Why I Would Survive a Zombie Apocalypse–Guest Post

A few weeks ago I wrote a post – about how I would not survive a zombie apocalypse. My son (who’s 11) thought it was funny and wrote a post about why he would survive.


Here’s his post:

Why I Would Survive a Zombie Apocalypse (at least for a couple of days)

1. I have awesome survival skills
2. I can run for a good period of time
3. I am trained in Martial Arts
4. Give me a long stick and I can fight for days
5. I know some edible plants
6. I’m good at archery
7. I’m strong so I could rip off a zombie’s arm and beat him with it.

I had planned to post this yesterday but it was crazy with Halloween activities. I love this post so much I just had to share it:)

To read my post about zombies-

Top Ten Tuesday - Halloween Reads

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the fabulous Broke and the Bookish. 

This week's topic is Top Ten Book to Read for Halloween.

My List:

1. Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. This is a favourite picture book of mine that I look forward to sharing every year.

2. Double Spell by Janet Lunn. I read this when I was 10 and had such nightmares. I don't remember too much about it, other than it scared me.

3. I Don't Want to Be a Pea by Ann Bonwill. This is new and fabulous. Hugo Hippo and Bella Bird can't decide on what they will dress-up as for the costume party- adorable pictures and story.

4. The Dark at the Top of the Stairs by Sam McBratney. A classic story with an interesting twist-can you guess what's terrifying the mice and is at the top of the stairs?

5. Pumpkin Trouble by Jan Thomas. I love this series of picture books by this author. Bright bold illustrations and simple text! 

6. Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. Oh how I love this series. They always gross me out, (i have a bit of a weak stomach) but I love Carrie's writing style.

7. Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann. I still have images popping up in my head from this story...it played like a movie in my mind as I read....maybe I should stay away from creepy, scary books.

8. Choker by Elizabeth Woods. Another one that still pops up in my mind every now and then. Good but creepy.

9. & 10. TommyKnockers and SilverBullet by Stephen King. Does anyone write scarier than Stephen King? He's a gifted story teller but I have to say I wish I hadn't read these ones. I was in my early teens and they totally freaked me out!

What are you reading this Halloween?
