Book Synopsis
Welcome to Banoi, a tropical island where you can leave the stresses of the world behind...
Welcome to the Royal Palms Resort - which offers its guests from around the world the ultimate in luxury and relaxation...
Welcome to the holiday paradise where your dreams should come true...but where a nightmare is about to begin....
Because a mysterious epidemic has suddenly, and without warning, broken out across the island. The local islanders, hotel guests and workers alike are struck down - only to rise again, craving the flesh and the blood of the still living. For four of the holidaymakers and a handful of others scattered around Banoi who are seemingly unaffected by the plague, they must face the awful, terrifying reality of a zombie apocalypse. Now there is only one thing left to do: survive.

Jesse is back and what else would we talk about but the book based on Techland's zombie game, Dead Island!? It's pretty bad! And more than a little racist. And there will be some trigger warnings in parts 2 and 3. But episode 1 should be fine if you're cool with the gore and the subtle racism. So that's a thing.

Book Synopsis
Mario and Luigi are Enjoying a peaceful afternoon when Toad makes a chilling announcement: Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach! Several strange, ghostlike beings overcame the Princess's guards and took her back to Bowser's Keep.
As the three friends travel into the Mushroom Kingdom, they learn that Bowser used an old book of spells to create the ghosts. As long as the ghosts guard Bowser's Keep, Mario and Luigi cannot pass. To break the spell, Mario and Luigi must search for six special mushrooms. Once all six mushrooms have been gathered, the friends can break the spell.
Mario, Luigi, and Toad better move fast. They have to travel to the Kero Sewers, Tadpole Pond, Forest Maze, Yo'ster Isle, Moleville, and Booster Pass. Can they collect the mushrooms in time to save the princess? -via the Video Game Library
