2009 Challenge #5: The End of the World II

Yahoo! I finished another challenge! This one was hosted by the illustrious Becky, and while I didn't manage to squeak in under the deadline, I did finish it. (Okay, I thought the deadline was the end of October. Sheesh. That one was my fault.)

The books I read:

1. Life As We Knew It, Susan Beth Pfeffer
2. The Stand, Stephen King
3. Extras, Scott Westerfield
4. The Handmaids Tale, Margaret Atwood

My favorite: for pure terror, Life as We Knew It. And for a great introduction to a popular author, The Stand.

Anyway. Thanks, Becky.

I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge :) I need to read The Stand at some point. :)

YAY! Congratulations on completing the challenge :)

I'm in this one too and I think I've completed it as well I just need to go back and look. Have to post reviews of books as well.

I just finished the follow up to Life as We Knew It called The Dead and Gone this past weekend for the Readathon. It was good as well. A little more predictable for obvious reasons (it's the same event from a different person's perspective in a different location) but a decent follow up. I'm interested to see how Pfeffer ties it all up with the third.
