The final shambling steps

You may have noticed a distinct lack of posts over the last few months, sadly we lost authors and then real life took all the time we had to put into the site.

Thus the remaining members of Zombie outbreak have decided that the site shall come to an end. 

Zombie Outbreak started January 2011 as the fevered dream of a single man, who then recruited everyone he knew to do the work for him. In that time 11 people have made just 2 posts shy of 600 hopefully entertaining posts.

As that original fevered dreamer I want to thank (in chronological order):

Friday Voni

Wednesday Luke

Sunday Matt

Thursday Will

Saturday Simon

Tuesday Shanice

Thursday Lindsey

Sunday Tyler

Thursday Santoro 

Saturday Andy

So from me Monday Richard, Thank you all for reading. 

Watch this space, like any good Zombie the site will not stay dead forever.

Even if when it returns, it's in a whole new form.

Missing my hobbies...

So it came to my attention today that I haven't had much time, at all, to read lately. Which is sad, because I absolutely adore reading. But that isn't the only thing I've missed out on lately... 

I was invited to London by Macmillan in order to meet Hayley Long and Alyson Noel, and can I go to either of them? *sad face*

I thought that I'd be able to go to these events when I went to uni, I'd have the money... I'd have the time... What could go wrong? 

Then the event ended up being on a day when I had a lecture didn't it... *sad face*

I also didn't get to carve a pumpkin this year... I've never carved one, and once again I was really hoping that because I was at uni I'd be able to do one... Nope... clearly not...

Though it did look like a few people did (from facebook, I saw a lot of pumpkins by people living in halls, so I really missed out here!)

Although in saying that...

I do have some amazing friends... I spent Halloween with a pumpkin either on my head or attached to my glasses... 

NaNoWriMo!

I bet you're really fed up of hearing about NaNoWriMo following Saturday Andy's post! 

But honestly, I've got nothing else to talk about! My life is: NaNoWriMo, Class, NaNoWriMo, Class, Sleep. Barely even have time for food in there! (Okay, jokes, everyone has time for food!)

So yeah. NaNoWriMo. 

Bleh. 

How do I NaNoWriMo when I can't form proper sentences? 

*In joke between myself and the girls at uni... sorry guys...*

Anyway, what did everyone do for Halloween? As someone who doesn't celebrate it, I'm intrigued. 

HOWEVER! I do loveeeee me some bonfire night. The fireworks are always really pretty. Lucky me, I don't have to leave my accommodation at university to watch a fireworks display. I've been watching about 8 different ones from my kitchen alone! 

Are any of you going to a fireworks display? Or are you like my cousins who hate the noises? (poor cousins! They'll learn to love them :3 )

Tyler, out!

So, I don't do Halloween...

It occurred to me today,  that i've never done halloween...

I trick-or-treated round my family's houses... and I put some devil horns/cat ears/ witch's hat on... but that's really all I ever did...

Never carved a pumpkin. My mum did one year. My dad did one year. I've never done it, nor been involved in it... 

I suck! 

I wanted that to be different when I went to uni - it isn't. Sadly. 

So instead, I'm taking part in 'Horror Night' at Newman's gaming society. And there will be Zombie RPG - not that I have any idea what this entails. But it sound like it'd be fun. This is the closest I've come to doing something Halloween'y in forever.

Sorry for the short post. That's my Halloween confession. What's yours?

As Sophie and Reece become more and more deeply involved they put themselves in huge danger too, accessing secret data, facing kidnap attempts and worse. And as they uncover the terrible truth about what really happened to Dani, Sophie and Reece must also face their feelings for each other . . .

Lots of games...

So, I've been settling into University quite well. I've taken to my hall quite well. But I've got myself an amazing group of friends! Some I don't see as often as I'd like *cough*SHANICE*cough* but  I guess it can't be helped. 

Some however, are making me spend all of my Student Finance money...

All because of this game:

I've been spending an awful lot of time playing this game with my friends, I've even brought two decks! I've only been playing two weeks!! But this isn't all we've been playing...

We've been playing Munchkin (which is actually a lot of fun!), Bullshit, Chase the Ace, Portal 2... the List goes on! 

It's a wonder I have time to do anything else!

I'm back!

I'm back! Well, I hope to be back! But it doesn't matter how often I say that, I've just started uni and therefore I'll be freaking out on Sundays for weeks to come, because I have work to do.... Or something like that...

SO!

I didn't know what to do here, so I thought I'd just write a few things about uni. 

