“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. Eat, Brains, Love by Jeff Hart Publication Date: October 1, 2013 Add to your Goodreads shelf! Two teenage zombies search for brains, love, and answers in this surprisingly romantic and laugh-out-loud funny debut novel with guts. Jake Stephens was always an average, fly-under-the-radar guy. The kind of guy who would never catch the attention of an insanely popular girl like Amanda Blake-or a psychic teenage government agent like Cass. But one day during lunch, Jake’s whole life changed. He and Amanda suddenly

You know that saying “I don’t have to be faster than everyone, I just have to be faster than you?” I call bullshit. See, I am not a runner. As a matter of fact, “running” is a four letter word in my house (strictly forbidden upon pain of spork in eye.) Knowing this (the running part, not the “I’m one step away from a loony-bin spork threats” part) I’ve had to devise my own zombie Apocalypse plan. 1. Running is for suckers (or really skinny chicks named Kelley <–with an e.) Avoid it at all cost because one block in

When I was much much younger (say 13 or so) I had a hearing problem. By the end of the day, if anyone would speak to me on my left side; I couldn’t hear them. Now, of course my parents thought I was just ignoring them (what parent wouldn’t) and, as suspected, went about their business, until one day they finally came to the conclusion that something might actually be wrong. So, being the wonderful parents that they are (yes, this is me sucking up) they took me to the doctor. The doctor (finding nothing wrong) sent me to

One of my favorite shows on television right now is “The Walking Dead” not necessarily because of the zombies (though I love a big batch of rotting angry flesh as much as the next girl) but because of the moral dilemmas the characters face while on their journey for survival. Would you be willing to sacrifice someone for the sake of yourself? At what point do you stop trusting the people around you? And at what point do you decide living is just not enough? “This is Not a Test” by Courtney Summers (author of “Fall for Anything” and “Cracked

I know what you are thinking, “Why in the hell am I posting these?!” Truth be told? I have no idea. Maybe I think they cool. Maybe I am tired of watching princess movies with my 3 year old daughter and this is my passive aggressive way of venting about it. Maybe (and this is the most likely of the batch) I am completely freaking psychotic! (insert maniacal giggle.) Regardless…I had this overwhelming urge to share these, and by God when I get the urge to leave my morals and good judgement at the door, I go for it.

I don’t talk about my daughter very often, (mostly because she’s three and obsessed with Hello Kitty) but a few days ago she said something interesting (and coincidentally enough; evidence that I’m not mature enough to raise the nations future leaders. *shrugs*) We were sitting in front of the television (just the two of us) a bowl of popcorn in hand prepared for some quality mother/daughter time when the topic of “entertainment choices” came up. “T, what do you want to watch honey?” I asked in my very formal, I’m a totally proper parent way. Her reply? “I don’t care.”

Dear Lord, When the world finally comes to an end…let it be with zombie! Sincerely – Me For those of you that have been following for a while, chances are you know almost everything there is to know about me. 1. I love gummy bears. I think they should be considered a food group and be a required daily dietary need. 2. I have a very hard time keeping my feet still. It’s a curse, the more I think the more they wiggle and at some point I might actually take flight. 3. I love zombies! Now, while number 3

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Misty. She lived in a normal house, with normal parents and a brother who (for dramatic purposes) was also normal. Misty on the other hand was NOT normal. See, Misty looked like a girl, was forced to dress like a girl, and from time to time was even forced to do girly things (to appease her mother.) But this was not the REAL Misty. See…Misty was obscure. She like to do boy things, read boy books, stay up until 3 am watching contraband horror flicks on her parents ridiculously tiny

Ahhh…Fall. My favorite season. Not, for the reasons you might expect however. Yes, I am quite happy to be rid of the daunting 118 degrees Texas heat, but cooler weather, and only 1 deodorant pit-stop a day pales in comparison to Fall’s true, most glorious of perks…Zombies. Oh yes. Fall is the season for “Chiller” TV, “Zombie Girls from Mars” marathons and more importantly, post apocalyptic literature. With Halloween in the not-so-distant-future, I get to lose myself in the slightly demented minds of people like King, Nicholson or Wallen, and not get judge harshly when I chuckle at a particularly

Good morning all! Today’s guest review is brought to by a VERY talented reviewer/super mod. Though I don’t actually know her name (anonymity is a blessing sometimes) I can tell you that she is making gigantisaurus sized waves all over the book world! She first started TNBBC (The Next Best Book Club) on Goodreads back in the fall of ’07, and watched it grow from a few members to the largest, most active book group on the site. Her search for The Next Best Book has pushed her out into the world of blogging, tweeting, and facebooking. TNBBC’s focus is on supporting and promoting independent publishers
