3. Laura: The Life of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Donald Zochert. I was a huge fan of the Little House books as a kid, and I read somewhere online that the differences between "what actually happened" and the stories in the books were interesting, so I had to read it. It was okay.

4. Horns by Joe Hill. This is Stephen King's kid. He writes good. Read his stuff. Unless you don't like horror, in which case... not so much.

5. The River Cottage Family Cookbook by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Fizz Carr. This is a British cookbook. It reads like a British cookbook, there are recipes for custard and it talks about pancakes with lemon juice and sugar. I probably won't make anything from it.

6. Gender Shock by Phyllis Burke. Really interesting and educational (and sort of depressing) if you're into nonfiction.

1. The Walk by Lee Goldberg. What an awful way to start a year of reading. Amazon recommended this book to me, probably because I've bought/read a lot of post-apoc stuff. Netflix must have taught me the bad habit of just adding whatever is recommended (and often regretting it later) because I added it without the author's name "clicking" for me - this is the guy who bashes fanfic but is paid to write TV show episodes. I didn't realize until a full chapter into the book, when I was wincing and cringing about the truly awful writing - the punctuation errors are frequent and horrid - that I realized who this guy is. So, yeah. Avoid this book like a post-apocalyptic plague. TERRIBLE.

2. The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks by Max Brooks. Graphic novel, but more like graphic short stories. Good, but you might as well get it from the library than pay full price for it. :-)