4AM FIRE ALARMS! Had to get that out of my system. We had a 4am fire alarm because some drunken fool opened a fire escape door -.- 

I GET TO STUDY THE HUNGER GAMES! So I'm super obsessed with the Hunger Games, and next semester in Creative Writing I get to study the Hunger Games :3 So I'm really happy. 

TIDY! I moved into university the Sunday before last and my room is actually really tidy... My room at home tends to get messy a lot... but this one... two weeks and it's still tidy!! Proud of myself!!

SECRETS! Um yeah... so only a few of my friends know about this bloggy thing that I do... but none of them actually know about Zombie Outbreak yet... I'm easing them into my weirdness... But then again, with them being zombie fans... maybe I can trick them into thinking I work on a blog about a zombie outbreak? Who knows!

PEWDIEPIE! I'm supposed to be doing homework or whatever, but instead I'm watching bloody PEWDIEPIE!!!!! Seriously, his lets plays are so damn addictive, that I wake up and when I have no lectures, I lie in bed watching pewdiepie!! 

Oh and COOKING! I'm actually doing some nice meals! Including a sunday roast, spag bol... pasta bakes... So yeah, I'm surviving on a student budget! Although, I'm not sure I'll survive much longer on this student budget when I start wanting to buy EVERYTHING... I went to forbidden planet on Saturday... How much do you think I spent? xD

Sorry for the boring, all about me, post! But yeah, university is excited and nervracking... I'm terrified still xD But I'm enjoying it! 

Hopefully you're all having an awesome weekend... Sadly it's Monday tomorrow... Luckily, I HAVE NO LECTURES ON A MONDAY! :3

Also, say goodbye to September and hello to October!

Synopsis: Goodreads:

Zoey needs a break after some serious excitement. Sadly, the House of Night school for vampyres doesn’t feature breaks on its curriculum—even for a High Priestess in training and her gang. Plus juggling three guys is no stress reliever, especially when one is a sexy Warrior so into protecting Zoey that he’s sensing her emotions. Wider stresses lurk too, and the dark force in Tulsa’s tunnels is spreading. Could Stevie Rae be responsible for more than a group of misfit fledglings? And Aphrodite’s visions warn Zoey to stay away from the immortal Kalona and his dark allure—but they also show that only Zoey can stop him. She’s not exactly keen to meet up, but if Zoey doesn’t go to Kalona he’ll exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. She just has to find the courage to do what’s necessary, or everything that’s important to her will be destroyed.

Ring Ring... Ring Ring...

Apologies, Tyler cannot be here right now is she is really busy moving into university...

After days of freaking out, she managed to forget she had to write blog posts here and on her own blog... And so she leaves you with me.

She'll be back properly NEXT WEEK!

Synopsis: Goodreads:

Panic invades a quiet town at the discovery of a woman's dead body, bound and covered with poisonous snakes. The grisly homicide ignites the instincts of police consultant Artemis Herne, who must confront his own haunted past to uncover the frightening pattern of the killer. Every victim suffers from a phobia. And every murder transforms the victim’s worst fear into reality.

As Herne plunges into darkness and hunts for the truth behind the gruesome killings, he soon realizes that everyone has a fear to face.


My Review:

So, I started reading this and remembered a movie I watched that was scarily similar to it... Dread... So I got really worried... I was terrified of that movie! And this book was no different! The Healer as the murderer calls himself goes around turning peoples phobia's into a reality.. their death. 

Honestly, Phobia has had me gripped and I've loved reading every minute of it. The novel was very well written and addictive. I found myself talking out loud trying, just as the police consultant, Herne was, trying to figure out who was going to die next... who the murderer was... 

If you like crime books, that aren't boring.. .that are funny and clever and very addictive, then Phobia is definitely for you! Honestly after being a crime fan, recent crime books have let me down... Maybe Phobia has reignited my love for them. 

I was really impressed with the twists that made me 'oh my' out loud on a regular basis. I really did enjoy Phobia and thought it was well written. 

Wonderful book, wonderful plot, wonderful. No other words to describe it!

Review: Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

Synopsis: Goodreads:

Meet Celaena Sardothien.
Beautiful. Deadly. Destined for greatness.

In the dark, filthy salt mines of Endovier, an eighteen-year-old girl is serving a life sentence. She is a trained assassin, the best of her kind, but she made a fatal mistake: she got caught.

Young Captain Westfall offers her a deal: her freedom in return for one huge sacrifice. Celaena must represent the prince in a to-the-death tournament—fighting the most gifted thieves and assassins in the land. Live or die, Celaena will be free. Win or lose, she is about to discover her true destiny. But will her assassin’s heart be melted?

