Yes, it is timely, May. It was written in 2012. It takes place about nine years after a worldwide pandemic kills off most humans and many species of animals and plants. I'd say its theme is what makes life worth living. Is mere survival good enough or do we need human interactions, love, joy?

Gia Williams | 21 comments Hi all, just finished Scented by Laurence Fearnley, i recommend reading my review. I would love to know what your thoughts are on the questions that popped up.
Now onto Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton. Boy Swallows Universe

As for the question on if people's choices have changed while this virus does its world tour i think mine has. I would rather read something light and amusing or inspirational. I don't think we need anymore doom and gloom in this world. There are teddy bears in every home window in our country to give kids something to smile at and look for. I think we are all looking for that little glimmer of comfort and lightness. Stay safe everyone. If that means finding comfort between pages and sheets then so be it!

I'm looking for something new to read.

I love historical romance, fiction and non-fiction.

Hi. I am Asa Rodriguez. Nice to meet you. Hope we can connect here.

I just wrote my first non-fiction self-help book, "I always loved you. Creatures of eternal love." I seek to awaken people and bring awareness. My book is about love and the lack of it in the individual, in the world. The obstacles to love. The many mental dimension of love. The psychology behind relationship.

It talks about the feminine force--in man, in women, in life. The nihilistic mind and how it influences us. In short, it is spiritual/psychological, and it brings a depth that other books I have read in these topics do not have. Check it out!
