Never Fade by Alexandra Braken

Never Fade is the follow up to The Darkest Minds.

Here's the summary, courtesy of Goodreads:
Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call upon them on a daily basis, leading dangerous missions to bring down a corrupt government and breaking into the minds of her enemies. Other kids in the Children’s League call Ruby “Leader”, but she knows what she really is: a monster. When Ruby is entrusted with an explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet: leaving the Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America’s children—and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts—has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is only saved in one place: a flashdrive in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future—and who now wouldn’t recognize her. As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam—and answers about the catastrophe that has ripped both her life and America apart—she is torn between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing herself?

This book is amazing and if you loved The Darkest Minds: run, don't walk to go read this book. It's expected publishing date is October 15, 2013. Get on it! :)

Spooky Fall Reading Picks

What with fall (and October!) rapidly approaching, what are your fall reading picks? I always want to read something creepy until I remember I get too scared and can't handle it. I read The Diviners by Libba Bray recently and I think it will be an excellent October read for anyone who hasn't read it. It's creepy and funny and really really enjoyable, especially for someone who might have a love for the 1920's. Other books that I'd like to read this fall include Bag of Bones by Stephen King, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger, and House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. All of those are books that I currently have on my shelf and that I need to finally read. What are you going to be reading this fall?
