A to Z Challenge 2023 -Z

Welcome to day twenty six of the A-Z Challenge and today’s letter is Z.

The A-Z Challenge involves blogging every day except Sundays and each day corresponds to a letter of the alphabet. The daily posts most relate to that letter and can all have a theme or can be totally random. My theme this year is Recommended Reading, where I will share three to five books for each letter that I have really enjoyed and think more people should read.

I have tried to have a mix of authors and genres but you will notice some real favourites occurring more than once. The posts do contain affiliate links (don’t worry, they don’t affect you in any way but if you want to know more, check the end of the post). Below you will find today’s chosen books:

Zoo by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge

Zoo is a story about animals beginning to communicate effectively across species and coming together to take down the humans, which, if we’re honest, isn’t the worst thing that could happen to the planet. This story feels scarily plausible. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.

The next two books are cheats – I just haven’t read that many books that have titles starting with Z so I have chosen books that have Z anywhere in the title and it was still really hard!

World War Z by Max Brookes

I’ll be honest – I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book, but I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find a Z book. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t terrible, but it featured a lot of excerpts from different people’s stories and I was waiting for them all to come together and give the book some sort of ending, but that didn’t happen. They just remained as random extracts and the book just stopped rather than ended. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.

Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell

Frozen Charlotte is a book aimed at young adults but it’s still a good read for adults. It’s quite creepy in parts and has plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. To read the blurb or buy the book, click here.
