This Week on The Book Smugglers:

On Monday, we have our first Smugglers’ Ponderings post of the year – in which we examine the hype phenomenon, its disappointments, and make recommendations for serially underrepresented books that you really must read (especially if you have been reading some of the highly hyped novels of 2011 and feel ripped off).

Tuesday, Ana reviews graphic novel Nemesis by Mark Millar & illustrated by Steve McNiven (spoiler alert: Ana is NOT a happy camper, folks).

On Wednesday, Thea reviews The Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede…

And on Thursday, Thea reviews The Desert of Souls by Howard Andrew Jones.

Friday, Ana closes out the week with a review of Broken by Susan Jane Bigelow.

And that’s it from us today. Let the Madness BEGIN!

    Looking forward to tomorrow’s post! Though, by and large, I’ve liked the hyped books I’ve read.

    I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s post on hype, too, and especially your recommendations for under-represented books. I just love finding great books that I’ve never heard of before.

    I’m excited about tomorrow’s post as well. There have been a lot of hyped up duds, but there were some that I really liked as well.

    Ooooh, The Thirteenth Child! I’m interested to see what you guys think…not her best but still a pretty excellent book!

    Oh no, not Mark Millar. D:
    I love graphic novels, but I loathe Mark Miller. I’ve read two of his works (Wanted and Kick-Ass) and they were both *horrible* (though I like the Kick-Ass movie for some reason..)
