of trying to figure out what's actually going on in the world, and trying to figure out where their place in it is.

There Burning World, a book that I absolutely loved, is out in paperback today. If you go to the author's website (www.isaacmarion.com), you can find it for $4 cheaper than anywhere else. #burningworld

There's currently a Thunderclap going around Facebook to support the second book in this series. It's being released in paperback tomorrow (3.6) and if it doesn't sell well, the publishers won't publish the third one he's writing....
So, time to show some love for R. ❤️ I never saw the movie, but the first book was fantastic!
Edit: Just ordered The HC and the novella on Amazon, which got me to $25 for free shipping 😁 (yes, no prime...)

I got a good laugh out of this this morning! I love when authors stand up for themselves.

This book was amazing. I loved Warm Bodies, but this one might be even better. A zombie series that is not without hope, without small amounts of joy, without, dare I say, optimism. I can't wait for the next in the series!

It's almost 5pm. Close enough, right?

"We are a new couple and this is our first house; it's a fixer-upper. A little putty will take care of the bullet holes, but grenade damage is an all-day project, and we haven't even started on the bloodstains."

I'm 10 pages into this book and it's making me snort. I really enjoyed Warm Bodies, and this sequel is already promising.

Can't wait to see where this series goes!

My weekend plans consists of books & coffee and nothing else.

#attractiveauthors Isaac Marion is pretty cute. #junebookbugs @RealLifeReading

This is one of those rare sequels that takes the base of the original ("Warm Bodies" lays the important foundation of understanding R and his condition and progress) and dives into a whole new layer. There's great action, twists, and tension as R remembers more details of his life before. I'm really intrigued to see how this series ends.

Some of the thoughts in this book.. damn! Eye opening and beautifully written ❤️📚 #notyourtypicalzombie

The Burning World by Isaac Marion ❤📚

March was a mixed bag of a month. My Florida vacation ended in early March. I celebrated my birthday and one of my work guys birthdays mid month and spent much of the end of the month in the hospital with another one of my guys. Overall I finished 12 audiobooks, two print novellas and an excellent anthology.

Marion doesn't flip the genre on its head but instead takes on the classic Post Apocalytic road trip using that to examine the priorities of being human. Marions writing fluctuates seemlessky between crisp and breezy, and his dark humor takes center stage. Throughout the novel he pokes fun at his own book and the "Love will conquer all" theme. It doesn't break the zombie genre or even pervert it all that much but Marion tells a damn good story.

Stated this. Very excited. New narrator took a bit getting used to but not bad.

23 ~ The Burning World (The Warm Bodies series~Book 2) by Issac Marian (Kindle edition📱) ~ Started: 25.02.17 ~ Finished: 28.02.17
Rating: 4/5📚

I found 'The Burning World' different from the previous two books and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed finding out more about R's past and also more about Julie. There are also new characters introduced who were interesting and I hope to find out more about them in the next book.

Recommended.

‪Happy to see the name Zane in The Burning World! Great choice! 😆❤

R is back! Someone please make this a film too!

Look what's just arrived 😍📚

I love the Illustrations at the beginning of each chapter. And just like with Warm Bodies....Isaac Marion's writing is absolutely gorgeous.

This just arrived an hour ago, and im getting ready to dive into it. Warm Bodies is one of my favorite books of all time, so I'm a bit nervous about this sequel. In my opinion, WB didn't really NEED a sequel since I thought it had a perfectly wrapped up ending. But...I'm excited to see where Isaac goes with this. #currentlyreading

I have waited so long for this book and now it's finally in my hands!! I really want to read it, but I'm feeling a reread of Warm Bodies will be needed
