I have had some great YA reads this year - so there WILL ... #123 - I thought The Forest of Hands and Teeth was actually supposed to be well-written. Like the Margo Lanagan one - Tender morsels - or Patrick Ness. ... YA books are in a conspiracy to create more people who will believe writers like Brown are wonderful.

Uglies. I'm sure most of you have heard about this one. It's YA and worth reading for scifi/fantasy folks.
Forest of Hands and Teeth. Another YA scifi/fantasy genre book. I really liked it, but it's in first person and so internalized that I'm not sure guys would like it. Well ... dup Finished Uglies. It's YA and worth reading for scifi/fantasy folks.

Someone's been reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth!
I almost felt bad for that little zombie. ... or it will occur at a set time after incubation? I know, normally, zombies get infected and turn nearly immediately but in Forest of Teeth and Hands it could take several days.
I'll be watching my 3 coworkers who got the shot yesterday very very carefully in the coming week. Just started listening to Forest of Teeth and Hands. It's a pretty good read aloud.
Me daughter and I will start Coraline on disk tonight as well. Wow.
Mine were Running Blind by Lee Child (a Jack Reacher Novel) and Forest of Hands and Teeth a young adult zombie novel.
Similarities:
1) err... people died in both
2) I read them each in one day
3) both the main characters kissed someone
That's about it that's common. And, finally, number 50 The Forest of Hands and Teeth
I picked a good one to be my 50th! It was fast and engaging and 'believable' The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
read in Feb. '09
Marho Lanagan's new novel, Tender Morsels, is said to be good. As is The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. I didn't like Prachett's Nation either. Finished the graveyard Book and loved it. Almost finished forest of hands and teeth and really enjoying this too ... definitely not as pop culture funny as some of his other books. I liked it a lot, though. Four stars.
