Hey everyone! The holiday season is ramping up here in Hong Kong, and I’m thinking about the pies I want to make for expat Thanksgiving, anticipating the delivery of my Christmas tree, and planning out gifts for my loved ones. I especially love to give (and receive) physical books. Last year my parents gave me a paperback copy of The Last One, an apocalyptic thriller by Alexandra Oliva about a woman who’s in the middle of filming a survivalist reality show when an actual apocalypse kicks off. It has all my favorite ingredients: an apocalypse, a fast pace, a woman surviving on her own, romantic tension, interesting characters, and explorations of deeper themes.
When you’re looking for the perfect book, sometimes it helps to know what ingredients are in the mix. Here’s a handy guide to the tropes in my series to help you decide if they’re right for the reader in your life. They’re all available in paperback and some are out in hardcover too!
