Two copies of THE WAY WE FALL by Megan Crewe
Available on January 24, 2012 by Disney-Hyperion
Description:
It starts with an itch you just can't shake.
Then comes a fever and a tickle in your throat.
A few days later, you'll be blabbing your secrets and chatting with strangers like they’re old friends. Three more, and the paranoid hallucinations kick in.
And then you're dead.
When a deadly virus begins to sweep through sixteen-year-old Kaelyn’s community, the government quarantines her island—no one can leave, and no one can come back.
Those still healthy must fight for dwindling supplies, or lose all chance of survival. As everything familiar comes crashing down, Kaelyn joins forces with a former rival and discovers a new love in the midst of heartbreak. When the virus starts to rob her of friends and family, she clings to the belief that there must be a way to save the people she holds dearest.
Because how will she go on if there isn't?

What's one of your favorite post apocalyptic or end of the world as we know it books?
ReplyDeleteStephen King's The Stand. It still terrifies me to this day, and it's still one of the best post apocalyptic books I've ever read.
The series by Susan Pfeiffer (I know I'm spelling it wrong) - The World as We Knew It....there's two others in the series. vague, I know, I'm getting old. :)
ReplyDeleteBlood red road!
ReplyDeleteDivergent
ReplyDeleteI recently read Shatter Me and I LOVED it! Could not put it down, so it's got to be my favorite so far
ReplyDeleteIt has to be The Stand.
ReplyDeleteMy fav end of world novel is The Forest of Hands and Teeth.
ReplyDeleteOH dang that is a hard one. Really I also loved The World as we Knew it and the land from the Forest of Hands and teeth but also the Aftertime series.
ReplyDeleteThe Stand by Stephen King, I started getting sick with bronchitis while I was reading it and it scared the bejesus out of me.
ReplyDeleteI also like the Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison, though it takes place in an alternate reality, and what almost wiped out the human race was, of all things, a genetically enhanced tomato.
I've also read and enjoyed The Forest of Hands and Teeth, but I can't remember who wrote it.
I used to read the Deathlands series and the Outlanders series by James Axler, but I quit when I found out it was a house pen name of the publisher, and because not all the authors that wrote in the series kept any kind of continuity with the other authors, very frustrating.
I also enjoyed Terry Brooks series Word and the Void, that had Running with the Demon, Knight of the Word and Angel Fire East in it. Also enjoyed the Genesis of Shannara, which was a sequel of sorts to the Word and the Void series. It consisted of Armageddon's Children, Elves of the Cintra and The Gypsy Morph.
There are so many more that I liked, but I just can't think of right now.
I'd have to stick with The Stand by Stephen King though as my favorite. He just has a way of making it freak you out, like maybe it could happen. I still freak out when I re-read it, even though I only got sick the first time I read it. I even watched the mini-series made from the book, which I don't normally do, because usually taking a book and making it into a film slices and dices the book. The Stand mini-series was just as good as the book, despite being slightly sliced and diced.
I would have to say Mira Grant's Feed series. In attempting to try to find cures for Cancer and the common cold things go viral. Makes me wonder how easily something like that could unfold today. Love the idea that bloggers are the new source for news. (Hugs)Indigo
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Shatter Me. It had all the great elements of a post-apocalyptic book.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to pick The Forest of Hands and Teeth series.
ReplyDeleteI would pick the Stand by Stephen King.
ReplyDeleteIt's stuck between Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi and Eve by Anna Carey. They were both such amazing reads.
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite is The Hunger Games (duh!) But Ashes, Ashes is starting to grow on me. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been on a bit of a dystopian kick lately, although some haven't been as good as others. But think one sounds great.
ReplyDeleteDivergent is definitely one of my favorites. Then there's the Gone series by Michael Grant as well. And how could we forget The Hunger Games and The Chemical Garden Trilogy?
ReplyDeleteThe survivors series by Susan Beth Pfeffer
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite post-apocalyptic books, especially in recent years, is Mike Mullin's "Ashfall." It's a darkly realistic and very interesting telling of what could happen if a supervolcano erupted in the US, and the author got much praise from me when I read it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a tie between The Stand by Stephen King and Swan Song by Robert R McCammon.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Under the Never Sky. The idea of living in pods with a virtual reality because it's too dangerous outside was great!

I haven't read a lot of books like that, but I did love Ashfall by Mike Mullin! It was so realistic.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this book before, but it's going on my want list.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting
ReplyDeleteSo I'm read A Million Suns right now and the whole ship is going to be toast if they don't fix that damn ship. Love books like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE books like this - some of my favorites are The Girl Who Owned a City, Obernewtyn, Blood Red Road, Across the Universe...
The Hunger Games is my fave. Thanks for the great giveaway! So looking forward to this one, it sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of The City, Not Long After by Pat Murphy.
ReplyDeleteE Earhart.
Megan Duncan's books & the Hunger Games
ReplyDeleteI loved The Road by Cormac McCarthy!
ReplyDeleteThe Forest of Hands and Teeth series, or 1984.
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games is my favorite so far.
