ON SHELVES
ARTEMIS FOWL AND THE ATLANTIS COMPLEX by Eoin Colfer

"I have to say, for a good portion of this book I didn’t quite know what to make of it... I should have known to trust in Colfer’s gift for intelligent absurdity..." -- Rachel Hyland
SLEEPING BEAUTY by Mercedes Lackey

"It’s summer reading time, and Mercedes Lackey is at it again with the sheep jokes." -- Colleen Reed
THE PASSAGE by Justin Cronin

"Whatever one’s position on vampires, The Passage is one hell of a fun ride." -- Kate Nagy
TWICE BITTEN by Chloe Neill

"In this, Merit’s third outing, the unresolved sexual tension finally gets some resolution, but not for long..." -- Rachel Hyland
WARBREAKER by Brandon Sanderson

"At the heart of the story is the concept of Breath (or BioChromatic Breath in full), which is the rather original magic system that Sanderson has developed."  --  K. Burtt

IN THE STACKS
ANOTHER FINE MYTH by Robert Asprin

"I still cry with laughter... Asprin’s word play is a thing of beauty." -- Rachel Day
BARRY TROTTER AND THE SHAMELESS PARODY by Michael Gerber

"What a terrible book." -- Rachel Hyland
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith

"The clarity and beauty of classic writing combined with some zombie mayhem. (It’s like chocolate and peanut butter.)" -- Sara Paige
THE TRUTH by Tery Pratchett

"Pratchett examines the nature of the title's very ephemeral quality, especially in regard to the media that we expect to dispense it. And he's damn funny about it." -- Rachel Hyland
YOU SUCK by Christopher Moore

"The plot is rather secondary as it is just a device for Moore to showcase his sense of humor." -- K. Burtt
