X by Jack Croxall
Fifteen-year-old X
thinks she is going to die. Shacked up in the cellar of an old
farmhouse, she starts a journal to document her last few days. Much less
than a few days if the things outside manage to get in.
I recieved this book from the author in return for an honest review.
So yesterday I told you my friend Jack Croxall has a new release called 'X'. The blurb intrigued me, so i asked him if he wanted to guest the book on my blog (see yesterdays post for that http://lovebooksblogbooks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/new-release-from-jack-croxall.html). He very kindly sent me a copy of the ebook too.
I piked it up straight away. It's a very short book, only took me 15 minutes to read it. But it was good, I enjoyed it. Well, enjoyed is a strange word I suppose, what is there to enjoy about reading a young girls diary entries, her lat diary entries?! But it was well written, and I honestly wished there had been more. There was definitely room to expand the characters (I know X is the only character, but she talks about her family too), I would have liked to have known more about them.
You don't know exactly what is going on, but you can guess it's about Zombies. A good little post apocalyptic story. Good work Jack!!

New release from Jack Croxall!!!
I noticed my friend Jack Croxall had a new release out, and the blurb had me very interested.
Fifteen-year-old X thinks she is going to die. Shacked up in the cellar of an old farmhouse, she starts a journal to document her last few days. Much less than a few days if the things outside manage to get in.
He has very kindly given me an exclusive extract from the book too :D

X's journal, first entry:
I
spend all of my daylight hours in this musty old cellar now. It’s
woeful, and I bet it smelled this bad even before everything turned to
crap. Great. My second sentence and I’ve already resorted to swear
words. When I decided I’d start this diary (five minutes ago) I thought
it would be my poetic and deeply-moving goodbye to the world. Maybe I’d
write about love and loss, or maybe even the splendour of nature. Then,
if anyone ever found it, at least I’d have left something to be
remembered by. As well as my corpse, of course.
What do you think? I'm looking forward to reading it!
