Starters
Lissa Price
Callie lost her parents when the Spore Wars wiped out everyone between the ages of twenty and sixty. She and her little brother, Tyler, go on the run, living as squatters with their friend Michael and fighting off renegades who would kill them for a cookie. Callie's only hope is Prime Destinations, a disturbing place in Beverly Hills run by a mysterious figure known as the Old Man.
He hires teens to rent their bodies to Enders—seniors who want to be young again. Callie, desperate for the money that will keep her, Tyler, and Michael alive, agrees to be a donor. But the neurochip they place in Callie's head malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her renter, living in her mansion, driving her cars, and going out with a senator's grandson. It feels almost like a fairy tale, until Callie discovers that her renter intends to do more than party—and that Prime Destinations' plans are more evil than Callie could ever have imagined
I love school settings like HP or Hex Hall
ReplyDeletePost apocalyptic book that could actually happen? Ummm... not any that I've read...
ReplyDeleteGosh, I can't even think of any. This is so far-fetched even, but... Ender's Game?
Hmm...the Lunar Chronicles, maybe? Except without the fantasy elements :P
ReplyDeleteFahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. Not books but still thought it's possible: Equilibrium or the Animatrix (basically robots rebel).
ReplyDeleteThese probably aren't probable, but still worth mentioning: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan).
Fahrenheit 451 seems like it could happen.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read any post-apocalyptic books
ReplyDeleteUmmm, tough question. How about The Last Survivors series by Susan Beth Pfeffer. I love this series. If something like that happened now, I'd definitely try my hardest to survive and protect my family. I'd totally freak out too.

ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the only post-apocalyptic books I've read are The Maze Runner series (that counts, right?) I mean, it could happen - we can't exactly control what the sun does. My go-to survival tactic is always to hide it out and play defense to just last as long as I can.
ReplyDeleteSince I haven't read too many I'm gonna say Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. Then at least we could hope for a happy ending :D
ReplyDeleteHmm. I haven't read as much Dystopian fiction as I'd like but I could see quite a few things in Orwell's 1984 happening, sadly...
ReplyDeleteA good question, no one book, one certain elements could happen. My Mother is always on at me because I don't have a survival kit. I should put one together just in case.
ReplyDeleteI think the Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver could really happen. If I was suddenly placed in that world, I'd try to join the resistance, but would probably be killed or cured before I could do so. Otherwise, I think The Lunar Chronicles might work.
ReplyDeleteI don't know... I think it will be completely unique if it does happen. I haven't read very much post apocalyptic books.
ReplyDeleteI'm legend, or a zombie apocalyptic world
ReplyDeleteumm... *shrugs* I don't know I haven't read many post apocalyptic books
ReplyDeleteThe hunfer game
ReplyDeleteI would just try not to enter in the games haha
I can't think of any. Perhaps Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin? We'd have to take better care of the environment.
ReplyDeleteMost post-apocalyptic books I've read haven't been very realistic. I'm going to go with the Hunger Games.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know
ReplyDeletePost-apocalyptic books that seemed like it could possibly happen.. Hmmmmm.. Blindness by José Saramago,The Road by Cormac McCarthy and Divergent by Veronica Roth are the ones that immediately cross my mind. I have no idea how would I act thrown in that kind of society.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a giveaway! :)
