TOP 5 BOOKS I WOULD TAKE WITH ME DURING A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

You should know by now that I am currently obsessed with this book. If not, then this post proves it. I'm not entirely sure how helpful this would be during a zombie apocalypse, but hey, at least it might offer some encouragement and brief happiness.

What to do when the zombies invade? Pretend I'm Harry Potter, grab a broomstick, and try to make it fly me away to a tropical, impenetrable island. Maybe figure out how to produce fire from a wooden stick while I'm at it. Of course, the book itself is pretty gripping, so maybe it'd be something to distract me during the lonely nights.

Before everyone freaks out (what? A Stephenie Meyer book? You serious?), I'd like to add that I've enjoyed all of her books.
Actually, no, I take that back; I strongly disliked Breaking Dawn. The movie was so much better.
Still, Stephenie Meyer isn't famous for just the Twilight Saga. I thought The Host (soon to be a movie, by the way) was much better, the characters way better developed, and the plot far more interesting. Plus, it has to do with aliens taking over the world. Do I see a relation here with the zombies?

4. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.
A book for encouragements and snarky comebacks, in case I need them for the zombies. Also, a book for some fast-paced action. A book for a brief escape to a world without zombies and mummies (as Jace helpfully pointed out). And if things get bad, I could just pretend that the Shadowhunters would swoop in and save me (and then bring me to an Institute, where they would tell me that I'm actually a Shadowhunter myself. How cool would that be?*)

It's a book on survival--even if it's fiction and has absolutely nothing to do with zombies--so it's pretty self-explanatory. Despite its lack of zombies and apocalyptic action (and the fact that it isn't an apocalyptic book at all), it might still be useful to me. I mean, if I happen to get stuck in the wilderness...
So that's it! The five books I would take with me if zombies were to come and decide to rule the world. What's on your list?

Oh. And I finished my pre-God.
* Upon second thought, being a Shadowhunter would not be all that cool. Aside from the fighting skills and seraph blades and steles and marks, I suspect it would be unappealing. Killing demons, and maybe dying at a young age? I think I'll pass right now...
1. YES
ReplyDelete2. YES
3-5 Never read them.
I'd take TFioS, Looking for Alaska, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (I have both in one copy), The Hunger Games, aaaaand The Secret Garden.
You should definitely read City of Bones ^-^ (It's really not necessary to read The Host, but I guess it really depends on whether or not you really liked the Twilight Saga--or I guess if you want to survive a zombie apocalypse o.o). I highly recommend it.
DeleteLooking for Alaska! The Secret Garden! Both great books (and I've never read Through the Looking Glass, but I have read Alice). Oh, and The Hunger Games. Makes sense :]
THE HOST! I love the Host. Also, they're making a movie?? *faints* That's awesome.
ReplyDelete(Also, I agree that maybe Shadowhunting is better in books. I prefer life to death in general.)
They are :D coming 2013, I think.
Delete(Great to read about...not as fun to be)
I only read the first three. good choices. TFIOS is a really sad and moving and funny book I would definitely bring HP 7. and HP and the goblet of five and hourglass by claudia gray.
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty good choices as well :] I loved Goblet of Fire and Hourglass. I haven't read the most recent book in Claudia Grey's series though :3
DeleteI really, really want to read "The Fault In Our Stars". I have heard so many awesome things about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely with you on "City of Bones". I love the Mortal Instruments series! :)
MI books are definitely great, as are the ID books ^-^ I cannot wait for the City of Bones movie to come out.
DeleteI feel so accomplished because I have read all five of these. :D
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about The Host being better written than the Twilight Saga.
Yay! Not many people I know have read Hatchet, unfortunately.
DeleteMaybe because it was intended for adults? Hmm.
