Zombies! All our undead posts in one place

June 3, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS   2 comments

As a zombie fan, I have posted here about zombies multiple times.  In preparation for October, I thought I would put them all in one place for you.  I am very considerate like that.  See, I care about you.  They include fun booklists, programming ideas. and a discussion I had with my then pre-teen daughter about why people like zombies.  She was understandably confused on the issue.


What’s the Deal with Zombies Anyway?


The post in which I try to explain to my then 8-year-old why people would even be interested in reading and watching these scary, decaying creatures that want to eat your brains.  Spoiler alert: it’s only kind of about the zombies.

Top 10 Survival Tips I Learned from Reading YA
Look, my chances are not good in a post-apocalyptic world.  I like to lie in bed, read a book and drink pop with either my air conditioning or heater on.  I don’t like to cook.  I do not take my indoor plumbing for granted.   Should the apocalypse happen, however, I have learned these 10 tips for survival which I am now going to share with you.  See, even zombie books are educational.

So if you want to talk zombies, leave a comment.  Share your favorite zombie reads, your zombie apocalypse survival tips, programming ideas and more.  And remember, don’t let them eat your brains!
