I really enjoyed that one. The final book of the series is out now but I haven't read it yet.

[Sally906]

I have just finished my 3rd book: The Last Shot by Michael Adams - no review yet as not due out for a few more weeks but a 5 star read.

I liked Insurgent too but Allegiant felt like a very different book to the first two.

I have now read World Made by Hand I gave 3 stars and just finished The Waste Lands and I gave it a 5. He sucked me in with "Oy". I will read a book on my TBR as its due back at the library next week and then I will get into UnWholly

It is one that I enjoy reading again and again..I really enjoy all of Terry Pratchett's books. He has such a great imagination.

Me too. I keep promising myself one day I will go back to The Color of Magic and read them all again. My favourite characters are Luggage and Death.

I really like the witches and Death. Especially when death decides to take a vacation in Reaper Man

[Heather]

I completed Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1)
Been so busy it took me 1 1/2 weeks to finish. Quite enjoyed it will add Shift Omnibus Edition (Silo, #2) to my wanted to read list

Gosh, just read my last post and realised that it sounded really bad! I didn't mean that it was excellent that China was decimated - just that the Formics have arrived and starting decimating the population and land where they landed (just happened to be China!).

China was decimated! FANTASTIC BOOK!!

[Jackmeister]

I've read my post apocalyptic book which was After: The Shock by Scott Nicholson, I gave it 3 stars, it was ok and I will read the sequel which is After: The Echo, I feel I should see it through.

[Chris]

Finished Divergent last night. 5★

Absolutely loved it.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I still intend to read World After if there is still a world after I finish reading my current book. It is taking so long!

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Technically didn't read it for the challenge, but just finished Dust.

[Amber]

I read The Girl with All the Gifts last week and just realised that it qualifies me for the February Challenge. I didn't know anything about the story and didn't even read the cover blurb before I started it, so it was actually a bit of a surprise to me that it was post-apocalyptic. I don't want to spoil the plot for anyone so I'll leave it at that :-)
★★★★

I have that one here Amber, I didn't realize that about it either! I might be able to fit it in;)

[Sally906]

Finished The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey last night - which is my final February challenge book. Haven't done a review yet though.

So all up I read 4 books:
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
Red Queen by Honey Brown
The Last Shot by Michael Adams - review to follow a bit closer to publication
The Giver by Lois Lowry

Added to my TBR! Seems like zombies!?

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished World After which is my second book for this challenge. I liked it nearly as much as Angelfall.

Well done Sally! Great effort:)

[Marianne]

I'm in the last book of Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1) so I can see I won't get any other books read for this challenge, but I can see this one will get 5★s and the Shift Omnibus Edition (Silo, #2) and Dust will go onto my TBR. I am supposed to be tidying up my house but the book keeps calling me over to read a bit more..... there, I can hear it again!

I am just over half-way through this one. Lil' Paige ♥

[Marianne]

So, finished Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1) definitely 5★s
and now have Shift Omnibus Edition (Silo, #2) from the library and will borrow Dust when the list of reserves whittles down a bit

[Ben]

I finished Dr. Bloodmoney (3 stars) and am racing through Robopocalypse as well.

Glad to see so much love for Wool, I heartily encourage everyone to read Shift, which was my favourite of the series.

[Ashleigh]

Finished my #3 book for this challenge.
World After ☆☆☆☆

I loved Paige & Pooky Bear. They were the stars for me.

[Chris]

Finished another 5★ read. The Hunger Games. Now going to twiddle my thumbs until tomorrow. ;-)

Congratulations to all challenge achievers in our Post Apocalyptic challenge:) Bring on the March challenge!

[Sally906]

Not here it's not!! 6 1/2 here;) I didn't realize you were 2 hours behind us Sally!

[Sally906]

We are 1 and 1/2 hours behind - its 15 mins to home time - I am anxsious to get out of here - my brain is fried so probably miscounted on my fingers. I need to put my feet up with a glass of wine and a good book!

Have 3 books that I am more than half way through so my goal is to get them finished this weekend.

It is now 4 pm so is now 8 hours till March :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's better....I thought 1.5hrs;) Enjoy your wine and book! Exactly what I'm doing now:)
