The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey: “Cassie Sullivan, the survivor of an alien invasion, must rescue her young brother from the enemy with help from a boy who may be one of them.”

Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers:  ”Sybella’s duty as Death’s assassin in 15th-century France forces her return home to the personal hell that she had finally escaped. Love and romance, history and magic, vengeance and salvation converge in this sequel to Grave Mercy.”

This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith:  ”Perfect strangers Graham Larkin and Ellie O’Neill meet online when Graham accidentally sends Ellie an e-mail about his pet pig, Wilbur. The two 17-year-olds strike up an e-mail relationship from opposite sides of the country and don’t even know each other’s first names. What’s more, Ellie doesn’t know Graham is a famous actor, and Graham doesn’t know about the big secret in Ellie’s family tree. When the relationship goes from online to in-person, they find out whether their relationship can be the real thing.”

1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die is a HUGE book that covers video games all the way from the 1970s to today, everything from Pong to the Uncharted series and so much more.  It includes information about the game’s release date, available platforms, plot, some pictures, and reviews.  If you’re tired of playing the same old games all the time and are looking to try something new, this book has plenty of options.

The Art of Video Games: From Pac-Man to Mass Effect similarly has info about games both old and new, but this one has big, beautiful pictures of all the games.  It’s really interesting to see how Mario has progressed all the way from his appearances in old games up to Super Mario Galaxy 2!

And of course, no gamer’s book collection is complete without Codes & Cheats.  We have the newest edition on shelf, which includes cheat codes for games like Batman: Arkham City, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom, Kinect Star Wars, and much more.
