Since it's officially Spooky Month, here's a list of zombie books I've read and enjoyed!
Age ranges based off my experiences reading them:
Adult Book. No kids allowed. - Zombie Inc, Mountain Man.
Adult Book. Kids might be ok. - Death Warmed Over, Feed.
Young Adult Book. - The Enemy, Rot and Ruin, Generation Dead, The Forest of Hands and Teeth, Alice in Zombieland, Deck Z, Sweet.
Kids Book, but teens may still like it. - My Rotten Life.
If any of these look interesting to you, go check them out! If I had to pick favorites from this list they would probably be all four of the adult books, Sweet, and My Rotten Life.
Feel free to reblog with your own recommendations!

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.
Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.
And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.

End-of-Splatoon thoughts.
Thinking about how since the very start, Splatoon has had a feature where players can draw and post artwork and spot them as graffiti on walls or billboards. Or how the weapons have always been paint brushes and rollers and ballpoint pens. Since its inception, Splatoon has been dedicated to engaging its players with the act of creation and creative expression, showing them how their art can build communities and (literally) change the world.
Thinking about finding golden human-made music discs buried underground for thousands of years, and a grand finale music festival. About the Voyager Golden Records. About those human handprints etched into concrete in Alterna. Did those human artists know it would end like this? First a fiery death and then, eventually, a worldwide celebration of music to represent our shared past, present, and future. Did they know that their songs, insignificant in the face of extinction, would one day become the solution that will save the next dominant life-form from the same fate?
Thinking about how eerily similar the Octarian domes are to Alterna. About how close Inklings and Octolings were to repeating the same mistakes as humans. But their doomed fates were undone not by some miracle technology or military power or a rocket, but by music.
Thinking about how humans wiped themselves out with war, and our parting gifts were liquid crystals that somehow paired with the DNA of primeval inklings and somehow infused them with our memories and culture and a Song. And 12,000 years in the future, that same Song will end a war.
Thinking about how art and music and punk culture and rock & roll and friendly competition and petty arguments and water guns aren’t uniquely human concepts, but the fundamental qualities of intelligent life. An inheritable spirit that can cross evolutionary bounds.
Thinking about the theme of Splatoon, that art and music and fun will not die with the human race. That every piece of art we create is a seed we sow for future generations to reap. That our legacy is ingrained into the crust of the earth. That long after we’re gone, the oceans will remember, and they’ll pick up where we left off.
Thinking about how Splatoon says that the essence of humanity –– the thing that will outlive us –– isn't war or prejudice or destruction or greed, it's a song.

Carol: Spencer isn’t Y/N’s type.
Daryl: Oh yeah? So what is Y/N’s type?
Carol: Blue eyes, kind, oblivious, a little rough around the edges, dog lover.
Daryl, snorting: Sounds kinda like me.
Carol: Did I mention oblivious?
Daryl: Yeah, why?
Carol: Okay, just making sure.
