Rick comes to an agreement with the Hilltop that they will go head to head with Negan, a leader of the group that calls themselves The Saviors. This was formed because Rick sees a future, and he sees this as a step closer to rebuilding civilization instead of merely surviving, they will be able to live again. In return, the group has given them enough supplies to last the winter.

I definitely think this has a very interesting design with different sizing and the curves. I definitely think in a kid's playroom this would be a very great addition.

I definitely think this is a great idea! Although I'm not sure how I would want to organize my books, especially because I like keeping authors and series together on my shelf.

feature friday~ bookcases (41)

Welcome to Feature Friday!

I think this would be a unique feature in a library, but other than that, it seems a bit bulky to have sitting in a room in a house. As well, the design isn't really something that I would personally want.

I love how this cover shows that Rick is still human, and that through all of this, he still feels emotion. I love the black background and the lightness of Rick. This may be one of my favourite covers just for the sheer intensity and isolation of it.

Review:

They are burning all the zombie bodies. Rick admits to having no choice but to sacrifice Jessie after she wouldn’t let go of Ron. It goes to show how desperate and protective Rick is of Carl and how he would not put that in danger and would do anything that needs to be done to ensure the greatest safety for him. Rick and the community are thinking of ideas that will create a better future for them all and that they will be able to be safe in the town. Carl is still in the infirmary. Rosita found out about Abraham’s cheating with Holly and she has decided to leave him.

Review:

The group manages to thin out the zombies and reclaim the community as their own. Carl is recovering, and Rick has regained a sense of hope with all that has happened and believes that they will be able to secure the walls, invest in training, and become an army to defend against all threats and attacks and that the zombies are manageable, but the biggest threat is other humans being the obstacle.
