Look who’s back joining reading challenges!
In line with my pledge to read 100 books this year, I spiced up my reading plans by participating in online challenges. Note that I’m still on a book-buying ban and joining challenges like this would help me get over my TBR pile.
You may want to know I was into zombies last year, what with The Walking Dead, my George Romero movie nights (alone!), and many reading materials about our not-so friendly shambling friends. I decided that I want them to stay so I joined Book Chick City’s Zombie Challenge for 2012.
The rules for this challenge are very simple.
Timeline: 01 Jan 2012 – 31 Dec 2012• Rules: There are FOUR (4) LEVELS to choose from:- One Chomp: Read 6 Zombie books in 2012- Two Chomps: Read 12 Zombie books in 2012- Three Chomps: Read 18 Zombie books in 2012- Four Chomps: Read 24 Zombie books in 2012For more information about the challenge, please visit this site.
I decided to join level 2, Two Chomps, and read 12 zombie books in 2012. I checked my book list and I have 10 zombie-related books I can gobble up for this challenge. I’m two books short but I’m pretty sure when I start buying books by July, I’ll be adding more to my zombie-themed books. Here are the ones I will read to fulfill this challenge:
- Feed (Newsflesh Trilogy #1) – Mira Grant
- The Dead Tossed Waves (The Forest of Hands and Teeth #2) – Carrie Ryan
- World War Z – Max Brooks
- Cell – Stephen King
- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – Seth Grahame-Smith
- Rot and Ruin – Jonathan Maberry
- The Zombie Survival Guide – Max Brooks
- Monster Island – David Wellington
- Monster Nation – David Wellington
- Monster Planet – David Wellington
As to the ones I plan to buy towards the end of the year, I can name only three at this time:
- Warm Bodies – Isaac Marion
- Deadline (Newsflesh Trilogy #2) – Mira Grant
- The Dark and Hollow Places (The Forest of Hands and Teeth #3) – Carrie Ryan
I will make this a sticky post every time I need to update it with my zombie books read. Let’s chomp away!

FEED. <3 Love, love, love that book. I hope you enjoy reading it!
Halfway done with Feed and I love it already!!! It has lots of elements I like – zombies, journalism/social media, dystopia, political campaign – can’t wait to finish it. I must also include Deadline in my to-buy list!
