Status Updates From Moon of the Crusted Snow

oh my word. this is heavily feeding my imaginary apocalyptic scenarios that i create in my head all the time lmaoo. things are getting weird, eerie and creepy fast, i love it.

the tensions are rising. people are slowly panicking. the idea that when things start to worry people in communities, their first collective thought is to practically ransack the grocery store is so interesting to me. in a community so close-knit and such, you’d think everyone would consider others before just stock piling their grocery carts :/

Was excited for this but I can’t figure out who its audience is. It’s got a weird obsession with propriety, like it’s trying to teach the reader how to behave/what is “right,” making it seem very YA. (And schoolmarm-ish.)

Stilted character interactions and obvious dialogue.

Yeah, this isn’t going to break my reading slump.

something .. is lurking on the horizon.

there’s this lingering feeling of something being off. evan feeling uneasy about all of the electronics having no connection/service at the same time. like they’ve been cut off from the outside world overnight. his dad having that lowkey haunting dream? yeah.

i’m reading this while sick in bed, and it lowkey is the perfect book i will admit lol. very intimate peek into the daily lives of evan and nicole, enjoying watching them just experience their day-to-day routines quite honestly, it’s warm and inviting.

so far, this is such an intimate read.

EXCUSE ME...WHAT?!? 😱 No one told me this was a horror novel. 💀 Finishing this tomorrow so I can get beauty sleep and not have a panic attack before bed.
