I know I am a little late to jump on the zombie bandwagon, but I\u2019m loving every second of it! I am definitely not a fan of scary movies or shows so I figured I wouldn\u2019t enjoy this series about the world being overtaken by a deadly virus that has infected the majority of the population, turning them into zombies. After I watched the first couple of episodes I was hooked. I just finished the second season this past week and I\u2019m moving onto the third season now. Every episode brings more suspense and anticipation. This series does an excellent job at developing the plot and characters. It follows a group of survivors seeking a safe place away from the zombies that are more commonly known as \u201cwalkers\u201d. With all hell breaking loose, the group faces hardship and death all while trying to maintain their humanity and fighting off the walkers. As I\u2019m getting further into the series I\u2019ve come to expect the unexpected. There are so many twists worked into the plot, it\u2019s exciting. If you haven\u2019t seen The Walking Dead I highly recommend at least trying it out!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<address><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theswitch.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/15731876-e1402522294939.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1455 alignleft\" alt=\"15731876\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theswitch.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/15731876-e1402522294939.jpg\" width=\"295\" height=\"475\" \/><\/a>Ruko Senseney<\/address>\n<h3>Account Manager<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My half hour commute to work is so gratifying when I listen to a compelling book on CD. I just finished \u201cGarden of Stones\u201d by Sophie Littlefield, a historical fiction based around the Manzanar internment prison camps for Japanese-Americans. From the topic, you expect a sad story of struggle. Yet this book was so much more, starting with a murder of an American man in the late 1970s. It was more of a mystery than I expected, filled with plot twists and corruption while also exploring deep relationships between a mother, daughter and friends. I was quickly hooked and often found myself sitting in the car, just to finish a chapter. The story also shed light to the offensive experiences some Japanese-Americans faced during WWII, as well as the dreadful conditions of the prison camps \u2013 quite unbelievable that it happened on U.S. soil. It reminds you of the human perspective as we still struggle with cultural stigmas, inequality and effects of war today. The novel is gently written, realistic and provocative. It grabs you from the start and pulls at your heart. If you are a fan of the Kite Runner and similar historical\/cultural fiction, this one is right up your alley.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we&#8217;re seeking zombies and mysteries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":332,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","category-featured-home"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