My Review: 

This book has been the talk of the blogging community for the past month or so and I've wanted nothing more than to get my hands on it. The blurb was compelling and I was hugely interested in finding more out about Celaena, and I have to say I am largely impressed with Maas. 

Throne of Glass, was fresh, interesting and addicting. I loved reading every second of this story. I believe the characters were well developed and well written. Sarah clearly thought a lot about all her characters from Celaena to Katlin... 

The hype surrounding this book is one I'm glad I got caught up in. Although there is a love triangle, Celaena isn't like your average heroin. She's able to end the love triangle herself, sensibly - although, I would have loved for a relationship to have occurred between her and one of the boys... 

The magic element added into this tale about assassins and death was great also. It gave the book a little twist. I didn't honestly expect it when I began reading Throne of Glass, but certain elements early on hinted towards magic becoming a major part of this story. 

Sarah has written a beautiful novel, one that I am pleased to say I seriously loved!

Rating: 5/5 

Oh Help Me... It happened!

So, I've been watching My Little Pony 'Friendship is Magic'... *sigh*

I wanted to know what the internet was going on about... EVERYONE was going on about My Little Pony, and I just had to know! And now.... Well I just can't stop watching it... 

It's mainly because of this song that I've become obsessed with My Little Pony... So I ask you...

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE PONY? BECAUSE I CAN'T CHOOSE!

p/s: I was shocked to see the My Little Pony tag exists... SO! I want answers people!

I'm Going to UNI!

So, August 16th was a very nerve-racking day for me...

BUT! I got into my choice university which made things great! 

As many of you will know, collecting results is always nervous... and scary, I mean this was the first time I'd collecting my results in person and I was practically peeing myself. I was so scared... No one wants to find out they've failed...

But when I logged into track and saw 

Congratulations! Your place at Newman....to study English... has been confirmed.

Made me one very happy bunny!

So, myself and Tuesday Shanice will be seeing a lot more of each other over the next three years!

....

The scary bit is... I'm 17 and I'm moving out in under a month... Now that is REALLY scary...

Now I'm off to enjoy my chocolate champaign bottle, gift from my parents!

The Adventures of Shuggy...

So, when Andy and I came across this game in the Xbox game marketplace, we both jumped at it and decided to get the trial because it looked like a whole lot of fun. At first we thought it was similar to the popular Super Mario games. Turns out, it's not. 

You work your way through around 116 levels trying to collect gems. Whether you're doing this in single mode, or in co-op mode... 

So we thought we'd look into it... Our 'looking into it' resulted in us buying the game (or rather Andy buying it) and us creating a 'let's play' of it on youtube...

Seriously addictive game... Maybe you should check it out too?

Review: Switched by Amanda Hocking

You can buy it on amazon. 


Synopsis: Goodreads:


When Wendy Everly was six-years-old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. It isn't until eleven years later that Wendy finds out her mother might've been telling the truth.

With the help of Finn Holmes, Wendy finds herself in a world she never knew existed - and it's one she's not sure if she wants to be a part of.


My Review:

So I don't really know where to begin with this review... I really enjoyed Switched, it was new and different. I hadn't read a book about changelings (though I had heard of them) or Trylles (trolls) and yet the idea was all too familiar. "What if your entire world was built on a lie?" There are lots of books where this is explored... Just like the relation to things like 'The Princess Diaries' (which Hocking mentions in the book - said by Wendy (main character) - so she clearly knew there were similarities). Yet despite this, it was still a really good story. 


Wendy was attacked when she was 6 by her 'mother' who was convinced she was a monster who'd killed her son. Well, turns out her mother was partly telling the truth - about everything except the killing part. Wendy was a monster of sorts, she was a Trylle/troll (though she wasn't a monster in the scary 'I'm going to kill you all' and 'boo!' kind of way). Wendy's mother's son however wasn't dead - he appears in the story! Woop! And I must admit, I really like his character!


Then there is Finn who is a tracker, and I'm annoyed to no end by the stupid laws the Trylle have. There is always something getting in the way of two people who CLEARLY like each other. In this case, it's society. Let's just say the storks are at the bottom - Storks are Trackers, it's a joke between a lot of the characters. 


Anyway, there are plenty of characters in Switched, some you hate, some you love and some you just cannot make your mind up about. Like the Queen for example, I still don't know if I like her or not. She's just difficult!

