Into the Black Nowhere by Meg Gardiner 
Boy Howdy, does Gardiner know how to write a page-turning thriller.

The Honey Don’t List by Christina Lauren 
I have yet to meet a Lauren book that I didn’t like. This one is a little on the nose with its star TV remodeling couple. But I still loved it.

The End.

Sage Volume 6-9 by Brian K Vaughan
*Huge Mature Content Disclaimer Here*
Something no one told me when I started this series is that there may not be more to come. Which is upsetting. While I have LOVED Saga, I can’t wholeheartedly recommend knowing that it may not continue.

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaimen
This isn’t Marvel’s version of the Viking gods, of that I can assure you. But it does stay true to the legends as far as I can tell. I recommend it if you are looking for some ancient gods and their tales of heroism.

The One and Only by Emily Griffin 
I picked this book up simply because I needed a quick romance to bury my head in. Imagine how thrilled I was to learn that there was football too! This novel took me through a range of emotions that I was not expecting. And that, I think, is a sign of wonderful writing.
