Game of Thrones meets Oceans 11 in this epic and harrowing adventure filled with intriguing characters. Kaz Brekker has finally found the perfect opportunity to bring revenge against the man he blames for his brother's death, however there is a catch. He will have to pull of a heist that is the biggest, riskiest, and most dangerous heist that he has every attempted. Kaz gathers his crew, which in itself is impossible, and the story carries on from the six different perspectives of Kaz and his crew. Making it out of Ketterdam, breaking into the Fjerdan Ice Court, and escaping alive makes Six of Crows one book you won't want to escape from.

This novel undoubtedly qualifies Cline as the hottest geek on the planet right now. [But] you don’t have to be a geek to get it.” --USA Today

Mayhem & Madness:
Alan Moore and Brian Bolland present one of fan's favorite Batman stories featuring criminal mastermind, the Joker.

Joker proves to do this by using Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his daughter Barbara (Batgirl). Batman must catch his archnemesis before terror sets loose in Gotham City. Can Batman finally put an end to the insanity? Or will his nobility and sanity be lost once and for all?

Where so many writers before and since have chronicled great Joker stories, Moore has masterfully taken us into the head of the villain to show what makes him tick. While we’re there we also get a glimpse of how lost he truly is." - Don Ventura, Comics Authority |

Summary from St. Martin's Press:
In Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life-and she's really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it's what got them through their mother leaving.Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.
Cath's sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can't let go. She doesn't want to.
Now that they're going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn't want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She's got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . And she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
For Cath, the question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?
