June Random Read - The New Hunger by Isaac Marion

It's time for my June Random Read (a fun meme hosted by I'm Loving Books). The idea is to pick one random book out of your Goodreads To-Read list (using Random.org) to read within the month.  

Can I just tell you that I am in love with this meme?!  Since I've started blogging, I've added so many books to my TBR list that I know it's impossible for me to read them all.  Somehow, it makes me feel better to know that each month, I will be picking one book from that crazily long TBR list at random so every book on the list has a chance that it might be read this month.  I LOVE that!  Am I crazy?  Probably.  But, I think way more people should participate in this meme.  Seriously - try it out and then tell me if I'm the only weird one who gets a serious sense of satisfaction from it!

This month's winner is...

Okay, the ironic thing is that I wrote that gushing praise for Random Reads and then I let Random.org do its thing and then...I wasn't so sure if I liked the result.  Book #503 was chosen for me, which happens to be The New Hunger by Isaac Marion.  This isn't even really a novel, but an ebook novella prequel to Warm Bodies, which I just recently read and reviewed.  I just didn't feel excited about it.  I was even more frustrated when I realized that I can only get this book from a site called ZolaBooks (no Amazon?).

But then I read the blurb and, well, I'm interested.  In fact, I'm really looking forward to reading it!  I mean I put it on my TBR list for a reason, right?  And I am nothing if not dedicated to this meme - not knowing what you're going to get is part of the fun!  So, here goes.  I'll let you know what I think!

I almost forgot to say - last month my random read was Masque of the Red Death, which I liked but didn't love (you can read my review here).
