So here is my book for this weeks Wishlist Wednesday:
Goodreads Synopsis:
In the zombie-infested,
post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must
find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in
half. Benny doesn’t want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his
boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job
whacking zoms for cash—but what he gets is a vocation that will teach
him what it means to be human.
Acclaimed horror author Jonathan Maberry makes his young adult debut with this detail-rich depiction of a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has fallen, the dead have risen, and danger is always imminent.

I can now hold my hand up and say "yes, I Jenny, am now a fully fledged lover of zombie books!" The last few books I've read in this genre to name but a few - The Forest of Hands & Teeth series by Carrie Ryan, Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel and the more recent Horizon by Sophie Littlefield has certainly whetted my appetite for more. Believe me I would never have thought it :P Rot & Ruin has been recommended to me by so many zombie loving readers that I think it's high time it went on the wishlist. The cover is really freaky. If you have any other zombie related book recommendations please mention them in the comments :D

Rot & Ruin is absolutely amazing, you have to get it & read it! The sequel was almost as good, too :) Yeah, I need to read more Maberry's books...
Still haven't read Ryan's & Lia's books, but I loved Sophie's Aftertime, although I still haven't read both sequels. The Doomsday Vault by Steven Harper is also one of my favs - it's steampunk with zombies. Warm Body by Isaac Marion was surprisingly pretty great, too. Dark Inside by Jeyn Roberts isn't quite with zombies, but it's similar great post-apocalyptic. These are all I can think about at this moment. If I think of others, I'll let you know. You need to get Rot & Ruin soon :)
Yeah, ok, I meant Warm Bodies - plural :)
Another zombie book, Jen? What has happened to you? ;P
It's all good - I've been after a couple myself, recently! I hope you get this soon :) Let me know if it's any good!

My WOW and WW
I have this on my wishlist too! Glad you're part of the zombie lovers :D

Hi Jenny. I'm a new follower - found you through the blog hop. I love post apocalyptic stories, but I've resisted zombies so far. But the summary of Rot and Ruin is pretty intriguing. I might have to give it a try.
Thanks for all the lovely comments :D Well this one didn't stay on my wishlist for long. I managed to get my hands on a copy today :D
Great pick! I loved Rot&Ruin!
And I second Aleksandra's rec. Warm Bodies is awesome! The best zombie book I've read!
