All That's Left in the World | 
There's nothing more excruciating than waiting for *that* book to be released! I'm usually a patient person, but d@mn, May is still so far away!
pickI totally jumped the gun and reread ATLITW over two months early when I had originally planned to time it just right for the sequel to be released, but I needed my post-apocalyptic comfort read! Brimming with pop culture references and queer dystopian representation, this novel ticks so many boxes. I wish there was more differentiation between the boys' POVs, and the pacing was a little quicker in parts, but overall, it's a fantastic read!
panThis was a book left over from #scarathlon that's been on my TBR pile for awhile. It was a queer YA post apocalypse book that got great reviews.
I was disappointed. Chapters vary in POV and I couldn't tell them apart. The characters were basically the same. The constant pop culture references were tiresome.
The romance was shallow, the characters flat, pacing wasn't great, overall it didn't work for me.
pickWhen all hope seems lost in post-apocalyptic USA, beams of it still flash in the darkness. Food and shelter are scarce, but the walking (barely) wounded (very) Andrew happens upon a secluded cabin and a shy smart boy named Jamie. Together, they cross decrepit America, a witty, sarcastic (never change Andrew. You must be protected at all costs), dark and unbelievably tense journey, where danger and hate survive the desolate and nip at their heels.
pickI enjoyed this one, gripped me throughout.
Read for reading challenges.
4.25/5
pickFunny book about pandemic? Apparently it's possible :) I'm not the perfect audience for post apocalyptic novels cause I often found them ubeliveble. And it would be nice to read a post apocalyptic book that is not set in US so everyone doesn't have a gun (any suggestions?).
Still this story was cute and engaging and it was fun to listen to.
pickThis was a slightly left field pick for me. A story of two teens thrown together in the aftermath of a deadly flu. Whilst much is dark (and reminds me at times of the parable of the sower which I read early this year) there is also a light from the fun relationship and a hint of romance as the two boys figure out what they mean to each other #booked22 might I actually make it?
pickI read most of this today and my head is full. Ultimately, I loved Andrew & Jamie, though Andrew wouldn‘t know a good decision if it stared him in the face. The journey I expected to follow in this book ended about halfway through and then I was just along for the ride. I love that there is still hope for the future (at least most of the time). Their adventure was far from over at the close of the book and I will be thinking of them often!

pickPost Apocalypse where a pandemic has killed off the majority of the population, two teen boys must struggle with survival, face the remnants of a corrupt humanity, while fighting their feelings for one another in this queer based YA.
#currentlyreading #marchrso2022 #preview #digital #lgbt+ I think there‘s #romance too. Haven‘t read enough yet to feel secure about adding more tags.
pickThis is a pandemic book, first drafted in 2015, about survival, hope, the best & worst of people, & forging connections under the worst circumstances. Billed as a “postapocalyptic queer romance,” it‘s a story about 2 teens who have lost everything, who struggle with what their new reality demands of them & who have no reason to trust each other, but somehow build a connection & find a way to hope. A fast read, I really enjoyed it. On sale 3/8/22.
