Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

I was hooked from the very first episode. thoughtful, tragic, well made. sadly this is an issue that most people don't know about and is probably much more prevalent than we can even imagine.

Story
The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France—a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

I had difficulty liking Isabel at first, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. We must never forget the horrors of that war, the amazing courage of those who survived it and the legacy of those who did not. We must never forget.

Story
Billy Todd has always been different. Most people called him odd, and those were the nice people. Though he was born with a learning disability, Billy's parents never allowed him to consider himself disabled. Raised to be self-sufficient, Billy might not be as smart as some, but he was a lot smarter than people realized.

I read a lot of post apocalyptic fiction and some of them get a little too into how people have or have not prepared for the emergency. this may end up having a plot line but I couldn't wait for it. and I didn't find the characters all that interesting.

My name's Griz. I've never been to school, I've never had friends, and in my whole life I've not met enough people to play a game of football. My parents told me how crowded the world used to be, before all the people went away. But we were never lonely on our remote island. We had each other and our dogs. Then the thief came.

Loved it! Interesting view of the Apocalypse so many years later and what the Earth looks like. Author used a little too much foreshadowing, I thought, but that's the only negative IMO.

The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name.

I got this title from an article of the "best apocalyptic fiction". It was one of the few titles I hadn't read. I think some abridging would have been good, but overall a good story and excellent reader.
