Traveling With My Books

I just got back from gallivanting all over the country side...in the middle of a snow storm no less and had a great time.  I have decided that one of the most valuable things a person can have with them is a really great book bag.  Now book bags are tricky because you have to take several things into consideration.  First of all they have to be big enough to hold a wide selection of books, because who knows what I will be in the mood for.  Second they have to be comfortable, because my Hubbin say's if I can't carry it myself it stays home.  You have to be able to access it easily and be able to see you selections.  Also I have found a couple extra pockets for chargers, book lights and monocles is very helpful (note to self get a monocle).  Here are a couple of bags that fit the bill.

She is too fond of books

This is one of my favorite literary quotes, plus it has a flat bottom so all your books don't spill out

Messenger Bag

This type of bag always reminds me of traveling by horse.

Writing Butterfly Bag

A backpack style bag is perfect for when you need your hands free...to read

I Ransack Libraries Bag

This would make the perfect library bag

Tree Book Bag

This one just screams for all my fantasy books to be toted around

What is your favorite book bag?  Does it surprise anybody that I have multiple bags for different occasions? What is the most books you have ever brought with you on a trip?

Zombie Survival Kit

How awesome is my baby sis?!?  She MADE me this super cool Zombie Survival Kit book bag!

Yep she put the whole thing together all by herself and filled it with all of the things I would need to survive the pending Zombie Apocalypse or ZA as we call it around here

She gave me detailed instructions on the use of all the different survival items (including fake body parts to lure the zombies into a trap of pop rocks!) and a letter giving me all the sad (yet highly entertaining) highlights of her and her Hubby's last days (zombie Lola for the WIN!)

The bag itself is my favorite part (it is coming with me as my new book back for the fire station).  Not only is it AWESOME! (sorry the caps key is just SCREAMING my name today) but it fits at least one large hard cover, two paperbacks, my e-reader with charger, and even a magazine or two, you know for in between zombie slayings. It is pretty durable so I can toss it in the back of my ambulance without worrying about the seams splitting, so I'm pretty excited about that.  Thanks Baby Sis for combining my love of blood and gore with my love of all things readable (and Sixlets...I mean anti-zombie viral pills) into one of my favorite presents EVER.

What does your ZA survival kit include?  What books do you think I should take for the ZA?  How freaked out will my patients be to see this in the back of my unit?
