Review: Zom-B Fugitive by Darren Shan



This is the eleventh book in the Zom-B series and I continue to be amazed by the story. With only one book remaining in the series, Darren is starting to connect a lot of threads that have developed as well as some shocking revelations.

B's emotional journey has been so intriguing. To go from a person who embraced the negative, racist environment you were born into and end up as someone who would sacrifice their undead life for humanity is spectacular!

Also for zombie fans this book brings the action and blood and guts we hunger for. If your a horror fan this is a series to check out!

The Organized Geek Week 2: Keeping What Brings You Joy


Welcome to week 2 of The Organized Geek! hopefully in the time before the last post you have had time to sort and catalog your collection. Now comes the hard part. I was fortunate that I was in the mood to release items from my collection because of my experience with this book:




I have often thought that collectors have a certain gene that leads to a form of hoarding :) The main lesson I took from this book was that if something doesnt bring you joy then it should be released. Now this can be tricky with a fandom collection. 

I equate joy with use . Things that bring joy are often in my line of sight. Be it my Funko collection, books or other collectibles. 

The first things I let go were some San Diego Comic- Con exclusives. It's very easy to get caught up in the thrill of SDCC and end up buying collectibles that we wouldnt normally use.

once I took a look at my SDCC stash I realized there were some I would never part with and others that I could easily sell on ebay. 

For items I didn't sell I donated them and got receipts for them.

So now I was left with a very streamlined collection, some extra money in my pocket and more space.

The next part of the journey is storage and use of your remaining collection.
