Post Apocalyptic Fiction Recs

Hey reader friends. So, we're all in the same boat right now - social distancing and self-isolating and all that lovely stuff.  You're probably getting a little antsy and looking for something to pass the time. If you've finished all your work from home tasks, or your on leave, or you just need a new book to read, here are some recommendations!

The Rot and Ruin Series - Jonathan Maberry
The Walking Dead Graphic Novels
The Last Man - Mary Shelley
The Zombie Survival Guide - Max Brooks

Also, check out these booktube channels for some more recs! 

If you have some apocalypse books you love, tell me about them! Drop some recs in the comments below.

My Zombie Apocalypse Team

Hey reader friends!  HAPPY OCTOBER!

Today, I am bringing you Literary Characters that would be on my Zombie Apocalypse team!  This post idea came from a list of prompts by Kelly over at Another Book In The Wall!

1. Tom Imura - Rot and Ruin Series.  If you've read these books, you know what happens to Tom.  That being said, I'd still have him on my team to fight the zombies.

2. Mad Eye Moody - Ok, so we all know Mad-Eye is, well, mad.  BUT, let's face it - having one of the best auror's ever on your side?  SO WORTH IT.

3. Baghra - sure, she was, you know, the Darkling's mother. But she's one bad ass lady, and she'd kill some zombies like it's going out of style.

4. Nina Zenik - I don't think I need to go into the details.  She kicks ass, and she has to help kill all the zombies.

5. Inej Ghafa - the baddest badass of all badass ladies - she'd be killing zombies before we could even know what was going on.

Ok, reader friends - your turn. If you had to pick some literary characters to be on your zombie apocalypse team, who would you pick?

My Favorite Book Characters Vs. The Zombie Apocalypse

When faced with a zombie apocalypse, how quickly would your favorite book characters last?  I picked out some of my favorite book characters and rated them!  Let's see how long I think each one would last.

1. Luna Lovegood

On a scale of 1 to dead as soon as zombies strike, I'd rate Luna a 9.  She's fierce but flighty and she'd get lost from a group of survivors easily.  She'd be dead inside a week. 

2. Alina Starkov

Alina is pretty bad ass.  I think she would survive a long time - at least a year, probably longer.

3. Fred Weasley

Fred is pretty awesome with the pranks and the Weasely's Wizard Wheezes.  HOWEVER, I think that Fred would be bitten off fairly quickly.  I'd give him 4 to 6 months. 

4. George Weasley

George, wonderful and talented as he is, would probably meet the same fate as his twin soon.  I give him the same time span as Fred. 

5. Kaz Brekker

Kaz is bad ass.  I mean?!??!  However, I think his mobility issues would make it hard for him to hide from zombies for too long.

6.Tris Prior

Tris is bad ass.  I mean - she left her parents and joined Dauntless in her choosing ceremony, hid her divergence for how long, and did so much more!  I give her a year, maybe longer.

7. Hermione Granger 

The beaded bag, the punching Draco Malfoy in the face, all the help she gave her friends over the years. She'd be one of the last two die.  I'd give her at least 2 years - but probably more.

8. Katniss Everdeen 

It's Katniss!  She survived 2 hunger games, killed President Coin and put up with all sorts of stuff from Haymitch and everybody else.  She's going to be the last survivor.  Every other person in the world will die before Katniss.
