Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag (Spinette Edition)

I’m what you call the Reader That Judges a Book by its Back Cover. Usuall, I don’t really have time to read books but when I do, I love to read them. So here is a book tag! We were tagged by the reptile who is good at cards, otherwise known as aceshadowdragon.

RULES:

1.Choose five books.

2. Randomly set up your books in order.

3. Flip to a random page in the book and write the first two names you can see.

4.Put the names in the categories listed below in the order you saw them.

5.And…cry at how screwed you are? (I’d rather dream about the bottoms of their feet!)

 

My favorite books that occupy my bookshelf:

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

One Punch Man, Volume 1 by Yusuke Murata

King’s Cage by Victoria Aveyard

Replica by Lauren Oliver (both Lyra and Gemma)

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

 

The First One to Die?

Mickey Mouse, The Da Vinci Code. He is small and insignificant, a tiny detail of Langdon’s watch.

The person you trip to get away from the zombies?

Lyra, Replica. She’s an avid reader, but otherwise has no other redeeming qualities that could wash out her whole “I don’t really do much…” thing. So seeing her as useless, I will do what is appropriate and kick her out of our otherwise capable group of characters. Also her appearance is rather foul (I judge people on looks—it shows how neat or sloppy one is, their living conditions, the amount of money they have, but this is an argument for another time) and a bother to imagine.

The person who trips YOU to get away from the zombies?

Maven, King’s Cage. He is a demented meanie, so he would probably trip all of our zombie survival group. To be more precise, he would do that cliche plan in the movies where one person moves in as bait, and use me as the bait and once the zombie is safely SUCKING ON MY BRAINS, Maven will pass by whistling, using all of my flaws against me to clear his name.

The first person to become a zombie?

Cath, Fangirl. She’s not actually that wimpy, it’s just that I think she would be really nervous in her situation. Most probably, the anxiety will infect her brain before the zombie does, turning her into sweaty fan-fiction writing putty. For a couple of days she will live off a diet of granola bars, which I may remark is pretty impressive, but honestly not as impressive as what the rest of the group will have in store. I imagine her zombie-fication like this: In the middle of the night a zombie will find her snoozing on her computer, playing Kanye West in an attempt to relive her stress, and then eat her!

The idiot of the team?

Levi, Fangirl. Such a power couple aren’t they? The OTP for the zombies! As both of them will die first. He will make up jokes, eat too many survival granola bars, and oddly recite Cath’s fanfiction from memory in blurbs. Even if he is great with Cath, he will annoy the rest of the group to death. Most likely his bad choices will get him to be a zombie with his girlfriend one day.

The brains of the team?

Langdon, The Da Vinci Code. He is a Harvard professor! His various knowledge of symbols, religion, the Renaissance, and conspiracy theories will totally help us in the pursuit of chasing off zombies. Beside his off-the-edge smarts, he has a very well trained eye and can keep lookout for any zombies coming our way. Just don’t get him side tracked with topic of Christianity and he will be a great advisor to our group.

The team’s medic?

72, Replica. Otherwise known as Caelum, this boy will make the best medic. He has seen the nurses do their job at the Haven Institute. Fate picked him for this position is because it had no one else to put here. Good thing I found this little blurb to justify the answer: “He traced the long curve of her earlobe, and then moved a finger down her neck, pressing lightly as though to feel her pulse beating up through his hand. And everywhere he touched, she imagined she was healed. She imagined the disease simply vanishing, evaporating, like water under the sun.” He will heal Lyra, whom I tripped earlier.

The weapons expert?

Evangeline, King’s Cage. Her dresses are deadly. In our zombie survival group she will make us super cool metal dresses to stab the zombies with! We will be like Big Hero 6 except we will be much more stylish, fabulous, and deadly. Doubled with her ability to fling shrapnel, nothing will stop her from being a weapon expert. Hopefully, her rude attitude will not get us into trouble.

The brawler?

Crablante, One Punch Man. He’s big, strong, and has a temper to fit the part! I imagine him crushing zombies out of colossal rage. Also, since he has no brains, he will be a great choice for offense.

The team leader?

Saitama, One Punch Man. This should need no explanation. He can just destroy the armies of zombies with a single punch!

I tag all people who feel like doing this.

 

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End on July 30, 2016.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

 

This book was great!

Scorpius and Albus were so adorable together! I loved their friendship, especially the “do we hug?” moments. (If you haven’t read this, this probably sounds like absolute nonsense.) Scorpius was especially cute and I love the uniqueness that is his name.

I don’t think they were supposed to seem “adorable” or “cute”, though.

It did take a while to get used to the script format, but after I did, I really liked it. It was refreshing.

* MILD SPOILERS BELOW.*

*YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.*

This book did seem more like your average time-travel book rather than a Harry Potter book and it was weird to see all our characters not be in their teens and have their own kids. But Hermione is Minister of Magic!

I am slightly upset that Luna Lovegood isn’t in the story at all. She’s my favorite character.

*SPOILER ZONE HAS ENDED.*

The verdict: 5/5 stars

How could I give Harry Potter any less?
