This week I got a couple of books (I couldn't help it!).
Hollowland by Amanda Hocking (book one in the Hollows series) was free from Amazon.
"This is the way the world ends - not with a bang or a whimper, but with zombies breaking down the back door."
Nineteen-year-old Remy King is on a mission to get across the wasteland left of America, and nothing will stand in her way - not violent marauders, a spoiled rock star, or an army of flesh-eating zombies.
Who doesn't love flesh eating zombies? I mean really.
Wither by Lauren DeStefano (book one in The Chemical Garden series) I got at Books - a - Million. I couldn't not go in anymore. And this was on SALE! Score.
At age sixteen, Rhine Ellery has four years to live. Thanks to a botched effort to create a perfect race, all females live to be twenty, and males live to age twenty-five. While geneticists seek a miracle antidote, orphans roam the streets and polygamy abounds. After Rhine is kidnapped and sold as a bride, she is desperate to escape from her husband's strange world, which includes a sinister father-in-law in search of the antidote and a slew of sister wives who are not to be trusted. On the cusp of her seventeenth birthday, Rhine attempts to flee--but what she finds is a society spiraling into anarchy.
Can't wait to see what you all got this week!
WOOT! I love books on sale. Hope you enjoy Wither more than I did, hehe. :P
