I just stumbled on this in my daily Goodreads update review. The title made me smile (and sing) and the blurb made me curious. To-read pile updated!

This post may or may not have just beenan excuse to post a picture of Claudia Blackon our blog. Image by Morhain-stef It’s been a few months since I stepped into this wonderful world of audiobooks and I continue to love it.

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks The thing that sets this zombie story apart from the others I’ve experienced is right there in the title: WORLD War Z.
