Another batch of books has arrived! Here are my “must read” picks from this batch of books.
Dread Nation by Justina Ireland
Zombies + Civil War + Racial injustice= A must read for Me!
Space Opera by Catherynne M. Valente
All sentient species gather to compete in the Metagalactic Grand Prix, a grand tournament that determines which intelligent life forms get to survive. This year is Earth’s first competition, and they are sending the band Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeros to determine the fate of human beings.
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
The main character discovers a giant transformer type statue, she makes a viral video about it naming the giant statue Carl. Things get weird when “Carls” show up in dozens of cities around the world. I love Hank Green’s videos, so I am hoping this book lives up to the hype!
And the Ocean was Our Sky by Patrick Ness
An illustrated retelling of Moby Dick…from the whales point of view.
An update:
I am reading Dread Nation Right now-so far, so good
Space Opera was OK, but I was hoping I would like it more than I did.
An Absolutely Remarkable Think was delightful.
And the Ocean was Our Sky is an odd book, but I liked it. It was hard to understand at times, but the pictures helped me visualize what the author was saying.
