The Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag

Seems like the perfect time of year to do a book tag like this one. I’ve seen it a bunch of places like Bionic Bookworm, Journey into Books, and Book Reviews for Bookish People. I’m self-tagging on this one, cause… you know, Halloween. Zombies. Etc.

Here are the rules:
* Choose 5 random books from your shelf
* Randomly set your books
* Flip to a random page and record the first two names that you see
* Put the names in the categories listed below in the order that you saw them

THE FIRST PERSON TO DIE IN THE APOCALYPSE:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets – Gregory Goyle – Anyone have a problem with this? No? No one? Didn’t think so. Me neither.

THE PERSON YOU TACKLE TO ESCAPE THE ZOMBIES:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets – Harry Potter – It was random! RANDOM I tell you! Please don’t kill me!

THE FIRST PERSON TO BE TURNED INTO A ZOMBIE:

A Game of Thrones – Jon Snow – What? Jon Snow die and then come back to life? Can’t imagine it. *wink, wink*

THE PERSON THAT TACKLES ME TO ESCAPE THE ZOMBIES:

A Game of Thrones – Brendan Tully – Uncharacteristic. The Blackfish is a master strategist, so I guess it’s not impossible.

THE TEAM’S IDIOT:

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Arthur Dent – Okay, he can be a little dense, but I wouldn’t think he’s the idiot of the team. One character in particular comes to mind…

THE BRAINS OF THE TEAM:

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Zaphod Beeblebrox – Yup. That’s the one that comes to mind for the team idiot. And now he’s the brains of the team. We’re dead! We’re all dead!

THE TEAM’S MEDIC:

Red Rising – Cassius au Bellona – Well… Cassius is usually the reason people need a medic, but maybe someone who knows how to cause just about injury also knows how to take care of just about injury…

THE WEAPONS EXPERT:

Red Rising – ‘Mustag’ Virginia au Augustus – Mustang is kind of an expert of everything, so it doesn’t really matter which role you stick her in. She’s just going to excel.

THE TEAM’S BRAWLER:

The Desert Spear (The Demon Cycle) – Leesha Paper – Brawler, eh? She can be pretty nasty with a hand full of blinding powder, but generally speaking she avoids conflict and still manages to get whatever she was after.

THE TEAM’S LEADER:

The Desert Spear (The Demon Cycle) – Renna Bales – THIS is the team’s brawler. If Leesha and Renna could switch places, we’ll all last just a little longer into this zombie apocalypse.

I tagged myself, so I won’t bother tagging anyone else for this one.

Fun fact about this post: I once had a semi-serious discussion with a 12-year-old (even then I was an adult) about where I would go if the apocalypse actually happened. I chose a grocery store in my city that has a second floor, which overlooks the first, and very limited access.
