This isn‘t really my kind of book, but I thought i‘d give it a try. Was I pleasantly amazed? Sort of.

This book follows the story of Benny Imura, a fifteen year old boy who‘s forced to get a job so the government doesn‘t cut his rations. With few options, he turns to his brother, asking for an apprenticeship as a bounty hunter. But there‘s a lot more to killing zombies than he expected.
It was okay, just not really my type of book.

Honestly this was not the book for me. That being said, it was well written, had a good plot, and had interesting characters and others I talked to really enjoyed it. For me I was expecting more of a Twilight or Hush, Hush story, but with zombies, so I was disappointed while reading it. I would still recommend that you give it a try if you like zombies and adventure stories.

#20Series20Days Day

This YA series is on my #Top20Series list because, quite simply, it‘s a really good zombie story. It has all the things—fantastic characters, great plot, loads of action, high stakes, emotional depth & most importantly, the reason(s) for everything is really smart & well thought out. Plus, there‘s no let up—it‘s good beginning to end. Don‘t think you like zombie stories? Try this one & you just might. 🧟‍♀️ 🧟‍♂️

I think I am going to like this little zombie series.

“The wind howled through the trees, like a #host of banshees. Benny had never heard anything like it, and despite everything, there was some weird little part of him that liked it. It wasn‘t “cool”—He‘d cut off his leg before he used that word again. No, it was, in its own raw and primal way, magnificent.” #QuotsyOct19 #AllHallowsRead

Rot & Ruin is a fitting read for October, dystopia, ruin, zombies, fierce females and family.

1. Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry
2. Just nailed the first week of school! Gonna sleep late, get caught up on chores, and READ! (And grade papers and finish grad school assignments 😒).
3. Pistachio almond
4. Does Chopsticks on the piano count 😁? Took lessons as a kid but didn‘t persevere, which I now regret.

Sorry it‘s a day late, but just came home and crashed last night! Have a wonderful long weekend, Littens! ❤️

Went for my one week after-surgery checkup and I am pleased to report that the tissue sample showed the surgeon removed all of the cancer and I only have DCIS--the cancer stayed noninvasive and I can proceed with radiation in a few weeks! This is amazing news!! Everything is healing, stitches were removed, and I'll be back to normal soon. To all my female family and friends, I am now the poster child for getting your yearly mammograms done ASAP!!

“He knew that these creatures were dead, that they were reanimated echoes who wore the disguise of the people they had once been, but Tom's words rang in his mind. They used to be people. How could he strike them? How could he hurt them? Children, women, old people. Lost souls.”
This book made me think of a YA walking dead.
#AllHallowsRead

A very different take on zombies from what I'm used to, but im intrigued and im liking it so far (about half way thru it) #zombies #rotandruin

Book is great, fast-paced, interesting and makes you think.

#ashestoashes makes me think dust to dust which reminds me of these books on my tbr #septembowie . I do like zombies 😀🐉

7-8-17: Spent a great day at the Orlando Book Festival and got to hear a keynote address from Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker award winning author. He told the story of his upbringing including a father who was the head of a KKK chapter in Philadelphia, a librarian who helped him with independent studies when no one wanted to deal with him, and Ray Bradbury as a mentor when he was 13! Very interesting speaker!!!

#riotgrams Day 18 Not included are all the romances I have happy cried at the end of. #bookthatmadeyoucry #emotionalperson

#indiebookstore I missed a decent angle for the store out front, but got a few inside 😸 Turn The Page, in Sutton, Ontario. 🇨🇦 The used books shop owner was glad to hear about Independent Bookstore Day, with my visit and photos for Litsy. #aprilbookshowers

"I‘m not overly curious to find out where the next novel will take us, but I wouldn‘t mind hopping back into the fictional zombie-infested world with these characters. And Tom. Especially Tom."

#greenbooks for St. Patrick's Day

I have been meaning to read this for some time. Boy am I glad I finally did! If you like walking dead will enjoy the first in this YA zombie series. I will most definitely read the next book.

Love how the author forces us to question who the "monsters" are in the world while forcing us to question our motivations to live.

It's like The Walking Dead for young adults.
