I thought that This One Summer would be a pretty neat female focused comic book perfect for my summer reading. My instinct about this did indeed prove correct and so — the summary combined with a quick flip through to look at the art combined with A TON OF BLURBS from authors I really enjoy lead to me reading This One Summer and I regret NOTHING.

Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld | Book Review
September 9, 2014
Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld was the thickest, heaviest, longest book that I obtained at Book Expo America. It’s also one of the books that I was THE MOST excited about because I got to go to this swank lunch hosted by Simon & Schuster and hear Westerfeld talk about the book.

In The End by Demitria Lunetta | Book Review
September 8, 2014
In The End is the conclusion to Lunetta’s duology and wraps up events from In The After while showcasing more of the world after the floraes have decimated the population. While I was really excited to begin In The End because I love when series and books have actual endings and conclusions, I found myself not quite as engaged by this conclusion.
