Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly blog post hosted by Breaking The Spine . For this week's Waiting On Wednesday I chose Ap oca lypse Cow by Micha el Logan   Expected Publication: May 21 ,2013   If you think you've seen it all -- WORLD WAR Z, THE WALKING DEAD-- you haven't seen anything like the three unlikely heroes who must save Britain . . . from a rampaging horde of ZOMBIE COWS! Forget the cud. They want blood . It began with a cow that just wouldn't die. It would become an epidemic that transformed Britain's livestock into sneezing, slavering, flesh-craving four-legged zombies. And if that wasn't bad enough, the fate of the nation seems to rest on the shoulders of three unlikely heroes: an abattoir worker whose love life is non-existent thanks to the stench of death that clings to him, a teenage vegan with eczema and a weird crush on his maths teacher, and an inept journalist who wouldn't recognize a scoop i...

Author: Carol Lynch Williams Page Count: 224 Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin Expected Publication:April 9,2013 For the teens at The Haven, the outside world, just beyond the towering stone wall that surrounds the premises, is a dangerous unknown.

Everything is strictly monitored: education, exercise, food, and rest.

But Shiloh is different; she remembers everything. Gideon is different, too. He dreams of a cure, of rebellion against the status quo. What if ev...
