Aftermath: A Story of Survival Review
I picked up my iPad to read this on Kindle. I thought oh, I will read a few pages and go to bed. HA! I haven't ready a good SHTF book in awhile. Dare I say I read a chapter or two and never finish it. Sad because Post Apocalyptic and Dystopian are my top 2 favorite genre's. I could not turn my Kindle off. No, it wasn't broken. This book was good! Engaging. The…
Oasis (The Last Humans) A Review
My name is Theo, and I'm a resident of Oasis, the last habitable area on Earth. It's meant to be a paradise, a place where we are all content. Vulgarity, violence, insanity, and other ills are but a distant memory, and even death no longer plagues us. I was once content too, but now I'm different. Now I hear a voice in my head, and she tells me things no imaginary friend should know. Her…
The Survival Savvy Family Review
When I was was given the chance to review The Survival Savvy Family by Julie at Home Ready Home I was super excited. I have read Julie's blog for sometime and recently she has allowed me to ask a ton of questions about her neck of the woods. This book is not your "The world is ending" type of survival book. It is full of practical tips and information that you can apply to everyday…
Persied Collapse Review
This is book 1 in the Perseid Collapse Post Apocalyptic series. You can also read my review of the prequel, The Jakarta Pandemic. I had started to read this and then saw there was a prequel. So, being the OCD'r that I am, I had to read The Jakarta Pandemic first, then came back to The Perseid Collapse. You wouldn't have to do this, but it did help with getting to know the characters so…
The Jakarta Pandemic {book review}
I saw on Facebook awhile back about the author, Steven Konkoly's, book series going on sale on Amazon. I purchased The Perseid Collapse and began to read it right away. A few pages in and it dawned on me, this was actually book 2, well book 1, but there was a prequel. I then bought the prequel, Jakarta Pandemic, and read it first. I have since finished The Perseid Collapse as well and will be…
The Organic Canner Review
The Organic Canner written by Daisy Luther of The Organic Prepper I am a self taught canner. I have always had this perfect little daydream of being in the kitchen of the house my dad grew up in, in Northern Minnesota, with my grandma. Her teaching me all of her little tips on how to can. Alas, that was not to be so I taught myself. The hello YouTube. Part of my preparedness lifestyle is…
Preppers Blueprint Book Review
By far the most complete Preparedness book I have read. This book has everything, but the kitchen sink, in it. The Prepper's Blueprint Layers of Protection Layer 1~Chapters 1-14 Prepare yourself for everyday disasters. Power outages, storms, that sort of thing. Layer 2~ Chapters 15-31 Medium effect disasters like pandemics or economic collapse Layer 3~ Chapters 32-56 Change your lifestyle and be ready for anything. Need to know what to put in a 72 hour…
Sharecropping the Apocalypse (Review)
Ron Foster does it again. Entertaining you, as well as educating you. I find myself taking notes as I read his books and Sharecropping the Apocalypse was no different. After a cyber attack and wide spread sabotage by terrorists took out the United States electrical grid one group of survivors found themselves far worse off than the rest of the populace. Was his best writing? No. Being self published it had a few grammatical errors…
The Long Road {Book Review}
Book 2 in a 4 book series, The Long Road picks up after The End. Again, I couldn't put this one down and was a fairly quick read. One afternoon. If you aren't already a prepper (you read my blog and don't have at least water and TP stored?) you will wish you were. This book is one of those that will make you think and wonder "Will it really be that way?" Some characters…
The End {Book Review}
If you are looking for a last minute Christmas gift then this is it! I don't say this lightly when it comes to books. I read a lot and in the last 2 years have found I enjoy this Post Apocalyptic genre. While there a a few swear words, what book in this genre doesn't have them and I have learned to get past it. (I share this not to judge, but so you know)…
