BONUS VID: I Bought Too Many Books
I'm gearing up for a post-apocalyptic story, which means ALL THE RESEARCH.
I changed the promo from World War Z to The Last of Us because of the time period, as the majority of the book will take place somewhere between 20 and 50 years after the zombie outbreak and nuclear war it sparked.
But in terms of prose, it's probably going to be closer to WWZ because I plan on it being a collection of diary entries, interviews and testimonials, newspapers, etc. While I don't have a title yet, I do know the subtitle is going to be some variation of An Incomplete History of the End of the World.
Or maybe it'll be completely different. I barely have the damn thing outlined, and we all know how quickly I can swerve in these books.

Ooooh nore books to add to my list, thank you. 😁😈💸 I can already hear my bank crying.
Thank you for the book list and brief explanation of how you research! And thanks for stacking and showing us the spines at the end. I paused the video and screenshot it to make it easier to add these to my ever-growing book list. 😁🥰
My book list just got longer...
I have been wanting to write a post apocalypse book myself. At one point an author friend suggested writting about getting a monkey to go and unlock the doors through cat flaps to get shelter.
It's interesting how similar your "Coursework" for your research and an actual college class have in common, especially college history. There were so many ancillary books in addition to the main text that the teacher assigned the class (Some of which were never even discussed in lecture) that would enrich the student.
Thank you! I pride myself on my nerdiness. Part of this is "the more information I arm myself with, the better and more enriching the book will be," but a lot of it is sheer, "Oh, that's so interesting! Imma read it!"
