Book Tag Tuesday | The Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag

I was tagged a little while ago by the lovely Beth @ Reading Every Night to do this insanely fun book tag! Thanks so much, Beth, this one’s going to be fun. Who doesn’t like to imagine how things would play out during a zombie apocalypse?? If you haven’t already, please check out Beth’s wonderful blog and bookish posts!

Also, thank you Jill at Rant and Rave About Books for creating this cool tag and image!

The Rules:

• Choose 5 books!
• Randomly set up your books in order.
• Flip to a random page in the book and write the first two names you see.
• Put the names in the categories listed below in the order you saw them!
• Cry at how screwed you are…

My Books

The First Person to Die:

Prince Kai

from Cress | Marissa Meyer

Well…..I know this sounds bad, buuuut I don’t think we’re really at a loss here. Kai’s fairly good with diplomacy, but you can’t negotiate with zombies and I don’t think he possesses any form of combative skills. So, it’s all good. Sorry Kai. We’ll keep you in our memories.

The Person You Trip to Escape the Zombies:

Dr. Erland

from Cress | Marissa Meyer

This kind of works out because I’ve always felt like I wanted to trip him anyways. He’s not a villain, but man, does he get on my nerves. His medical skills, however, would have really come in handy. Chances of survival are looking a little dimmer, guys.

The Person That Trips You to Get Away From the Zombies:

Bella

from Breaking Dawn | Stephanie Meyer

I knew I never liked you, Bella. I know Bella’s not malicious, but I somehow believe she would do this. Especially if Edward were waiting for her. Hell, she’d probably drop kick me to get to him.

---

The Team Idiot:

Charlie (Bella’s Dad)

from Breaking Dawn | Stephanie Meyer

Yeah. Yeah, this makes sense. No question. I mean, he’s not dumb. But, he’s definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. Obtuse. Obtuse is what he is.

---

The Brains of the Group:

Clary

from City of Bones | Cassandra Clare

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

---

The Team Medic:

Isabelle

from City of Bones  | Cassandra Clare

I can’t remember if Isabelle showed any skills in medicine, but since she’s a trained Shadowhunter and she knows how to use healing runes, I’m thinking we’re in good shape! Things are looking up!

---

The Weapons Expert:

Jan Van Eck

from Crooked Kingdom | Leigh Bardugo

Out of all the characters I could have stumbled across, I choose Van Eck. Fate is laughing at me right now. This guy knows a thing or two about economy and strategic planning. But weapons??

I give up. This group is done for.

---

The Team Brawler:

Matthias

from Crooked Kingdom | Leigh Bardugo

Halle-freaking-lujah. Out of the darkness comes a shining bright light. Though I would have preferred Kaz (because he fights dirty – the zombies would have never know what would have hit them), Matthias would have been my second choice. He’s the biggest, the strongest, and probably the most reliable.

---

The First to Turn Into a Zombie:

Tavvy 

from Lady Midnight | Cassandra Clare

Not the baby. NO. How could we have done so terribly as a group that we couldn’t protect the youngest of us?? Well, looking back at the group so far, our chances of keeping a child alive are slim to none. The only thing we got going for us are Matthias and Isabelle, which ain’t too bad, all things considered.

---

The Team Leader: 

Emma

from Lady Midnight | Cassandra Clare

YES! We might actually have a chance of surviving. Emma might be a little rash, and she can be a little dense sometimes, but there’s no denying she’s skilled in both melee combat and battle strategy. She’s a trained Shadowhunter, she’s smarticles, AND she’s got attitude. It’s gonna be alright.

---

All Things Considered…

My group is a little on the shabby side but it’s got a few good things going for it, namely the two adept Shadowhunters (Clary’s not adept just yet in the City of Bones) and the battle-bred warrior that is Matthias. It’s a rough road ahead and we’ll probably lose about half the group, but I think we’ll make it to some safe haven where we will stay for some time before the Governor or Negan (please no) come to take us out.

Am I being too optimistic? Are we doomed? Or might we actually stand a chance?? What do you guys think?
