Entertaining read? Check. Great cover art? Check. (Admit it, it's important!) Lots of zombies and unicorns? CHECK!If you'd like to read something not so serious over winter break--something you can easily set aside and resume between distractions and read in any order... this book's for you!
Zombies vs. Unicorns is an anthology of irreverent short stories written by some of the most popular young adult authors around. Holly Black (Team Unicorn) and Justine Larbalestier (Team Zombie) began a debate on their respective blogs about which supernatural being is better. The debate went viral and soon the entire YA writing community seemed to be divided! Long story short--this turned into a book. Half the stories argue for zombies, half the stories argue for unicorns--leaving you, the reader, to decide this question "as old as time itself."

Wish I had time to read 800 pages before 12/31 - I certainly have a LOT more than that on my TBR.
p.s. Love Holly Black, but haven't checked out her Unicorn treatise yet. :)
That would be a lot of pages to cover by the end of December. Fortunately, we're not THAT extreme! The winter reading program runs through Jan 31 (hope I put in the correct date...) Still a lot to read, but that might help. :)
Have you read White Cat or the Tithe series, Susan? I've read the Good Neighbors graphic novel series and enjoyed the gothic artwork and storyline.
I must have New Year's on the brain! Well, I should read 800 pages by the end of January, regardless!
I've read White Cat and love world Black's drawn with charm-workers and retro-history. I'll have to check out the Tithe series ... :)
I've read about 300 pages or so, which makes me feel good. I will have to look into this White Cat novel and I too enjoyed the Good Neighbors. I'm realling looking forward to this new book called Life, Liberty, and Pursuit...I hear the author is really cool!
