A spotlight on Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee’s novel Mortal: Thanks to YouTuber HachetteBookGroup for the following trailer:
The Strain
Dark Horse Comics has been adapting Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s, New York Times Bestselling Strain Trilogy, written by David Lapham and art by Mike Huddleston. The first Volume of the comic book adaptation, issues 1-6, will be available November 2012. This title I have not personally read, but with the nature of the book being in the Horror genre, I would say this will be more suitable for your patrons that are 16 and up. Have your purchasing agents mark their calenders if you want to add this to your graphic novel collection.
AMV of the Week
This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber xxDxxMxx. This YouTuber takes the song “Shake It!” performed by Metro Station and edits in several scenes from a variety of anime. The cuts are quick cuts that are to the beat of the song. Because of this there are a lot of quick flashes, so if you are prone to seizures this might not be the AMV for you. It is an older AMV, but I just liked the feel good beat of the song and how the cuts keep the rhythm of the music. It’s worth seeing again. Great job xxDxxMxx. You can check out the AMV on YouTube under “Shake It!” or watch it below:

Don’t Forget Locke and Key
Locke and Key is written by Joe Hill and is one of my favorite reads. IDW Publishing has published 4 collected editions of this title and has a fifth in the works. The title is geared for upper teens (15 and Up) and adult readers. If your library does not have this title yet I strongly recommend it. The following trailer is provided by YouTuber TomWaltz:
