Zombie Apocalypses, Haunted Houses and Queens of Nothing

I love participating in weekly bookish memes, answering questions and making lists, but sometimes the answers are not enough to make a decent post... On their own! And sometimes, I just don't have space to do all I want to do!

So, on those weeks, I'll be combining rather than skipping!

Zombie Apocalypse: What would you do?

I'd probably get eaten after tripping over my own feet while trying to run away.

I'd like to think I'd bravely fight off zombie attacks while managing to keep myself - and my family - fed, sheltered and healthy like an absolute boss but I'm uncoordinated and generally hopeless, lol. 

My husband would probably do okay though... Maybe I should just stick close to him and make myself useful where I can. 

That said, I'd be a pretty good medic, I think! 

Although, that wouldn't be much use if someone was bitten would it? Don't those bitten turn into zombies too? Or am I mixing up my monsters?

I've yet to read book one and book two but I've waiting for book three so I don't have pesky cliffhangers and years of impatient annoyance. 

(That's my story and I'm sticking to it! It has 100% not got anything to do with procrastination.)

The Queen of Nothing

He will be destruction of the crown and the ruination of the throne.

Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold onto. Jude learned this lesson when she released her control over the wicked king, Cardan, in exchange for immeasurable power.

Now as the exiled mortal Queen of Faerie, Jude is powerless and left reeling from Cardan’s betrayal. She bides her time determined to reclaim everything he took from her. Opportunity arrives in the form of her deceptive twin sister, Taryn, whose mortal life is in peril.

Jude must risk venturing back into the treacherous Faerie Court, and confront her lingering feelings for Cardan, if she wishes to save her sister. But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing. As Jude slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict’s bloody politics.

And, when a dormant yet powerful curse is unleashed, panic spreads throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and her humanity…

I'm betting a lot of people are waiting for this one, right?

You're spending a night in a haunted house. What book would you bring with you?

I'm a mood reader, so I'd bring my Kindle so I could read whatever I felt like at the time plus when the lights go out, I wouldn't be interrupted as it has a backlight.

I suppose the plummeting temperatures would negatively impact battery life but if it's fully-charged we should make it to the morning.

And since nothing has been said about what else I can take into the house I'd like to request that I get to take in my phone to act as a back up reading device (and to drown out the spooky sounds), a torch (with extra batteries), candles and matches in case anything powered by electric fails and, I suppose, a paperback to read by the candlelight... Although I've no idea which one I'd choose!

Oh! And I need a blanket and warm socks.

Maybe some earmuffs?

Holy water?

Snacks? Definitely snacks...

Why am I in a haunted house again?

I don't like being scared...

What about you? What would you bring?
