I just read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel , and it’s living rent free in my brain.

It was such a powerful book in so many ways. I loved the way the different storylines and characters were tied together, some intricately and some just loosely, as well as the multiple perspectives, timelines, and storylines.

I believe it was originally suggested to me as a book similar to the TV show LOST(2004-2010) and it did satisfy that quite well.

Other books that I have read and enjoyed in a similar vein include:

  • The Silo trilogy by High Howey ( Wool, Shift, and Dust)
  • Wayward Pines series by Blake Crouch (Pines, Wayward, and The Last Town)
  • Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
  • MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood (Oryx & Crake, the Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam)

Does anyone have any book suggestions for something similar I should look for?

Thanks!

        Glad you enjoyed. You’re better organized than me. There have been many times I’ve wished I could thank whoever recommended me a book, but I have no idea who, where, or when that was.

          I’m not all that organized! I just happened to be looking at my post history trying to find something and came across this post, realized that I had read a few books from the recommendations and decided to say thanks!! Haha :)

          I had completely forgotten that I had been recommended that specific book based on my request until I looked at your comment though!

    Try The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin.
