Apocalyptic Social Media!
A book set slightly in the future, this tells the story of how social media has developed to such an extent that everyone is now directly linked to the internet. Everything is fed to them, so that they no longer have to learn to do anything for themselves. Something goes wrong however: something of apocalyptic proportions. People are Taken, and their feed is invaded. This can happen when they sleep, so no one sleeps alone. This follows Tom, Kate, their daughter Bea, and the people that they try to start a new life with on a small holding after the Collapse.
I really, really enjoyed the last third of this, which is when everything started to happen. This is the only reason why I’ve scored it a 7/10. That last third was really very good, however the first two thirds did drag a little for me. I’m glad I persevered though!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy to read and review!

Warm bodies, warm hearts
Described to me as the Zombie twilight, I would actually say twilight is the vampire version of Warm bodies. I adore anything post apocalyptic and whilst this is a bit more romantic than I normally like this book hit the spot wonderfully!
Full of twists and turns, heart rendering moments. Urgh, I just can't express how much I loved this book.

Would 10/10 recommend for anyone who needs a good book to curl up with.

I found the premise of this novel - a collection of novellas tenuously linked together quite a tedious read. however, it is so well written that I was compelled to read it to the end, yet I still struggled to see what linked them all together. Each story is composed in a different genre or style, from the 17th century to the post apocalyptic future, which shows Mitchell's ability to write multi genre. That is about all this novel had going for it though.
