My surprise book of the week is “I think we’ve been here before” by Suzy Krause.  A heartwarming tale about the end of the world and how we all adapt.  And what becomes important in life.   The story starts out with a cancer diagnosis and then we shortly find that the world will be ending December 27.  

The ice cream store closes, then Walmart says the warehouses aren’t operating so you won’t get your packages.  There are some deniers who are dedicated to keeping capitalism going.  But in the end; we surround ourselves with the people we love and we take care of each other.  

The story grabbed me from the start— actually before the start.  It grabbed me from the blurb and the book is somehow written not in a depressing way, but an inspiring and heartwarming way.   The characters aren’t completely fleshed out; but it’s ok.  Because it’s just enough to get the reader thinking of what is more important. 

I got this kindle book free as my November pick, but only 50 pages in I ordered it for my shelf as a trophy.  

Happy thanksgiving to all my blog readers, I am grateful for you all.
