Monday Must Reads: THIS IS NOT A TEST by Courtney Summers!


Not familiar with this little feature? It's simple, really. Monday Must Reads! is a feature I created to showcase books that I think you, well, Must Read (ha!).

This week's selection is one that I absolutely loved. Filled with amazing prose, fervent action, and believable characters, it's a novel that holds you till the end. If you haven't already, trust me when I say that you simply Must Read...

THIS IS NOT A TEST
by Courtney Summers
pub date June 2012

product description from goodreads.com

It’s the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won’t stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn’t sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she’s failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up. As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she’s forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually wantto live. But as the days crawl by, the motivations for survival change in startling ways and soon the group’s fate is determined less and less by what’s happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life—and death—inside. When everything is gone, what do you hold on to?

Seriously you guys, if you're like me and are way behind on your TBR lists, move this one up a few pegs and start it now, because it's truly something.
