Best January 2022 to April. I’ll finish the year curating my own work. Here’s the best of the best.
Did I mention this curation is subjective?
another fun book!

I like these books as the zombies are relatable and enduring. I nice twist to the gory zombie genre that is out there!

But that’s not all for January! I’ve got this great post:
If you want a taste of what wackiness awaits you, here’s a video:
This video and channel became a favorite of mine before Russia became a nation non grata due to the Ukrainian war. It’s still funny and shows that there are real people in that country.
Short stories to keep you looking for zombies!

I started by reading this author’s book about the Turkey Apocalypse. I had so much fun (yes, fun, even though the turkeys were out killing everyone and thing in their path!) Then I read about the Undead Mother in law. Even better! Each book gets more accomplished than the next.
This one was a surprise! I thought I had purchased the same book twice (I’ve been known to do that!) However, this is just a group of short stories that are prequels or sequels to the others that fill in some questions I didn’t know I had or start me on a new train of thought. Fun to read! Just make sure you check all wildlife around you for metal caps before you settle in! They’re watching you!

Best January 2022 – What about February?
Nothing ever happens in February–except my birthday. And Lincoln’s. And Washington’s. Not that there’s any connection.
But there was also this blog post:
Here’s a video excerpt of one of the science stories:
March 4th – The only day that is a command
Never disabled
5.0 out of 5 stars

An uplifting tale of how four students find that within disability is ability. Looking past who others think they are was the way the four came together to make a difference not only in their own lives but the lives of those around them. The main theme of this tale is practice, practice, practice.

Best January 2022 to April – Andy Zach‘s review
Apr 21, 2022
really liked it
bookshelves: humor, science-fiction
The first thing you notice about Dave Freer’s novel Cloud-Castles is the setting: a gas giant with a habitable zone in the atmosphere. Alien technology genetically engineering plant life that floats in the atmosphere and a whole ecosystem of flying creatures. There is an anti-gravity city, which has degenerated into a slum, and floating castles, owned by two warring alien species who use humans as slaves.
That setting is enough to make me read the book. But I also love the premise: a rich, but innocent scion, Augustus Thistlewood III, of humanity’s wealthiest family, is there to practice philanthropy toward the poor, downtrodden masses, using his recently acquired sociology degree.
Needless to say, his suitcase is quickly stolen by a ‘helpful’ street urchin Briz. Looking through his stuff, she realizes he has nothing to pawn and is a complete innocent, but very wealthy. Briz returns the suitcase and offers to escort him around the dangerous port town.
Then, adventures happen.
Highly recommended.
