Wishlist Wednesday #23

Wishlist Wednesday is a book blog hop where we will post about one book per week that is on our wishlist, that we reallllly want to get! Hosted by the lovely Dani at Pen to Paper.

This week my Wishlist Wednesday is...

Goodreads Synopsis
Miranda’s disbelief turns to fear in a split second when a meteor knocks the moon closer to the earth. How should her family prepare for the future when worldwide tsunamis wipe out the coasts, earthquakes rock the continents, and volcanic ash blocks out the sun? As summer turns to Arctic winter, Miranda, her two brothers, and their mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of their sunroom, where they subsist on stockpiled food and limited water in the warmth of a wood-burning stove.

Told in journal entries, this is the heart-pounding story of Miranda’s struggle to hold on to the most important resource of all--hope--in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar world.





I've only just recently come across this book but I think it sounds like a good read, I really like the idea of it being recorded in diary entries and after the end of the world didn't come around last year I think this might be quite a refreshing read. Miranda seems like quite a strong protagonist, its also nice to see a book taking place at the moment of change rather than dystopian fiction where everything is already settled (but not in a good way)
What's on your wishlist this week?

  2. I've had this book on my bookshelf for ages - I really need to pick it up. I've heard great things about it, though, so I hope we both enjoy it :)
