Currently Reading: A Second Helping and X-Men: Worst X-Man Ever

After taking nearly a week off from reading, I'm back with two very different books.

A Second Helping is apparently the second book in a series that I've never read. This is also the first time I'm reading something by this author. Since I haven't read the first book, I'm hoping this is written in a way that's easy to follow along with a woman trying to help revitalize a small town while solving some of the resident's problems.

X-Men: Worst X-Man Ever, is a five issue miniseries that follows a mutant who is trying to figure out where he fits in.

Both stories seem interesting and I can't wait to read them.


Book: A Seconding Helping (Blessings book #2) by Beverly Jenkins

Edition: Paperback

Description:

With the millions she received after divorcing her faithless tycoon husband, Bernadine Brown saved the historic town of Henry Adams, Kansas, from financial ruin and found loving homes for five needy children. Now there are other "projects" crying out for rescue.

If ever a town institution needed rescuing, it's the beloved Dog and Cow diner. Once it was Henry Adams' social center -- or gossip central! -- now it's in danger of becoming duct-tape central. But there are other distractions pulling Bernadine from the task at hand: a plethora of romantic entanglements, including her own with a disturbingly attractive Malachi July; a bitter young boy newly arrived in town with his widowed father; and a fugitive on the run with a six-hundred-pound pet pig that's wanted for murder (the pig, that is). And When Bernadine's philandering, troublemaking ex-husband rolls into town looking for a second chance, life in Henry Adams gets very interesting indeed.






Book: X-Men: Worst X-Man Ever (issues #1-5) by Max Bemis, illustrations by Michael Walsh, color by Ruth Redmond and letters by VC's Clayton Cowles

Edition: Single Print Issues

Description:

Bailey Hoskins has just discovered that he's a mutant. For someone who's never been special, never stood out, this could be his big moment. But as he gains entry into the halls of Xavier's School for Gifted Children, what exactly is his gift?

He's used to being hated, but is he anything to be feared? Bailey struggles to find a place alongside his fellow students, but the X-Universe is a big one - perhaps Mystique will see his potential. Or could Magneto have just the mission for him? Max Bemis, front man of the band Say Anything, makes his Marvel debut with the story of a misfit among misfits, just trying to fit in. Bailey Hoskins? Worst. X-Man. Ever.
