Temainlägg (11) : ZOMBIES!!

Nu kommer jag fuska igen. För den här gången får ni tyvärr inte välja tema. Jag har väntat och längtat efter Zombietema länge nu och då jag har ett par böcker hemma nu så kommer jag ha det som tema även om ni inte vill ha det... Sorry ;)

Släpps verkligen många intressanta böcker i den genren nu så jag hoppas ni hittar iallafall någon ni tycker verkar intressant även om detta i vanliga fall inte är eran typ av böcker kanske ^^. Och till alla er som ville att jag skulle ha zombietema och alla ni som älskar/gillar zombieböcker. YAY nu kör vi!

Sedan tycker jag att detta är ett alldeles perfekt tema att ha nu i Halloween och skräcktider, inte sant?

(342 sidor) Kommer läsa denna!	World War Z by Max Brooks : The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years. Denna vann jag hos Pocketlover och sägs av många vara något av en Zombie-bibel så självklart måste denna läsas om jag har tema Zombies. Är verkligen förväntansfull! Filmatiseras även med Brad Pitt i rollen just nu, så ska bli kul att ha läst den innan jag ser filmen.
(288 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	Enclave by Ann Aguirre : In Deuce’s world, people earn the right to a name only if they survive their first fifteen years. By that point, each unnamed ‘brat’ has trained into one of three groups–Breeders, Builders, or Hunters, identifiable by the number of scars they bear on their arms. Deuce has wanted to be a Huntress for as long as she can remember.    As a Huntress, her purpose is clear—to brave the dangerous tunnels outside the enclave and bring back meat to feed the group while evading ferocious monsters known as Freaks. She’s worked toward this goal her whole life, and nothing’s going to stop her, not even a beautiful, brooding Hunter named Fade. When the mysterious boy becomes her partner, Deuce’s troubles are just beginning.. En dystopisk zombiebok som jag hört mycket gott om. Verkar riktigt spännande!
(310 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan: In Mary's world there are simple truths. The Sisterhood always knows best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth. But, slowly, Mary’s truths are failing her. She’s learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power, and about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. When the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, she must choose between her village and her future—between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded in so much death?. En bok jag velat läsa sen jag började bokblogga. Beroende av böcker läste hela serien och pratade gott om den och jag har varit nyfiken sedan dess. Men av någon anledning har det aldrig blivit av. Hört lite blandade åsikter men är sugen på att hitta min egen. Är det dags nu kanske?
( 287 sidor) Kommer läsa denna!	Varma kroppar av Isaac Marion: Zombier har inga känslor - om de inte äter av din hjärna.  Världen har fyllts av zombier och ingen vet varför. R är en av dem.  Zombier har inga egna känslor eller minnen - men om de äter av en människas hjärna återupplever de scener ur den personens liv.  Det är så det går till när R blir förälskad. Han dödar en ung man och övertar hans kärlek till flickvännen. Nu har R ett mål i tillvaron. Han vill hålla kvinnan gömd från de andra zombierna och se till att hon överlever.  Den unge mannens känslor blir som en drog för R; bit för bit äter han av pojkvännens hjärna. Scen för scen upplever R hans liv, och det förändrar honom för alltid. Denna har jag redan hemma som rec-ex och har varit sugen på den sen innan den släpptes på svenska så nu är det äntligen dags att läsas! PS: grymt snyggt omslag!
(496 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick: It could happen tomorrow . . .  An electromagnetic pulse flashes across the sky, destroying every electronic device, wiping out every computerized system, and killing billions.  Alex hiked into the woods to say good-bye to her dead parents and her personal demons. Now desperate to find out what happened after the pulse crushes her to the ground, Alex meets up with Tom—a young soldier—and Ellie, a girl whose grandfather was killed by the EMP.  For this improvised family and the others who are spared, it’s now a question of who can be trusted and who is no longer human.. Verkar spännande, älskar de nya omslagen med :P.
