House of X/Powers of X by Jonathan Hickman My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. View all my reviews

Paris in the Present Tense by Mark Helprin My rating: 4 of 5 stars Super fun book. Feels more like a summer read then I was expecting. There is some absolutely perfect writing in this (stuff in cafe’s, music, etc.), a lot of awesome locational observations (L.A., Paris, etc.) & some brilliant characters. Strongly recommended…
