Jex (jexball) I highly recommend Cell by Stephen King. One of my fav books of all time. Zombies with telepathic abilities..o my! Cell by Stephen King

Adriana I can't believe he made a zombie book! Awesome! I'll try to get it. (:

Abby (anesidora) | 21 comments Some other books I've come across at the library...

Boneshaker (The Clockwork Century, #1) by Cherie Priest
The Death Collector (Smart Kids) by Justin Richards
Eat Slay Love (Living With the Dead, #3) by Jesse Petersen
My Zombie Valentine by Katie MacAlister
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith


message 10: by Adriana (new)

Adriana Really Boneshaker? My brother never mentioned that when he was reading it. I find that odd. I thought it was supposed to be all steampunky.

I know someone who didn't like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Something about it not being gory enough.

So I read my first zombie book for the month: The Forest of Hands and Teeth (The Forest of Hands and Teeth, #1) by Carrie Ryan they aren't called zombies but they most defiantly are.

Adriana Was it any good?

It was pretty good and I'll be picking up the companions/sequels soon.

Adriana Cool

I haven't read it, but it does seem to be an almost dystopian, steampunk tale of zombie-infested Seattle.

Also, just read Breathers A Zombie's Lament by S.G. Browne Great book. Quite gory, but really funny.

So has anyone else read a zombie book this month?


message 17: by Jex (new)

Jex (jexball) Can't say I have. Too swamped with other book commitments this month.


message 18: by Adriana (new)

Adriana I am reading Monster Island right now.


message 19: by Jex (new)

Jex (jexball) Ooo I want to read that one. Tell me how it goes!


message 20: by Adriana (new)

Adriana Sure (:

Finished The Dead-Tossed Waves (didn't like it as much as the first) and I'm currently reading The Dark and Hollow Places.


message 22: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (catsbooksandcritters) | 533 comments Mod
Finished The Dark and Hollow Places, not as good as the first but better then the second.


message 23: by Adriana (new)

Adriana Still haven't finish Monster Island!
The basics of it is that Delkab this UN rep. kind of adopts this girl she finds. She needs to leave her in order to get drugs for AIDs because this prominent leader who has it will die if she doesn't get them. That will erupt a war.
Gary is crazy. It's such a big twist. He does an operation. He is a zombie. He is dead but he has his mind. He can think.
