All Systems Red and Gotham: Dawn of Darkness were full price, but the Wonder Woman novelization was one dollar, the Alien book was two - and has some Ash, and I love this author - and Power Rangers 18 was two dollars, as BOOM! comics are half off after they're out in the world for a month. 

For $16 and change, that was a good haul.

Apparently sometime during the craziness of March I missed the release of the cover for Gemina, the second book in the Illuminae Files series.  I devoured the first books, Illuminae back in January and have been ridiculously excited for the October release!  The writing styles of these two authors, Amie Kaugman and Jay Kristoff, meshes so well together and Illuminae is without a doubt one of my favorite read of this year.  So without further ado the cover for book number two, Gemina.

Release Date: October 18, 2016

Genre:  SciFi (kind of has that space opera feel to it)

Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna’s social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed. Gemina takes place on the space station, Heimdall. 

I seriously recommend the first book to anyone who reads Science Fiction books.  Yeah, okay it's technically also a Young Adult book, but don't let the push you off.  This series isn't written like the usual book.  It's told through the eyes of surveillance cameras and desk reports.  For me the entire book was an experience, and I can't wait to be thrown back into the universe through an airlock.

It's one of our favourite days here at the Wordsmack office: Cover Reveal Day. The other favourites include publishing day and Friday...
