GRaB: Zombie Edition


In honor of Zombie Appreciation Week, I will be conducting a zombified GRaB that includes ALL zombie books that I have reviewed in the past and will be reviewing this week! I know, please refrain from drooling all over your keyboards - this is only a feast for the brains, not the tummies! :}

Here's how we play:

+1 for each comment left on any zombie book review

+5 for the FIRST commenter of new zombie book reviews

+3 for the SECOND commenter of new zombie book reviews
(additional comments do not count)

x3 for commenting on ALL zombie book reviews
(old and new, and yes, any previous comment will count)

+10 if you comment on the zombie book review that has the most comments by the end of Zombie Appreciation Week

+5 for new and current followers of The Epic Rat

+10 for posting about the Zombie GRaB in a blog post or sidebar
(+5 for each referral - see immediate below)

+10 if you found out about Zombie GRaB from another blogger
(please tell me who - or no extra entries)

---
THREE WINNERS
  • The blogger who refers the most people to Zombie GRaB selects 3 zombie books
  • One randomly-selected commenter selects 2 zombie books
  • One "Surprise! You win!" commenter selects 2 zombie books
Secret criteria for this winner that will not be revealed until the end, but let me put it this way: HOW ZOMBIE WILL YOU GO THIS WEEK? :P

Open WORLDWIDE
