    This is for my 61 year old MIL. Some of her recent favorites:

    • The Passage Trilogy by Justin Cronin
    • The America Falls series by Scott Medbury
    • Silo/Wool Trilogy by Hugh Howey
    • Bird Box by Josh Malerman

    She doesn't really like fantasy (although she did like Fairytale by Stephen King). She prefers dystopian/disaster stuff that's at least SOMEWHAT plausible. She definitely likes action. And I don't think she'd like anything too weird. For example, I just started Oryx and Crake and worry it'd be a little too weird for her.

    Thank you in advance 🙂
