Just Ahead of the Trend

[alanajoli]

I've discovered two novels about superheroes since my post on June 30 about how there weren't any. They've actually both been released since my complaint, however, so I am just ahead of the curve. Not enough so to have written my own before the trend hit, but enough to have anticipated the superhero novel in major bookstores.

The first, which I have on hold and will get from my library shortly, is Soon I Will Be Invincible, which was recommended to me highly by a friend. The second is Karma Girl (which, on Amazon, came up on the same search page with shanna_s's most recent novel, Damsel under Stress).

I'll let you know what I think of them. I'm still formulating reviews of the last two books I read (Bound by Iron and Territory--two completely different, genre mixing books), but should have some thoughts to keyboard this week. Otherwise I'll forget all the clever and insightful things I intend to say.

One of the Discoveries books will be an unorthodox superhero book, too. I'm not as familiar with that line, so I'm not sure which one of the 4 it is, though.

Hurrah! Should you find out, please let me know. (Not that I'm not going to be watching the new imprint's stuff anyway--but still.)
