Welcome to the Blogging from A to Z Challenge!
During the challenge I’ll keep posts short and quickly readable
to allow you time to visit as many blogs as possible.
Ready?
Let’s go!!
Today’s letter is
The Book
The Aftermath by Jen Alexander
Our first bad girl is Claudia.
She lives in a post apocalyptic Nashville in which survival is difficult. Predictably,
she discovers that her survival is part of a game called The Aftermath. I know, it sounds a
bit like a combo of Hunger Games and Divergent. But I like the idea of girl survivors so
let’s hope Bad Girl Claudia survives.
What will she do to survive?
Come back tomorrow for our next Bad Girls Book Club.

Hello from the A to Z Challenge! I’ve read through both the Hunger Games series and the Divergent series… so this might be up my alley.
Yay for bad girls right?
Greetings from the A-Z Challenge. I don’t read a lot of fiction and considering I re-read “Winnie The Pooh” this week to write a letter to AA Milne, I’m probably in a zone all of my own. Enjoy the challenge xx Rowena
awww who doesnt love Pooh?
I have read the Hunger Games and enjoyed the series, so I may give this a try.

Gotta love katniss! or not.
I read Divergent yet to get to Hunger Games. Will chk out Aftermath too.
Yeah I like Tris so much better than Katniss.
I like post apocalyptic books so this sounds like it could be fun π
They’re the best, right?
Interesting premise. Loved both the Hunger Games and Divergent. Good luck with this.
Happy A to Z!
When I was younger I used to love dystopian fiction, these days I prefer more escapist topics π Nevertheless Claudia sounds like a feisty young lady.

Any book is an escape. except maybe homework.
Hi there!
I’m definitely a fan of kick-ass female characters, not wishy-washy ‘rescue-me’ types!
Hope you enjoy the A-Z challenge. I’m just hoping to survive!

I’m so not into dystrophia. I know that’s not a popular opinion, but I feel that what you put out into the universe is what you get. I don’t want Pollyanna, but I do want uplifting and hopeful.
There is nothing wrong with what you like CL. There are times when i like an uplifting book as well.
Maybe this is one of those, “If you liked Divergent and Hunger Games, try… Aftermath!”
It’s going on my TBR. π
I haven’t read the books but I’ve enjoyed the movies so maybe it’s time I add them to my to-read list. I will check out Aftermath too. I can see this A to Z Challenge is going to keep me busy making notes from all the cool stuff I am learning! Happy April 1.
Great post. Look forward to hearing more. I love a ‘bad’ girl story. Happy weekend.
Bad girl stories? Sounds great!
I love all kinds of girls – bad, good and everything in between, and that goes for guys as well π
Best,

Maybe it will be better than either of those books?
Does the Aftermath have to do with country music? Because I don’t think I would survive that…
Um, no?
Sounds like my kind of read!
I will definitely check out the book! Thanks for the suggestion.
I love having a strong woman as a protagonist. As an older chick, I notice and feel how women how so much of the women’s movement has yet to happen.
WE have come so far but there is still quite a ways to go. for sure.
There are quite a few strong women in novels I have read recently. These days I think more of the guys need a leading lady to lead them. I like that things are more equal in fiction.
Cuz we are THE BOSS of everything?
Love this theme, and I will probably pick up quite a few books too.
Always room for one more, eh Rhonda?
Even though I don’t read this genre, the book sounds interesting.
Thanks for the introduction.
Shalom,

Shout out for the bad girls! π
Loved Divergent series. Should probably start with Hunger Games!
BAD GIRLS!!!!!!!
I’ll make a note of this book, since a lot of my students ask for books similar to the Hunger Games. π
excellent!
Looking forward to an alphabetical month of bad girls! You’re off to a great start.
Thank ya Claire.
Interesting! Heading to B to read what happened next.
Thanks for visiting Parul from the the other side of the world!
