For Review:

Adaptation (Adaptation, #1)

Reese can’t remember anything from the time between the accident and the day she woke up almost a month later. She only knows one thing: She’s different now.

Across North America, flocks of birds hurl themselves into airplanes, causing at least a dozen to crash. Thousands of people die. Fearing terrorism, the United States government grounds all flights, and millions of travelers are stranded.

Reese and her debate team partner and longtime crush David are in Arizona when it happens. Everyone knows the world will never be the same. On their drive home to San Francisco, along a stretch of empty highway at night in the middle of Nevada, a bird flies into their headlights. The car flips over. When they wake up in a military hospital, the doctor won’t tell them what happened, where they are—or how they’ve been miraculously healed.

Things become even stranger when Reese returns home. San Francisco feels like a different place with police enforcing curfew, hazmat teams collecting dead birds, and a strange presence that seems to be following her. When Reese unexpectedly collides with the beautiful Amber Gray, her search for the truth is forced in an entirely new direction—and threatens to expose a vast global conspiracy that the government has worked for decades to keep secret.

This popped back up on Netgalley as it’s being republish in April 2014, and seeing as how it was one of my very first Waiting on Wednesday posts way back in 2012 I snapped it up. Malinda Lo is a great writer and I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read by her previously. Getting a review copy means she gets bumped up my to-read list.

Grimm Fairy Tales: Oz

The world faces a gathering storm that threatens to drown it in darkness. The only hope to stop the coming evil rests on an unlikely hero: a Kansas farm girl named Dorothy Gale.

Unbeknownst to Dorothy, highborn blood flows through her veins and with it, the power to save Earth and the realms of power that surround it. But Dorothy must first learn to use her unharnessed abilities before the witches of Oz destroy her and everyone else that stands in their way.

Zenescope Entertainment presents another incredible tale of adventure and fantasy with this mesmerizing and epic re-imagining of a classic!

I was hooked by this cover and a new found love for fairytale retellings – not quite sure the Wizard of Oz classifies as a ‘fairytale’ but you know what I mean! This should be a quick, easy read because it’s a graphic novel.

      I don’t think she’s quite a superhero LOL, I think that’s just the graphic novel ‘style’ – it’s a bit OTT for me, really, but i do love retellings.
