I just finished reading The Midwich Cuckoos, which is classic, chilling sci-fi from 1957. Spooky in all the right ways. Fascinating in its implications. When a mysterious incident causes all the eligible childbearing women in town to get pregnant at the same time and give birth to a pack of golden-eyed children with troubling powers, what will the town do to make sure their secret remains just that. And when the threat becomes more about the world's safety than the town's...what's to be done?
It was a quick read, and hoo boy did it make me think.
I recently listened to an advance audio copy of Fathomfolk by Eliza Chan. It's a different genre than After the Flood but the base idea of a world that has been partially submerged is the same. I enjoyed Fathomfolk and having read that, it makes me want to read After the Flood now too to get a completely different story about life in a water-filled world.

Ooh, this cover is gorgeous, but my poor little heart cannot handle climate fiction. Proud of you for going to your silent book club!!!
