The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell★★★★★
Mira Grant Seared into my memory. Cascading failures as zombies attack an elementary school. Well-written, but I never, ever want to read it again.
King Mediterrano★★★★★Mediterranean/Mexican fusion, right at the 3-way border between Torrance, Lawndale and Redondo Beach. You can get a wrap with shawarma or falafel at a lot of places, but where else can you get a shawarma burrito with mozzarella, jalapeños and chipotle sauce?
Overgrowth★★★⯪☆
Mira Grant Invasion of the Body Snatchers from the POV of an alien plant person who grew up human. Now the invasion has started, and she’s sorting out friends, family, and who she can trust from either planet.
When The Moon Hits Your Eye★★★★☆
John Scalzi A fast, enjoyable read with a few gut punches hidden throughout. Not so much about the moon turning into cheese as how lots of different people react to the moon turning into cheese.
