Recs if you like The Dog Stars...

also known as “cozy catastrophes,” these are books that deal with a post-apocalyptic and/or dystopian world but are still hopeful, uplifting, or just leave you with more of a postive feeling!

Stories centered around isolation, being stranded, societal collapse, and surviving in the wilderness.

The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release.

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

These are the books that are going to be adapted as films this year. Let me know in the comments if there are more I didn't add!

YA and adult sci-fi/fantasy. Comment with suggestions!

Fiction about (maybe) being the last human alive on Earth — speculative, post-apocalyptic, dystopian

Books that are set in worlds that are either in the midst of facing world ending catastrophes or shortly there after. This list focuses on books that show how humans evolve and survive given the new circumstances they're in.

As always, open to suggestions for additions to the list! 🙂
