#WickedGoodReads The Zombie Edition
- I read this at Modern Mrs. Darcy – You’re not meant to do what you love. You’re meant to do what you’re good at. … What do you think? I tend to agree. “If everybody did what they thought they loved, the important things wouldn’t get done. To function as a society, there are labors that are necessary. Someone has to do them. Is that person robbed of a life of passion, because they had to choose a life of skill and purpose? No, of course not.”
- 10 Signs You’ve Found Your Favorite Book … “Convincing everyone you meet to read the book but laughing in their face when they ask if they ask if they can borrow your copy.”
- I always enjoy reading Amazon’s Best of the Month because there’s bound to be at least 1 book I put on my reading list. This time it’s The Obelisk Earth (The Broken Earth #2), N.K. Jemisin and Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty.
- I also love weird reads so I’m eyeing the books on this list of Three Chilling Novels Told Through the Villain’s Eyes to my reading list.
