Blackout is the final book in the Newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant. Unlike books Feed and Deadline, Blackout is less about discovering the truth, and more about finding a credible way to expose it. Understanding the virus and its evolution–in both natural and directed paths–becomes the primary goal of the After the End Times team. Reporting takes a backseat to their fieldwork, since staying off the grid is their main goal. That does not mean their primary mission is lost, but that the process of completing it has changed.

Let’s Pretend This Never Happened is the “mostly true” memoir of Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess. Lawson tells anecdotes from throughout her life – in short chapters so you can feel good about what a productive reader you are. Fans of her site, TheBloggess.com, will recognize several of the stories from the blog, but the presentation is entirely different in her book. For Lawson no topic is off-limits: childhood trauma, work stories, her husband, or even anxiety and depression. Many people feel like they had an outrageous or singular childhood, but Lawson stands out from the crowd.
