Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you all remembered to turn your clocks back an hour and are enjoying the extra time this morning.
This week I went to the Markus Zusak signing at B&N The Grove earlier this week and bought a couple of his books. It was a really great event and Markus is Australian, cute and an awesome author, and we all had a good time. Hopefully I'll get a recap of that up soon. I also decided to go to Comikaze yesterday, which is a comic convention in LA that started a few years ago. It's nowhere the size of Comic Con but it's local and it is definitely growing. I picked up a bunch of comics and things from the event and can't wait to start reading.
First up are a couple of book I got from the library. I have been wanting to read both Reality Boy and Vicious and was excited to see them. Vicious is actually a 7 day loan so I started it but have been too tired this week to get very far. Hoping I read more this weekend.
I am in the middle of reading The Book Thief right now but also picked up I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak. I got a chance to go to a screening of The Book Thief movie this week as well (it was a Book Thief week!) and really enjoyed it. I am only in the middle of the book right now but it's really good. If you get a chance to see Markus speak you should definitely go.
Next up is my Comikaze haul.
Aahhh so gorgeous! So that's my book haul for this week. hope you all had a good weekend. What's in your mailbox?

Next up is my Comikaze haul.
Lazarus by Greg Rucka and Michael Lark - This one caught my eye and I hadn't heard of it before. Comic shop guy said I would like it if I like strong, female characters. Sold!
Blacksad by Juan Diaz Canales and Juajno Guarnido - This one looked interesting and had some really cool artwork. Features characters that are animals but is a noir story.
Saga Vol 2 by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples - Bought Vol1 back at Comic Con and picked up Vol 2 at a discount. I have to start reading this soon. I hear it's amazing.
Kabuki Dreams Vol 2 by David Mack - David Mack is one of my favorite comic writers/artists. I have this one in softcover already but this is a hardcover copy.
Revival Vol 1 by Tim Seeley, Mike Norton and Mark Englert - I wanted this at SDCC but they were sold out. Glad to have found it at Comikaze.
I also picked up this art book by David Mack yesterday. I could not find a Goodreads link but you can probably find it on the internets if you so wish. It's full of really great art and process pieces like what you see below.
