It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet and share what you have been and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit, comment, and add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at The Book Date.
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kid-lit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle-grade novels, young adult novels, or anything in those genres – join them.
What I am Reading Now
When the storms hit, people died. Ros and her friends were among the lucky few to survive. They were safe underground but when the way clears for them to return, will they survive the new world that is waiting for them?
Supplies.
Shelter.
Survival.
Those who lived will have to fight for their lives. Kindness does not exist.
What I plan to read the first half of this week
After being separated from her friends, Ros strikes out on her own. She has every intention to try and find them, if only she can locate HOME again. If she can find it, will her friends still be there or is she destined to fight to survive in this world alone? Isolation. Desperation. Survival.
Now that Ros is back with her friends, the one thing they must do is avoid HOME at all costs. But what if there is something worse out there? When Ros and her friends are kidnapped by a secret group of people revolting against HOME, they’ll be forced to make a choice. Depressed, hungry, and tired, will they stay?
Escape Into Reading 
Oh I love an apocalyptic story, and it’s not often we see it through a younger protagonist’s view. I hope it’s as great as it seems! Right now I’m reading Shadow Walker by Jina Bazzar. We’ve been author buddies for a long time so it’s nice to finally read something by her. The fantasy novel is nice and complex with a heist theme. Slow burn for sure.

I have read books by Jina too and have Shadow Walker on my TBR (I will get to it, some day…lol). The Ravaged Lands series was good and did have a lot of twists in it. I actually finished the series last night.

I feel your pain. It took me two years to get to it and my physical TBR on my bookshelves is totally nuts. Yay! Glad you loved it. 🙂
