Today's mother/son activity consisted in teaching a two year old about zombies, articulating the word zombies, walking with our arms in front of us making horrible walling sounds in a effort to later put on show for dad. Pretending to eat each others brain was pretty entertaining as well.
Why you might ask? well, because of this:
Finn, keeps pointing at the cover: "What's that?". " The undead, darling!". This book so far is as hilarious as the former Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's a prequel actually. I was a little disappointed with Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters but then again the original Austen was pretty boring in my opinion. To be honest I only read her under the threat of a college class, which can't be the best of motivation (I was a Chemistry major...). Once done with this gem, I have plans for another Austen remake in the form of Mr Darcy, Vampyre. by Amanda Grange. It looks very promising.
Last but not least, a really good Twilight fan fic I just discovered. Metaphysics by Anais March. It's all about spending graduate school in London studying obscure dead poets and finding out Edward is showing up to research the exact same thing, coincidence much? This one is really well written and I am not sure why it's rated M, don't let it scare you off.
Oh I want to be the fly on the wall when you zombies come out to play..lol..

I can picture you and Finn playing Zombies and eating each others brains! lol That would have been a game my son would have liked at that age. I couldn't get into the Zombie/Austen books. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood.

I've yet to read those books, but we did watch Zombieland the other day. Rather entertaining, I must admit!

I just recently read this book...when i saw it on your blog i immediately ran out to buy it! I had read pride and prejudice and zombies the minute it was released. So awesome! I too had a deep conversation with my son regarding Zombies...he kept turning the book face down because that little girl zombie was freaking him out.
