3. and lastly, If you could meet any fictional character who would it be and why?

Better Read than Dead Blogging Mini-Challenge Time!!!
You're in a bookstore and you've just purchased 5 books you've been dying to read, when the apocalypse hits. (Zombie, Demons, Vampires, Dean Winchester vs. Sam Winchester (yes, I'm watching Supernatural reruns) I don't care what apocalypse). You've got one chance at survival, what 2 books do you take and what 3 other items do you take?
First, I am totally hanging with Sam and Dean for the apocalypse! OK, I am assuming the items have to be taken from the store, so I am going to search the coffee shop (since I am at B&N) and look for a knife. I am also going to get a coffee, since hey it might be a while before I taste another caramel macchiato. For my books I am grabbing a book on herbs and plant life and How to Survive an Apocalypse. Hey, don't look at me like that...i totally plan to hold up near the local library and will snag a few books for reading when I can, but first I need to survive!
Wrap Up
Overall I accomplished my goals and read 3 books, but as you can
see I added a book! I also visited some blogs, and participated in a few fun challenges. Thanks to all the hosts!
How did you do?
