Are you hearing REM?  Because I’m totally hearing REM right now.

**clears throat**

Ahem, yea back to task at hand.  And what is that task you ask?  To get my challenge post up for the It’s the End of the World II Challenge.

So what you may not know about me is I love a good disaster/apocolypse story.  I think I’ve seen I Am Legend over 50 times (what it’s on cable and I can’t resist it when it’s on) oh so yea, end of the world stuff I kinda like it.  That is why this challenge appeals to me.

So here are the deets:eow

Becky from Becky’s Book Reviews runs this awesome challenge, spanning March 10, 2009 – October 9, 2009, in which participants are asked to read four books where the primary theme is the end of the world. The rules are more completely outlined in her challenge post (linked above) so head over to check it out if interested.  The four books I’ve chosen to read for the challenge are:

The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins [complete]
Life as We Knew It – Susan Beth Pfeffer
Uglies – Scott Westerfeld
Wastelands (Stories of the Apocolypse) – John Joseph Adams

So pack up your canned goods, gas up your generator, and get ready for the apocolypse because just like Michael Stipe says, it’s the end of the world as we know it.
