Feed Me, Seymour! (Feed by Mira Grant)
Hidey Ho, Bookworms! I’ve been having an absolute blast reading all these scary books lately. I kept hearing great things about the Newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant- I simply couldn’t stop myself from picking up a copy of Feed. The Zombie Apocalypse? Been there, done that. This book takes place 30 years post outbreak. Apparently the virus that causes… Read more »

What's in Your HEEEEEAD? (Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates)
Hello Bookworms, Today we’re going dark. I’m talking pit-of-despair dark. I just finished reading Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates. I purchased it because I like Joyce Carol Oates, I like zombies, and I like Kindle books offered at sale prices. Much to my disappointment, this wasn’t about zombies in the traditional sense. Although, it had… Read more »

We start off in an airport… Read more »
