Fresh Batch (April 14th – 20th)

Posted by

Exclusively titled for Xpresso Reads, Fresh Batch features the hottest releases of this upcoming week.

Flavor of the week:

Game
Barry Lyga 
Publication date: April 16th 2013
by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

Billy grinned. “Oh, New York,” he whispered. “We’re gonna have so much fun.”

I Hunt Killers introduced the world to Jazz, the son of history’s most infamous serial killer, Billy Dent.

In an effort to prove murder didn’t run in the family, Jazz teamed with the police in the small town of Lobo’s Nod to solve a deadly case. And now, when a determined New York City detective comes knocking on Jazz’s door asking for help, he can’t say no. The Hat-Dog Killer has the Big Apple–and its police force–running scared. So Jazz and his girlfriend, Connie, hop on a plane to the big city and get swept up in a killer’s murderous game.

Barry Lyga is a recovering comic book geek. When he was a kid, everyone told him that comic books were garbage and would rot his brain, but he had the last laugh. Raised on a steady diet of comics, he worked in the comic book industry for ten years, but now writes full-time because, well, wouldn’t you?

The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy & Goth Girl is his first novel.

    I am most excited for The Symptoms of My Insanity because I’ve read a lot of great reviews of it!! 😀
    It is always shocking to see how many books are coming out every week…

  3. Amy

    For once there’s not a single book that I really want this week!! Game sounds awesome, but I haven’t read I Hunt Killers yet. The Symptoms of My Insanity sounds good too, but it’s not a must read or anything.

  4. Nick

    I’m not really interested in any of the books this week to be honest. The Game is the one that looks the most interesting.

  5. Megan K.

    Definitely looking forward to The Symptoms of My Insanity, even though I haven’t been seeing many reviews for it around yet. With the amount of negative reviews Taken has been getting, I’m also not sure if I’ll get it yet. Other than that, though, nothing all that interesting being released this week! Hope the next is better. :3

    There really isn’t one I’m looking forward to this week. I was excited about Taken but there are a lot of negative or mediocre reviews coming out for it, that my excitement has pretty much died.
    There are some good looking books on here that I haven’t see before so I’ll have to check them out.

  9. Eileen

    Ugh Taken comes out this week? *puts on blindfold* This way I don’t have to see people getting it and I won’t have to spread any negative feelings about it because I really couldn’t stand it.

    But I remember how much you loved Game and I SAW I HUNT KILLERS IN MY LIBRARY TODAY! I’m still debating getting it though, consider I’d probably start crying as soon as I read it because I’m such a wimp.

    Thanks for sharing! 🙂

    Ooooh Furious comes out this week, I’m actually still curious about this one. I was excite for Fyre but I just finished it this morning and it was sort of meh. Taken was another one I wanted to read but I definitely don’t want to anymore >.<

    Thanks for sharing doll!!

  11. J. Anne Huss

    I’m kinda neutral about these. I thought Taken might be good, but then I read the reviews. (Eeek) I guess I’d have to go with You, since it reminds me of Ready Player One, even though I’m not a big video game reader, I loved RPO.

    Lots of great covers though! 🙂 For best cover I’d pick…Taken or Furious.
