Yeah, pretty much. In fact, I've discovered that any book whose cover picture has a gun or any other kind of weapon on it is not my cuppa tea at all.Thanks for the recommendations. After reading the group I referred to in post #549 (some of which I mistakenly said were written by John Matherson. The author is William R. Forstchen and the protagonist is John Matherson), I read one more book by Forstchen, 48 hours. It's about a gigantic solar flare that would cause massive extinctions across the globe.
I read these over the course of 4-6 weeks, resting my psyche with lighter fare in between.
Seemingly unrelated, last week I was looking at my back-up pantry and realized it's recently become excessive. Took a full inventory. Eek! The stress of early pandemic shortages and these apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic books is showing up as food anxiety. My stash has grown well beyond a reasonable level (for a non-survivalist). DH & I could literally live for months from the pantry alone. I haven't yet had the courage to inventory the freezers, but it's on my list of things to do.
Anyone else having this issue from this type of reading material?
