I'll admit I've sort of skipped over reviews of this because of the "James Patterson presents" thing...It's totally unfair of me, but I sort of do it without thinking. I'm so glad I stopped by to check this out though, it sounds like it's a really great read! I'm going to add it to my library list.

Great review Jeann

Diversity is definitely tricky. I think a lot of authors fall into the Google trap these days. Instead of asking someone with knowledge on the subject, they simply google the hell out of it. I mean it is easy to do that, but it's important to get that second, very real, opinion from someone with more personal experience than a list of articles that may or may not be more knowledgeable than the one searching.

I'm biracial as well...and honestly I think the only MG and YA books I've read with a African American/Caucasian character was Rick Riordan's Kane series, which I really liked because it also had some big cultural differences between the sibling due to growing up in different places. But I completely agree with you, there needs to be more.

That collector's edition is pretty cool! I want a bobblehead! My boyfriend got the PipBoy version, and then I bought him the Fallout 4 Lootcrate for christmas...which he already opened. And some how he ended up with a Vault Boy cardboard standee, so we're basically drowning in Fallout stuff. I'm actually playing it and enjoying it as well, which wasn't something I planned on doing considering how much I loathed 3. (giant bugs killing me all the time wasn't exactly my definition of fun).

This is fun one! You have some awesome choices. Soap is definitely a great one, and Michonne is a must. I thought about this one for a long time, hence why I'm a day late posting it. I wanted to try for all female characters who didn't feature in a zombie game, which made it a bit tougher but I really like my choices.

So many awesome books mentioned! I have a few of these on my TBR but haven't had the chance to pick them up or buy them. I've had Mime Order since it came out but it's so big that I don't want to get caught up in it and forget my other books, but I need to get to it at some point. Armada is a lot of fun too.

I had a lot of trouble picking characters for this one. I have a tough time with the same topic when it comes to reading. I see bits and pieces of myself in a lot of characters, but never the right mix. Probably why my favorite games are choice based or let me be the voiceless hero in a free sandbox world.

Sooo many books! The Library a Mount Char was a good read, incredibly bizarre and it takes a lot of patience but good. I still haven't read Mortal Heart, I've had it since it came out and nada. I think I have a phobia of finishing series...because I have a lot of last books I've never touched. :/
I've sort pulled back on instagram since I haven't been feeling well. I haven't even used my new camera in a few weeks.

I thought about joining ARC August, but I probably won't. I don't have very many arcs to get through, and it's too much temptation add to them just to have something to read during that month, lol. I'm glad you managed to get a Fallout Pre-order! We just saw the Mini-Nuke version on Sunday and my boyfriend thought it was pretty awesome, though I did remind him he already ordered the Pip-Boy version...so here's hoping we don't somehow end up with two preorders, lol.

You've been to so many conventions!! I've only been to one, but I want to go to more...they are just sort of expensive. I regret not wanting to go to more when my parents were still paying for stuff, lol
