Well, my husband has been going on and on about the Walking Dead, his show that he forces me to watch with him every Sunday. Plus, with Halloween coming up, zombies are a popular choice. WE have had witches and shifters and vamps already this year. So I was being fair.
I don't even like witches and I read 6 of them last month. Go Ezi!
