So I thought I'd kick it off with a book tag because they're fun and I need time to read before I can review, haha.
I'm going to be doing the Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag. It was started by Nathan Hale on youtube. The concept is pretty simple:
Pick 5 books
Write down the titles on separate slips of paper and put them in a hat/bowl/recipient of some sort
Select one paper at a time to know which book to pick up
Open that book to a random page
- the first name on that page is a member of your survival team
- do this twice for every book
You will then have a full 10-member team. In order, each character corresponds to a certain type of member. If you're a little confused, just keep reading. You'll get the gist of it soon.
I picked: City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments #6) by Cassandra Clare
Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer
The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter #1) by J.K. Rowling
Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass #3) by Sarah J. Maas [I reviewed Book 1 here!]
Final preparations...
Now, time to assemble the *dream team*
From Heir of Fire
1. The first person to die is ...
Celaena Sardothien
Okay, this could be trouble. She's the most bad-ass female character I've known and if she goes down so fast, I'm not sure about our chances for survival...
2. The person I trip to get away from the zombies is ...
Chaol Westfall
Now I just feel bad. He's one of my favorite characters. I'm sorry for putting my needs above yours Chaol, but I really didn't want those zombies to eat my brains out. I hope you understand.
From Cinder
3. The first person to turn into a zombie is ...
Peony
She's the main character's step sister. I can deal, although it's too bad for her.
4. The person who trips me to get away from the zombies is ...
Prince Kai
I would be offended, but he's a prince so, what more would I expect? He has a world to run, haha.
From Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone
This should be interesting!
5. The "idiot" of the team is ...
Uncle Vernon
Too accurate. Although I'd rather he not be on my team.
6. The "brains" of the team is ...
Professor Quirrell
This isn't fair. I doubt this is a spoiler to you that he turns out to be in cahoots with Voldemort. I'm not sure how I feel about this... Actually, I am. I'm screwed.
From City of Heavenly Fire
7. The team's medic is ...
Clary
I'd feel safe with her as the medic. She's an emphatic character and I think she's take good care of the wounded. Being a shadowhunter wouldn't hurt either!
8. The weapons expert is ...
Luke
YES!!!! I can totally see him a the weapons expert. He's skilled, mature, and has an impressively protective nature. He would handle the zombies and teach us to defend ourselves, no doubt.
From The Perks of Being a Wallflower
9. The brawler is ...
Craig
(Sam's college boyfriend)
I can see this. I didn't like his character much but I could imagine him picking fights and such. He'd probably win too.
Last, but not least
10. The team captain is ...
Patrick
He's a total goofball and yet I'm not too worried. He's caring and I feel like he'd be able to lighten the mood when everyone starts freaking out because of the zombie attack.
So here's my *dream team* for the zombie apocalypse. Not gonna lie, I really hope it doesn't come down to this because, realistically, we wouldn't last long. I mean, sure, we have some great members on the team. But having lost Celaena so soon in the war and having to deal with Uncle Vernon everyday, our chances would be pretty slim.
If any of you have recommendations for other tags I should do or books you'd like me to review, let me know in the comments! You can also contact me through goodreads or twitter.
