Oh wow, would you look at that? XD The first tag of the summer!!! Which is a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE BOOK TAG!!!!!! Mwahahahahha. (Actually, it’s not that morbid, I swear. XD It’s actually most fun, and you get to cackle at the end results. Of other people, that is. Or cry at your end results because you’re doomed. If you are doomed, that is.)
At any rate, perhaps I am getting ahead of myself.
*clears throat*
I was recently tagged by the splendiferous Journey Bloomfield for the Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag! I was most baffled when this post popped up in my inbox, actually, because I’m very much the kind of girl who is terrified of zombies. As in, they are my greatest fear, and I’d rather be locked in a room with a thousand spiders than have to face a zombie. Also, I have zero survival skills, so… XD
This tag is a fictional scenario, in which zombies have taken over the world. And now you and a band of randomly picked fictional characters must… defend yourselves, I suppose. And try not to get eaten. Fun, isn’t it?
The TOP SECRET Rules
- Acknowledge and link back to whoever tagged you or whoever you snurched the tag from or whoever you stabbed to death to steal this tag from (quite unnecessary, if I might add.)
- Choose five books of any length.
- Randomly set up thine books in order, however you wish, be it a toppling stack or an aesthetic setup.
- Flip to a random page in the book and write down the first two names you see.
- Put the names in the categories listed below in the order you saw them.
- Cry at how doomed you are.
My five books:
Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan.
Lianna and the Hombit by Valinora Troy.
Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell.
The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo.
Enchantria: Guardian’s Heir by Isabelle Knight. (Oh, look, that’s me! XD)
First Person to Die
Tranton Sambru.
Oh. *weeps* I could see this happening, but it saddens me nonetheless. (And I’m sorry, Valinora!!!!) On one hand, I could see him dying in a zombie apocalypse, but on the other, I feel as though he’s a pretty smart fellow! (I do not know about his survival skills though, since I have an inkling book smarts and survival smarts are not exactly the same.)
The First Person You Trip To Escape the Zombies:
Grover.
What, no!!! Not Grover!!! I wouldn’t trip Grover!! We need Grover!!!! He’s a nice fellow! And he’d be splendid for moral support or enchanting magical vines to suffocate the zombies!!!
The Person Who Trips You To Escape the Zombies:
The Princess Pea.
Oh my, what? XD I do not think the Pea would be the type of person to trip me while escaping the zombies. Twouldn’t be princess-behavior, methinks. Also, she’s such a kind person!!!
The First Person To Turn Into A Zombie:
Christopher Forrester.
Oh no. Not Christopher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He’s so nice!!! And brave!!! *weeps*
The Team Idiot
Queen Rosaleen.
Hey, now that is not fair. Queen Rosaleen is the queen of Enchantria! And probably has quite a great deal of wisdom, be it from wandering the Forbidden Library, the messages the stars have sent her, or just… having general queenly wisdom. I confess she’s not always correct when it comes to some things, but still!! She’s a most wise queen.
The Brains of the Group
Mrs. Dodds.
I can’t decide if this is amazing or if we’re dead.
On one hand, she is fierce. And terrifying. But also really evil. But if she was on our side, she could be helpful. But also, she’s really evil. And so might end up leading us to our doom.
The Team Medic
Gelifen.
…
………….
Look, I love Gelifen. I’m pretty sure he won the “Most Precious Must be Protected” character in the 2025 character awards I did on my blog. He’s such a sweet griffon, so adorable, so loyal to Mal. But he’s a baby griffon. Who eats blocks of cheese and then vomits it out. As adorable as he is, I don’t know how well of a medic he’d be.
The Weapons Expert
Arabella.
Oh, yay!! For the first time, I’m pretty happy with this. XD Arabella would definitely know her weapons, i think. And be able to help us steal weapons, should the need arise. We’d be very well armed. (nod nod)
The Brawler
Miggery Sow.
Uhm……………. I… well… She is not really the brightest apple in the tree. She might not really understand how to use weapons. XD Or she’d try and end up beheading me by accident instead. I… no. No no. Please. Not brawler. We’d be doomed.
The Team Leader
Mrs. Jebbs.
Oh. Okay then. Erm. I guess. XD I wasn’t too taken with her character at first, but she did grow on me throughout the novel. I don’t know how well of a leader she’d be in a zombie apocalypse though. I honestly don’t…
My Zombie Team is….
First Person to Die: Tranton Sambru.
The First Person You Trip To Escape the Zombies: Grover.
The Person Who Trips You To Escape the Zombies: The Princess Pea.
The First Person To Turn Into A Zombie: Christopher Forrester.
The Team Idiot: Queen Rosaleen.
The Brains of the Group: Mrs. Dodds.
The Team Medic: Gelifen.
The Weapons Expert: Arabella.
The Brawler: Miggery Sow.
The Team Leader: Mrs. Jebbs.
All in all, we’re doomed. It was nice knowing y’all, folks. Hallie, it’s up to you to complete Island Keepers now. *claps you on the back* Seeing as Journey and I are both dead. I refuse to die knowing that my novel goes unfinished. As for my WIP… it’s in a first draft state, so just lock it away in a vault when I die, okay? XD