(304 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	The Reapers Are the Angels by Alden Bell: Zombies have infested a fallen America. A young girl named Temple is on the run. Haunted by her past and pursued by a killer, Temple is surrounded by death and danger, hoping to be set free.  For twenty-five years, civilization has survived in meager enclaves, guarded against a plague of the dead. Temple wanders this blighted landscape, keeping to herself and keeping her demons inside her heart. She can't remember a time before the zombies, but she does remember an old man who took her in and the younger brother she cared for until the tragedy that set her on a personal journey toward redemption. Moving back and forth between the insulated remnants of society and the brutal frontier beyond, Temple must decide where ultimately to make a home and find the salvation she seeks. Finns på svenska med namnet  "I dödsskuggans land" men jag gillar detta omslaget bättre så är mer sugen på att läsa den på originalspråk :P.
(496 sidor) Tror inte jag vill läsa denna, denna gång.	Dearly, Departed: A Zombie Novel by Lia Habel: Love can never die.  Love conquers all, so they say. But can Cupid’s arrow pierce the hearts of the living and the dead—or rather, the undead? Can a proper young Victorian lady find true love in the arms of a dashing zombie?  The year is 2195. The place is New Victoria—a high-tech nation modeled on the manners, mores, and fashions of an antique era. A teenager in high society, Nora Dearly is far more interested in military history and her country’s political unrest than in tea parties and debutante balls. But after her beloved parents die, Nora is left at the mercy of her domineering aunt, a social-climbing spendthrift who has squandered the family fortune and now plans to marry her niece off for money. For Nora, no fate could be more horrible—until she’s nearly kidnapped by an army of walking corpses. . Ja jag erkänner. De är omslagets fel....Väldigt fint. Men är lite skeptisk till handlingen. Sen känns den lite för lik i stilen som Själlös så skulle kännas lite tjatigt att läsa den så kort tid efter. Men nån gång läser jag den gärna.
(208 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	Bad Taste in Boys by Carrie Harris: Someone's been a very bad zombie. Kate Grable is horrified to find out that the football coach has given the team steroids. Worse yet, the steriods are having an unexpected effect, turning hot gridiron hunks into mindless flesh-eating zombies. No one is safe--not her cute crush Aaron, not her dorky brother, Jonah . . . not even Kate! She's got to find an antidote--before her entire high school ends up eating each other. So Kate, her best girlfriend, Rocky, and Aaron stage a frantic battle to save their town  . . . and stay hormonally human.. Fick en chock när jag såg hos Boktycke hur kort den här boken var, vilken är trevligt då jag vill hinna läsa så många =). Plus att handlingen låter verkligen intressant och annorlunda. Vill väldigt gärna läsa.
(336 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	Cold kiss by Amy Garvey : When Wren's boyfriend, Danny, died, Wren decided that what she wanted—what she had to do—was to bring Danny back. And so, in a heartbroken fury, armed with dark incantations and a secret power, she did.  But the Danny who returns isn't the boy Wren fell in love with, and she must hide him away while her life unravels around her. Then Gabriel transfers to her school and somehow he knows what she has done—and he wants to help make things right.  But Wren alone must undo what she has wrought—even if it means breaking her heart all over again.. Tydligen poppis med YA Zombieböcker med läppar på framsidan... Riktigt snyggt är det dock så jag klagar inte. Sedan låter handlingen intressant med =).
(392 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	Generation Dead by Daniel Waters: Phoebe Kendall is just your typical Goth girl with a crush. He's strong and silent...and dead. All over the country, a strange phenomenon is occurring. Some teenagers who die aren't staying dead. But when they come back to life, they are no longer the same. Feared and misunderstood, they are doing their best to blend into a society that doesn't want them. The administration at Oakvale High attempts to be more welcoming of the "differently biotic." But the students don't want to take classes or eat in the cafeteria next to someone who isn't breathing. And there are no laws that exist to protect the "living impaired" from the people who want them to disappear--for good. When Phoebe falls for Tommy Williams, the leader of the dead kids, no one can believe it; not her best friend, Margi, and especially not her neighbor, Adam, the star of the football team. Adam has feelings for Phoebe that run much deeper than just friendship; he would do anything for her. But what if protecting Tommy is the one thing that would make her happy? En till lite annorlunda Zombie bok. Ingen klassik Zombie apokalyps saga här inte. Men ska jag läsa några stycken är det ju kul med varians (märkte dock att jag kanske tog med lite för många annorlunda och inte så många klassiker).
