Status Updates From Bird Box (Bird Box, #1)

Just read Chapter Four. Back in the past, Malorie and Shannon see several citizens shielding their eyes while outside, on their way to buy the pregnancy test and back. When they get home, Malorie finds out she is pregnant. Meanwhile, another suicide has happened near their parents' house. Malorie wonders how serious this is and feels worried. Knowing what happens in five years, things don't look too good.

Just read Chapter Three. Back in the present, Malorie rows their boat (at one point, the boat gets stuck and the boy helps get it unstuck) as she wonders how far a person can hear and reflects on her training the children to rely on hearing rather than sight, realizing all the things the children have never seen. The three's survival relies entirely on the children listening for any threats. I hope they make it.

Just read Chapter Two. Nine months before Malorie's children are born, Malorie is living with her sister Shannon. As Malorie worries she has become pregnant from a recent affair, Shannon is watching the news report a phenomenon beginning in Russia, where people see something before attacking others and killing themselves, spreading to Alaska. Shannon notices Malorie's worry, and takes her to buy a pregnancy test.
