6.) The Dead and the Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer
I think Susan Beth Pfeffer intends to just rip my heart out...and not even tie up any loose ends to make me feel better.
And I think I like that. ... media specialist at our school, she says it is absolutely hilarious and a quick, easy read.

9. I didn't realise that there was a second book. Will be tracking down The Dead and the Gone when I get a chance. Thanks. I've also recently read this one and I have the next book The dead and the gone which is about a different family, but didn't feel like jumping straight into it. I've just finished The Carbon Diaries 2015 which has more humour in it even though the weather gets pretty grim.

Next up is Little Brother and then The Boyfriend List by E Lockhart. I also have Life As We Knew It and The Dead and The Gone on my TBR list.

I concur, Life as We Knew It affected me more so than The Dead and the Gone. Just a thought for you disaster junkies, try Meg Rosoff's How I Live Now. >122 Is the Dead and Gone that you are reffering to about when the moon comes too close to the earth?

The Dead and Gone (Currently Reading)
I am also looking forward to in a big way Breaking Dawn, less then 2 weeks away!! I am getting ready to start in on the dead and the gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer, having just finished Life as We Knew It. I've also picked up The Serpent Gift by Lene Kaaberbol and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney. >13
If you click on the link to Life as We Knew It or The Dead and the Gone the reviews and descriptions will tell you what the books are about. But basically, an asteroid hits the moon, which causes tidal flooding, power cuts and general collapse of infrastructure. Have you read Life as We Knew It? I think The Dead and the Gone is about the same disaster, told from the perspective of someone in New York City. There is a sequel, too. It's called The Dead and the Gone. #110 - Did you know there is a new sequel to Life As We Knew It? I just got it for our school library. It's called The Dead and the Gone. The Dead and the Gone!!
I honestly 100% confirm that I most certainly did not look in your library for that bit of information, hehehehe! That would have taken forever. The secret will not be told! :P~~~ #110-i have read it too and it is amazing, i'm going to read the dead and the gone which is the second in the series.