( 323 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers: It’s the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won’t stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn’t sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she’s failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up. As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she’s forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, the motivations for survival change in startling ways and soon the group’s fate is determined less and less by what’s happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life—and death—inside. When everything is gone, what do you hold on to?. Oj va mycket bra jag har hört om den här författaren, boken blev jag nyfiken på tidigt efter att ha sett detta coola omslag och hört vad den skulle handla om. När sedan både Tessan och Petra har hyllat Courtney's andra böcker så känns ju denna som ett måste. Denna kommer jag med stor säkerhet läsa även om ni inte röstar på den :P
(310 sidor) Kommer inte läsa.	My Life As a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland: Living with her alcoholic deadbeat dad in the swamps of southern Louisiana, she's a high school dropout with a pill habit and a criminal record who's been fired from more crap jobs than she can count. Now on probation for a felony, it seems that Angel will never pull herself out of the downward spiral her life has taken.  That is, until the day she wakes up in the ER after overdosing on painkillers. Angel remembers being in an horrible car crash, but she doesn't have a mark on her. To add to the weirdness, she receives an anonymous letter telling her there's a job waiting for her at the parish morgue—and that it's an offer she doesn't dare refuse.. Underbar titel, underbart omslag. Men är inte jättesugen på handlingen.
( 352 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	Pariah by Bob Fingerman : A frightening, darkly comedic look at people surviving a zombie onslaught, from award-winning comics sensation and novelist Bob Fingerman. A global plague has nearly vanquished mankind; the citizenry of New York City is no exception. Eight million zombies. Shoulder to shoulder. Walking the streets, looking for their next meal of human flesh. The residents of an Upper East Side walkup have joined forces to keep themselves safe, the pageant of walking rot outside their windows a constant reminder of the their foreseeable fate. Trapped in the safety of their building, the tenants find themselves at each others’ throats. When they spy a lone teenage girl who walks unharmed among the undead, impervious, their world opens up.. En bok jag såg hos Swedish Zombie för ett bra tag sedan och har varit nyfiken på den sedan dess.
(478 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	Zombie Apocalypse! by Stephen Jones : In the near future, a desperate and ever-more controlling UK government attempts to restore a sense of national pride with a New Festival of Britain. But construction work on the site of an old church in south London releases a centuries-old plague that turns its victims into flesh-hungry ghouls whose bite or scratch passes the contagion - a supernatural virus which has the power to revive the dead - on to others.. Känns väldigt lik World War Z? Båda är skrivna med olika medier för att få fram hur apokalypsen gick till tror jag. Denna berättelse växlar i att vara skriven som sms-konversationer, som brev och dagböcker etc. Verkar kul men frågan är om den är för lik? Nån som har läst båda som vet? Kanske har jag bara missuppfattat?
(254 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks: The Zombie Survival Guide is your key to survival against the hordes of undead who may be stalking you right now. Fully illustrated and exhaustively comprehensive, this book covers everything you need to know, including how to understand zombie physiology and behavior, the most effective defense tactics and weaponry, ways to outfit your home for a long siege, and how to survive and adapt in any territory or terrain.. Av samma författare som World War Z. Men detta är mer en skämtbok? Rolig guide i hur man överlever en apokalyps. En kompis och min syster äger denna så lånar den kanske av någon av dem =).
(144 sidor) Kommer läsa denna!	The Walking Dead vol 2 by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard: An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months, society has crumbled: There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally begin living. This volume follows our band of survivors on their tragic journey in search of shelter. Characters live and die as they brave a treacherous landscape littered with packs of the walking dead.. Väntar på svenska översättningen av denna som rec-ex som ska komma med posten snart, så den ska läsas direkt ^^. Läste nyligen om vol 1 på svenska (köpte den på bokmässan). Läste den först på engelska men det var för något år sedan så var kul att läsa om den. Riktigt bra album så hoppas på att tvåan är lika bra!
(404 sidor) Ska jag läsa denna?	Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter: She won’t rest until she’s sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.  Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that’s all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.  Her father was right. The monsters are real….  To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn’t careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies….. Denna måste jag ju bara läsa! Det är ju ändå zombies + retelling! Speciellt då jag inte läste så många i retellingstemat. Sen att jag älskar Alice i Underlandet gör ju inte de hela sämre...
