For The Book Girl's Book Club we will be reading Supernatural: Nevermore by Keith R.A. DeCandido. Supernatural was a pretty good TV series and it wasn't until a few years ago that I found out the show had books. I figure it would be interesting to read the first book for book club.
As for the Comic Book Club, I thought we could read The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows by Dan Slott, Adam Kubert and Scott Hanna. It had been on my list of books I want to read for a while, it centers on an alternate universe Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson and their daughter.
For the Star Wars Book Club and we will be reading Star Wars: Red Harvest by Joe Schreiber. The description makes me wish I'd waited until October to bring back book club this since it has zombies. But since we're reading through the Old Republic books this was the next one in the line up. You know what horror isn't just for October and Halloween, it's all year round.
Anyway, I know it's been a while which is why I can't wait to start reading these picks (well as soon as I finish Caribbean Cruising by Rachel Hawthorne). As always, if there's a book you think we should read for book club let me know.
The Book Girl's Book Club
Book: Supernatural: Nevermore (Supernatural book #1) by Keith R.A. DeCandido
Description:
Twenty-two years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. In the years after, their father, John, taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America...and he taught them how to kill it.
Sam and Dean have hit New York City to check out a local rocker's haunted house. But before they can figure out why a lovesick banshee in an '80s heavy-metal T-shirt is wailing in the bedroom, a far more macabre crime catches their attention. Not far from the house, two university students were beaten to death by a strange assailant. A murder that's bizarre even by New York City standards, it's the latest in a line of killings that the brothers soon suspect are based on the creepy stories of legendary writer Edgar Allan Poe.
Their investigation leads them to the center of one of Poe's horror classics, face-to-face with their most terrifying foe yet. And if Sam and Dean don't rewrite the ending of this chilling tale, a grisly serial killer will end their lives forevermore.

The Parkers take on Regent in the most controversial Spider-Man story of the year!
Star Wars Book Club
Book: Star Wars: Red Harvest by Joe Schreiber
Description:
Unlike those other Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural Corps—those whose abilities have not proved up to snuff—Hestizo Trace possesses one extraordinary Force taletn: a gift with plants. But suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous, a Sith Lord with a fanatical dream poised to become nightmarish reality. For the rare black orchid that Hestizo has nurtured and bonded with is the final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula—crucial to the Dark Lord's obsession, but with consequences far worse than fatal. Now, spawned by a heretofore unknown virus, the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living—and commanded by a Sith Master who lusts for power and the ultimate prize: immortality...no matter the cost.
