Apocalypse Now

I am a huge fan of zombie movies, so it is about time I read a zombie book! After waiting for months on the library's wait list, I finally got my hands on "World War Z". I was lucky enough to get the large print text edition which made it faster to read! I couldn't put this one down, and finished it in two days. I was bracing myself for vivid zombie dreams but they have not happened...yet.

I was first turned on to this book after seeing the trailer for the upcoming movie of the same name due out in June. The story is written in interview format, years after the "Great Panic" when a zombie uprising affected the entire world. Fascinating recounts from all over the globe are included, from Canada's arctic to life aboard a Chinese submarine ( zombies in this war can survive under water).

I am next going to read this book's prequel, "Zombie Survival Guide". A great read! Enjoy it zombie fans!

Keepin it real

I first saw "On the Outside Looking Indian" at Chapters last summer. It struck my eye and I jotted down the title to read at a later date. I am glad that I finally got around to reading it!

This witty book is a memoir in which the author recounts her childhood growing up in Ontario in a fairly strict Indian family. She felt like she missed out on many "typical" childhood experiences, and so she sets out to fulfill those missed out opportunities in adulthood. My favourite part of the book was the numerous mentions of eighties pop culture, from food to tv shows. Each Chapter is named after an 80s sitcom! You will enjoy the author's sense of humour as you read about her learning to swim, visiting Disneyland and attending her first summer camp. Happy Reading!

Pack it up pack it in...

Well, I found a readable book after quite a break from this blog! In the past few weeks I have opened and closed several books without being able to finish them. I also lost much time to random ipad cruising, but I am back!

I just finished " Gone Girl" and my head is spinning. A whodonnit page turner, this book literally left me in shock! Crazy crazy crazy is all I can say. This book reads easily and turns out to be a thriller genre, although I did not realize that going in, You will not easily forget the characters in this bookl Reserve it at the library now!!
