K's Book Review

Good morning everyone and happy Monday. A couple weeks ago I won this book through the Goodreads.com giveaway and was mailed a copy by the author. There was a note inside that he had written which was a great indication that he had a great sense of humour. As many of you might have noticed I am a huge fan of the apocalypse and post-apocalyptic society types of books whether they be zombies or natural disasters. So I was ecstatic when I found out I had won a copy of this book.  Let me tell you a bit about the book: Adam Dawson is the son of a famous astrophysicist who works for the President of the United States. He is coming back from a trip abroad when he gets a frantic phone call from his dad telling him that the end of the world as he knows it is coming and that he has to find him in Chicago as soon as possible. Not 15 minutes later all electronic devices fail. This might not have been such a big concern to Adam if he didn't happen to be in the middle...

Happy Wednesday everyone! If you are in the northern hemisphere I hope you are keeping warm... Reading has seemed to slow down a little even though I am on a vacation of sorts. I have taken up a new hobby: Knitting!  But despite that I am still reading little bits at a time.  Lately I find with the winter I am feeling a little tired all the time, and reading is taking backseat to sleeping no matter what time of day it is.

Although it is cold, going outside is important at least once a week. This means that you have to go out and do something. This doesn't count walking out to your car or running through a parking lot. Shovel the drive way or something, just get outside and get a little sun if you can. 2. Take vitami...

Hello ladies and gentlemen, Summer is almost here (about time right?) and that means hot weather, days in the shade, popsicles, the beach, and lounging by the poolside. It also means new releases, cold crisp pages of a book in the summer heat under sweaty fingers, and covering your book from the slashes of children cannon balling off a diving board.  Summer can be a great time to read, especially when it feels so nice just to sit down in the shade and relax with a nice book, and maybe take a quick nap. Just make sure if you are reading out in the sun to wear lots of sunscreen, no one wants a bad sunburn because they were too into a book to go inside out of the sun rays. Most of you don't have this problem, but still use sunscreen anyway if you are going outside. But this post isn't about books. This is about summer safety. It is really easy to get caught up in summer fever and forget to be safe. Stay hydrated, and no beer and pop don't count as drinks, in fact th...
