You know what is the easiest way to get me to read a book? Send the author out on tour. I had the pleasure of hearing Shaun talk about We are the Ants at Bay Area Book Festival earlier this year and I knew that We are the Ants was going to be special. Of course, that TBR stacks up REAL QUICK, so the next best way to get me to pick up a book is to have a trusted friend recommend it.

So, here I am kicking myself for waiting so long to read this one. Make no mistake, We are the Ants is a contemporary story with a slight sci-fi edge. This book is a SLEEPER in your TBR this year. WHY is no one talking about this book!? I don't know but I'm here to let you know that you should put it on your radar before the end of the year. Or sooner. Like right now.

What would you do if you were solely in charge of whether the world continued or not? Of course, how you're feeling about the world at that time is going to influence that decision. Henry is not having a good year so maybe declining to push that button to continue the world is the right decision.
Yikes.

This is Henry's story of learning about the world and the beauty in it. It's not all rainbows and flowers but does that mean it's not worth living in? Truly, Henry's journey of self-discovery (this book is marked as "coming of age") is what makes this book so freaking great.

We remember the past, live in the present, and write the future.
