BOOKS AND BLOGGING PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is defined as a theory underlying or regarding a sphere of activity or thought. Well, my theory is if I can add at least 10 new books to my Wishlist and move at least 5 older Wishlist selections to my TBR list every month, then life is a ice cream sundae. And if I can find those 10 books from at least 5 new blogs each month then that's the cherry on top.

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!
Well, I've made it almost 5 years now, so for better or worse, I continue on. I tend to blog in spurts as the urge to be creative erupts. As I don't have an artistic bone in my body, you will see very few changes in the layouts. Hey, I'm a reader not an artist like so many of the awesome bloggers I follow. I know you don't always have the time but if you stopped and looked, take a half a minute and say your piece. Recommend a book that you have enjoyed or hated for that matter. Thank you to all who visit.
Oh, and I moved my Google Friend Connect info and share this buttons to the top, as without our friends, who are we?

In the small town of Clayfield, Kentucky, an unsuspecting and unprepared museum curator finds himself in the middle of hell on Earth. A pandemic is quickly spreading around the globe, and in less than a day has turned most of the residents of Clayfield into murderous zombies. Having no safe haven to which he can flee, he decides to stick it out in his hometown. However, zombies are not his only concern. He must also contend with other survivors, his lack of skills, and his own conscience. 
If he is smart, and a little lucky, he can do more than survive; he can live like a king.


New author for me that I ran across on www.BittenByBooks.com  just yesterday. Just love that you can read a sample of a book free from Amazon. Without a doubt, this sample of 5 or 6 chapters sucked me in so fast that within minutes I knew I would have to read the whole thing. One of the best and worst things about a Kindle- instant access to anything you can imagine!  Needless to say, I sat up until the wee hours devouring this book. If you love the “Walking Dead” this series is for you. I love that though the world is coming to an end due to a zombie apocalypse, the book is focused more on the people who are trying to survive this horror and their interactions with others.                                                                                                                    
 While told from the narrator’s POV, a nerdy museum guy, totally unprepared for the end, you have no problem  seeing how it effects many of the other small-town people. I love the gradual evolving of this character from a mild meek Clark Kent to a butting kicking zombie killing superhero.                                                                                                    
From a small rural community myself, I can so relate to the individuals and appreciate the advantages of living in the boonies yet having the Wal-Marts and Tractor Supplies within driving distance. Books like these have me appreciating the vast varieties of supplies they (and I) keep on hand. I just need to convince my husband that an eight foot  fence around the 30 acres is a necessity not a frivolity.                                                     
This was a very quick read and I've already purchased book two and am already hoping there will be many more books in this series. Hard to beat the price on this book and much, much more story here than you would think for a mere $3.
