Reddit reviews Swan Song

I read a LOT and am always trying to find new collapse fiction. Whenever I see these kind of threads they always list the same 5 novels. To be fair that is because they are great books. Here is a list full of novels you might not know about. Anything you find here is worth reading. Even bad collapse fiction is useful because you can make mental notes of what the characters are doing wrong. I'll try to list them in rough order of best to worst.

would love this book name is aimee. i like the book actually love the book for different reasons. had a best friend. he brought the book over and left it. always talked about it and told everyone how great it was. fast foward a few years... he past away and i finally read it, and it was amazing! earlier this year we had to move and ended up having to leave alot behind. and donating alot of what was not going to be coming with us to goodwill.... sadly this book was one of the things i havent been able to find. i read it every year. would be awesome to have it again. =D

This looks pretty entertaining for only $2.99!

I read a bit further down that you love Stephen King. Have you ever read anything by Robert R. McCammon? Swan Song is one of my favorite books of all time. I haven't read the The Stand yet, but a lot of people say Swan Song is very similar. I was completely wrapped up in the characters and their stories when I read it in high school. I've been thinking I need to re-read it soon!

Also, if you like mysteries I strong recommend Harlan Coben. My favorites by him are The Woods and Tell No One.

Thanks for the contest! I love participating in anything that is responsible for spreading book love!
