Top Ten Tuesday

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
 This week's top ten list bloggers get to choose a genre and list their top ten books for that particular genre. 

Top Ten Zombie Books!


1. Hallowland by Amanda Hocking- Absolutely one of my favorites. This book captures the real sense of death and destruction. Also, the heroine is totally kickass and awesome!
2. The Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy by Carrie Ryan- While the first book was a little slow for me, books 2 and 3 really bring on the zombie. And I love me some Elias and Catcher =)

3. Dearly Departed by Lia Habel- Although these aren't your typical zombies (they're good guys!) I loved it all the same. It's really cool seeing a zombie romance. Who knew the undead really had manners?

4. The Enemy by Charlie Higgins- This book is pretty twisted. Its all about kids trying to survive in London after all the adults go crazy and start killing everyone. 

5. The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks- A must read for any zombie fan! It will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know to survive. One of my favorites!

6. Resident Evil series by S.D. Perry- I love the Resident evil video games and movies, so when I saw they were made into books too I picked up the entire series. My love for RE may have made me partial to this series, but there's some great zombie killing in these books. 

7. The Cell by Stephen King- The first Stephen King book I've read and its great. Cell phone waves turn people into mindless drones who kill and destroy everything. It's pretty scary and will make you want to put down that phone. 

8. World War Z by Max Brooks- Another Brooks book with some insanely good zombie stories. It's being made into a movie too, so you know it had to have been great. 

9. As the World Dies trilogy by Rhiannon Frater- OK, so I'm cheating on this one, because I own the books but haven't read them yet. BUT I've only heard amazing reviews for them so I'm adding them to the list. I've got to start them soon!
10. The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman- This is another series I technically haven't read, but am in LOVE with the show on AMC. I know the story lines don't match up exactly, but if it has to do with zombies and created my new favorite show, then the comics have to be incredible. 

Ok so there are a ton more zombie books out there, but these are some of my favorites. PLEASE leave suggestions of more zombie books that you think I'd love!

    These are great choices! If you like zombie books you should try Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. I am not a zombie lover and I really enjoyed this book! Here is my Top Ten

      One of my roommates read Warm Bodies and said it was really great too. And I heard that it might be made into a movie too so I'll have to read that before its on the big screen! Thanks for the recommendation!

    GREAT list! The Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy would top my list! I love those books to pieces, especially The Dark and Hollow Places. Carrie writes so beautifully that it leaves my stomach in knots sometimes... I would have also included Jonathan Maberry's Rot & Ruin series.

      LOVED the Dark and Hollow Places. I think that one was my favorite of all three. And you're so true, Carrie Ryan writes beautifully even when it is about the undead =) I'll have to give Rot and Ruin a try. Thanks for the recommendation!

      So many people have been telling me that! I really need to reorganize my TBR pile and put them on top. I'm due for another zombie read anyway =)

    Oh I don't like zombies, I can't watch zombie movies and I don't know how well I will be able to handle reading about them. This might be more of a list for me to stay away from
