Sorry about the late post. (ugh a day late! to be exact)
Carrie Ryan is one of my favorite writers. If I could pick a writer to write like - Carrie would be in my top 3. Why? because I LOVE how she walks the line between commercial and literary. I love that she can write beautifully while having a pacy novel.
Oh yeah and after I met with her
(And Megan Miranda) last fall for lunch (aka Mexican fiesta!), I developed a huge writer crush on her. Not only is she so sweet, but she is hilarious - and you all know how much I love funny, sweet people.
Now, if you have not read this series because you are telling yourself "I am not a zombie person" I want you to know - "I am not a zombie person either!"
But a couple years ago, I happened to watch
Forest of Hands and Teeth trailer on Amazon and it scared the crapola out of me. yet intrigued me so much I bought the book that day. And a) i never read zombie stuff b) hate horror, and 3) hate to be scared like that. But the words on that video pulled me in.And I've read all 3 books happily.
So after just finishing the Arc of TDAHP (which btw the sequels are really companion novels because they follow 3 different characters though they are all connected closely) - here is my shout out:

Ditto! I love Carrie Ryan, I love her books, and I love the way she writes!! :-)
I have yet to discover her! Sounds like a great read. :)
I loved the Forrest of Hands and Teeth. I haven't read the others yet, but I'm sure they're just as beautiful. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I would call any other zombie book beautiful.
I've been too much of a wimp to read these books - but sounds like I need to go ahead and dive in!
I have to read the last two books in the series. And I need to follow her advice of writing a chapter a day after a day of being a lawyer.
Just about ready to read part 1. So excited parts 2 and 3 are already out! :D
