    I have read The Fifth Wave and Warm Bodies. I love post-apocalyptic and dystopian reads. Might I suggest; The Newsflesh trilogy, Wanderers and The Passage.

    I don't know that I've read any books where the world is ending, but I have read post-apocalyptic. I read several of Kit Rocha's romance stories. I also enjoy the Junkyard Cats series by Faith Hunter (sci-fi), and if you want fun, try the Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse series by Jim C Hines.

Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish  in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. The September 2nd, topic for Top Ten Tuesday is jobs with Occupations in the title but despite my best efforts, I could not find 10 books that I would like to list so I decided to go rogue for the week.  I recently discovered Books Are The New Black's Birthstone Book Covers series and knew that I wanted to participate in September as I am a September baby and thanks to my grandma who was also born in September, I have always had a love for my birthstone - Sapphire.  Here are 10 books with dark blue covers: Have you read any of these? What's your birthstone? Let me know in the comments.