The plot itself is interesting and I'd quite like to get my hands on Torn so I can see if I like where it's going... I'm impressed with Hocking's writing style as it was easy to read and the pace of the book was great. Fast when it needed to be, and slower when there wasn't anything to get excited about (like everyone going to bed? I mean, that's not exciting!) The story was paced very well. 


I really did like Switched, but did I love it? Not really...

Synopsis:

Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 12, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs... for now. 

Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too; post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault. 

Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.


Note: The above synopsis is slightly wrong, she was diagnosed with Stage IV Thyroid Cancer aged 13. 

Now onto the review:

Holy crap! I waited so long for this book! I pre-ordered it during John Green's live show when he announced it was available for pre-order. I was waiting so bloody long! Then my boyfriend got his copy before me and I was not impressed, however he waited for me to get mine before starting to read it! In one day I read the entire novel and was laughing and very nearly crying (in MANY parts) over and over again! Seriously, John Green didn't stick to one emotion for long in TFIOS!


Hazel is a character I seriously admire, to go through three years of that cancer and to still be as strong as she was is amazing - I know she's fictional and all, but that's not the point. I think Hazel was a very mature and down to earth character, even for someone with cancer and probably had to grow up way too soon - what with all the cancer meetings and crap at the hospital! Anyway. 

The relationship Hazel has with Augustus/Gus (nickname) was lovely. Truly lovely. To have someone there for you during a terminal illness, who won't leave you when things start to get bad, must be amazing - again, I am aware they are fictional characters! Gus and Isaac also are amazing, great characters and easily likeable - totally got a crush on Augustus!!! Isaac was pretty damn cool too *wink*

There wasn't really a character I disliked, though Peter was a douche - can't explain who he is or why! No spoilers! 

The novel was long awaited for and loved. I'm happy I pre-ordered my copy (orange sharpie signature!) and I can't wait to read John Green's other work!

Like I said to Andy, this book easily deserves the following star rating. It's got everything, and doesn't necessarily have a happy ever after ending, and so it's not a very cliché book - suprisingly. 

Just have to say: This Star Won't Go Out! The novel was dedicated to Esther Earl and I think she'd have truly enjoyed it!

Review: 5/5

Honestly would recommend this book to anyone, even if it doesn't seem like your cup of tea!

Review: Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

A little note, awful quick I promise! I'm away from now until the 8th of August... Working at a Summer Camp with kids... Wish me luck! Anyway, it'll be book reviews for the next two or three Saturdays... SORRY! :)

Synopsis: Goodreads:


Magic is dangerous--but love is more dangerous still. 

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos. 

Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own. 

Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa. 

As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

My Review:

After borrowing 'Clockwork Angel' from one of my friends, Gee, I finally got round to reading and finishing it! Took me five days to read, and likely would have been read quicker if it wasn't due to the masses of college work I received! But no biggie! I read it, and loved it.

I found myself caught up in this Team Will vs Team Jem thing that I've seen circulating the internet so often since I became a blogger. I'm still not sure which Team I am on, though I know for a fact I love Jem and genuinely feel sorry for him. I love his character, though the same could be said for Will - so basically, I can't win either way!

Our main character, Tessa is an interesting one... By the end of the novel we still don't know her full story and it's painfully antagonizing not knowing! I like her story line though, though some of her opinions I don't agree with (but she is a female from the Victorian era... soooo...). Tessa's 'gift' is interesting, on the other hand I can't say I'd like to have it.

Shadowhunters were a new concept to me, but one that I found kind of confusing at first. But as soon as Nephilim were mentioned it quickly became a concept I was fully aware of! So yay! It got less confusing very quickly!

I really enjoying Clockwork Angel and I can't wait to get my hands on Clockwork Prince (I might even buy my own versions to have on my shelves once I have money...) So yeah! Excited!

Synopsis: Goodreads:


“There is no pain in this death, only peace, knowing I am going to die with the one I love the most.”—Katriona Wilde.

Katriona Wilde has never wondered what it would feel like to have everything she’s ever known and loved ripped away, but she is about to find out. When she inadvertently leads her sister and best friend through a portal into a world she’s dreamed of for six years, she finds herself faced with more than just the frightening creatures in front of her.

Kate’s forced to accept a new truth: her entire life has been a lie, and those closest to her have betrayed her. What’s worse, she has no control over her new future, and it’s full of magic and horrors from which nightmares are made.Will Kate discover and learn to control who she really is in time to save the ones she loves, or will all be lost?  


