[Book Blogger Hop] Dropping A Book In Front Of Zombies

October 5, 2019      Erica Robyn      16 Comments

BBH Halloween Edition

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.

Phew! I have been away from this hope for quite some time! It feels so good to be back!

For this week’s Book Blogger Hop, Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer asks:

You’ve dropped your favorite book while being chased by a herd of zombies. Would you go back to retrieve it?

BBH My Answer

My answer for this one depends on three things.

The first is obviously how close of a call it would be to stop and try to snag it. I would hope I wouldn’t be too crazy to risk my life over a book.

The second would be whether the zombies are slow or fast. Are we talking The Walking Dead or 28 Days Later types?

The third is how far gone we are in the zombie apocalypse. If we’re deep into things and getting new books isn’t easy to do, then heck yes I am going to be much more willing to stop to retrieve it!

Thanks for reading!
How would you answer this week’s question?

    I agree with your reasoning. It’s not like we can just go out and get a new copy unless we are looting a book store! If I dropped a book I loved I’d try to lead the zombie away then double back to retrieve it!

    I hadn’t thought about circling back after leading them away . . . That’s a good idea.

    Like you said, it definitely depends on the type of zombie – another type tho avoid are the kind from Train tho Busan. At least I wouldn’t have that extra weight slowing me down!

    I’d have to let the book go! I already know I won’t do well in the zombie apocalypse, so I’m not taking any chances!

    I totally agree with those answers! If I had my sword to lop off their heads I would definitely go back and get it though.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!
