I'll be interested in hearing what you think of them, when you're able to get to them.<br />You've got that right about the TBR Piles!! Piles and Piles. I am doing better at axing away at them this year. The more I study my library, the more I see that I want to read.<br />Good luck with yours!!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-54509797614414151262019-03-16T18:49:17.920-04:002019-03-16T18:49:17.920-04:00Hi Tracy,

If nothing else it is fast-paced, about 250 pages, and a bit of a thrill. <br />I am amazed by how sick I've been with this darn cold. Books and movies in the evening make it better, but they are the only things that help.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-65288094393896244112019-03-13T19:16:39.711-04:002019-03-13T19:16:39.711-04:00I used to be a huge sci-fi reader but now am only ...I used to be a huge sci-fi reader but now am only an occasional one, still enjoy the genre though.<br /><br />BLCC is the British Library Crime Classics... only these are not crime books and when I checked they're just 'British Library' published. The titles are The Tide Went Out and The Darkest of Nights and they're both by Charles Eric Maine. If you think you might have any interest at all in reading them I will happily send them to you when I've read them. That might not be for some time but I know you won't mind as your tbr pile is every bit as big as mine I'm sure.

It is a good thing that you have books to distract you. I haven't had a cold since early January but at work many people have been out off and on since January with various colds. <br /><br />This book sounds very good. I like post-apocalyptic novels and the setting sounds good too. I will put it on my list to look for.<br />TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-62839999818966155772019-03-13T18:07:42.677-04:002019-03-13T18:07:42.677-04:00The author, an avid outdoorsman, currently resides...The author, an avid outdoorsman, currently resides in British Columbia.

If you have interest in sci-fi, you might enjoy this one because it ended on a hopeful note, and the emphasis was more on suspense rather than horror. <br />Now the two the BLCC sent you have me curious. And, I'm sorry, what's the BLCC? British Library Consortium? My mind is doing tricks with the acronym.

It was extremely popular the year it was published, at least a decade back, but it was harrowing.<br />Wolves in Winter is a somewhat more hopeful book, if anything post-apocalyptic can be called "hopeful."Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-88099048598079463382019-03-13T10:26:49.349-04:002019-03-13T10:26:49.349-04:00I like the fact that this is set in the Yukon: too...I like the fact that this is set in the Yukon: too few stories are set there.

I had one like it in January so I can sympathise. <br /><br />This book sound rivetting. Post-apocolytic and dystopian novels always make me feel very uneasy. I avoid them a bit, I have to admit, which makes me feel a bit of a wimp. But this one does sounds gripping. All that said, the BLCC sent me two of this sort of novel to review, one about a pandemic and the other an 'apocolytic novel' about a cover-up over nuclear weapons testing.