My Review:


I have really loved following Kate on her adventure, my boyfriend probably has a good gist of what is going on in Wilde's Fire, purely from my out loud comments that I thought I was saying in my head... oh well. Kate and her sister, along with her 'best friend' find a cave at the bottom of a lake/river, loads of water... so they swim to it only to find a portal, not a cave. Kate's life is changed forever here. 


I thought Kate was a character who was developed well, she acted as any normal person would in that situation, and it took her a while to adjust to her new world and her new future. Although, it  didn't take long for Arland to appear - image dreaming about someone for six years and then have them appear, out of no where? Scary, no? But it happens. And he is amazing. All kinds of amazing. Even when he wants to beat the bijibbers out of another character, he remains calm and collected - GO ARLAND. 


The world Krystal Wade has created was believable, despite the creatures, and as soon as they defeat the creatures I'm sure it will be a great place to live. Obviously, the e-book has a few issues, I notice that with a lot of e-books (usually with spacing...) but it didn't take anything away from the enjoyment of the book. 


I suggest each and every one of you go buy this e-book because I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to see what happens in Wilde's Army!

Portal 2 Co-Op

So, Andy and I decided to get Portal 2 yesterday after each completing Portal 1 (well, he got it... I just told him too... oops...). Since then we've been playing Portal 2 Co-Op non stop. NON-STOP. 

I was P-body. Andy was Atlas. Which was really funny because they were really cute and we laughed a lot at the comments GLaDOS made whenever they hugged or played rock paper scissors... 


I do think Andy missed the companion cube though... I found this on the interwebs and I thought it was brilliant - he also found it cute. But it totally represents Andy and his companion cube well,   I think he's hoping it comes back though... To be honest, so am I :3

So there were a few levels that had us stumped, though we completed it in about 7 hours, but between this we did cook lunch and a curry... so about 1 hour wasn't spent playing... But either way, it took us a while. I'm quite proud of how quickly we got some of the levels, though I'm not sure either of us are a fan of the funnels really...

Whilst typing, Andy is currently playing Portal 2 Single... And so far we've met:

Wheatley! He's voiced by the wonderful Stephen Merchant. Who is wonderful. I've seen him in The Tooth Fairy (staring The Rock, Julie Andrews and Merchant) and I really loved him. Wheatley so far has simply been frantic, shy and quite amusing. I lost count of the amount of times Andy and I have laughed at Wheatly.

Of course we've re-met GLaDOS and let's just say... she's horrible, yet again... For example, she just called Chell fat... Lovely... 

So I'm going to go watch Andy play Portal 2, whilst tidying his sofa so we can watch some movies later whilst nomming on the pizza we're going to be making in about... 40 minutes!

So, happy 10 month anniversary for us... we've spent it playing Portal 2, eating homemade pizza and watching movies... Oh, and nomming on chocolate. Of course! 

Jeesh... Weddings...

I'm going to be honest here. This week I've had a major exam, and what have I spent most of the week doing? 

Reading?

Well, kinda. I've read a few books definitely. Really enjoyed the ones I read (well... almost all).

Watching movies?

Nope. Not a single movie... 

What then?

I've been hunting around so many different shops to try and find an outfit for a wedding. What on earth do you wear to a wedding!? I've been to two weddings. And both of them, I was a bridesmaid. And I was about 7/8 for the most recent one. A LOT has changed in the past 9/10 years. So, I've been hunting. Not studying for an exam which happened on Wednesday... But hunting. 

If you're reading this, then assume I found an outfit because the wedding was yesterday! 

But, I feel bad. So here's a book I'm reading, plus a synopsis. Will you be interested?

Twins Sera and Luke Raine have a well-kept secret—she heals with a touch of her hand, he sees the future. All their lives they’ve helped those in need on the sly. They’ve always thought of their abilities as being a gift.

Then Luke has a vision that Sera is killed. That gift they’ve always cherished begins to feel an awful lot like a curse. Because the thing about Luke’s ability? He’s always right. And he can’t do anything about it.

You can read Intuition (prequel) if you want also. Here's the synopsis of that:

Luke and his twin sister Sera have unusual abilities. Hers is a gift—she can heal with a touch of her hand. His is a curse—he can see the future but he can’t do anything about it.

On a hike up the mountain, Luke has a vision unlike any other—one that leaves him terrified. Knowing that it will come true—and that he must do everything in his power to stop it—leaves his own future uncertain.

I loved Intuition and I'm really enjoying Intangible. Maybe you'll consider picking them up?
