Zombie Chickens... Sounds Like a Bad Movie Title

Becky, whom I love, gave me the absolutely coolest award. Ever.


The instructions (can I tell you how the "Tao of the zombie chicken" cracked me up? I completely lost it):
The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence is all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all ...
Of course: the real task here is avoiding the wrath of the zombie chickens, and picking five worthy bloggers (because there are so many of you, of course).

Natasha at Maw Books -- reviews, author interviews, thoughtful posts, recipes, blogger interviews, lists, questions answered, vlogging... and it's all interesting, thoughtful, well-written. And she's popular. What doesn't this woman do?

Douglas and Main -- the local guy who loves to poke fun at me (and manages to keep tabs on all the Wichita bloggers... which is a pretty impressive feat, in and of itself)

Emily at emilyreads -- because anyone who reviews in haikus is dang awesome.

Corinne at The Book Nest -- for calling me a book guru. And having awesome reviews. And just being plain awesome.

Abby (the) Librarian -- so she doesn't totally hate me for forgetting her on my Geeky linky list back in January. And because I love her reviews, too.

Whew. Zombie Chicken Wrath avoided. That was a close one.

NICELY done. THANKS for including me! I'll be watching my back....

Natasha @ Maw Books said...

Ah shucks! Thanks Melissa! So thoughtful. What do I not do? Sleep!

Hmmm... zombie chickens, now there's a thought. When in doubt, throw in some zombies. It's practically a philosophy of writing.

Congrats on the award! I think this is a cute award. :)

Melissa said...

Yeah, Stu: that's why they've now got Jane Austen with zombies. If it's not overdone yet, why not?

Natasha: I knew there was something!

Kailana -- I agree. It is cute. And funny. :)Thanks for the congrats...

Corinne -- anytime, my friend. :)

I hold you in the highest regard. You are a prolific reader and blogger. And you still do the mom/wife thing well.
You are one of my blogging heroes.
But you gotta admit; the name Book Nut does lend itself to just the tiniest bit of teasing.
Your biggest fan
(but not Annie Wilkes like fan)

Aw, thanks Bobby. And I don't mind the teasing at all. :)
