Hola,
Another crazy book...this time it is Zombies VS Unicorns by Justine Larbalestier and Holly Black (and various other authors!) it is a collection of short stories, either about Unicorns or Zombies. Basically, there is a Team Zombie and a Team Unicorn, made up of various authors. They take their sides and argue their points by writing magnificent stories about either of the chosen two. It was orginially an arguement between Justine and Holly...and they turned it into a book! Super weird and totally random, it felt like the right thing to put on this block (since what it weirder or randomer than Random, Stupid and Insanely Genius?) One of the stories I particularly enjoyed in the book was The Care and Feeding of Your Baby Killer Unicorn by Diana Peterfreund...it was cool and slightly creepy. I am definitely Team Unicorn, though I have nothing against Zombies...I just think Unicorns are ultimately WAY cooler! So, are you team Zombie or Unicorn?

Unnatural Creatures by Neil Gaiman!
Hola!
This is my first "Wacky Book of the Month" review! I am going to try to do one every month. It is where I choose a weird collection of stories (or maybe a novel) and review it and stuff...ugh...I am so bad at explaining things! Anyway...here is this months one!
Unnatural Creatures by Neil Gaiman!
Here is a photo:
This is a collection of weird stories by different authors, it was put together and edited by Neil Gaiman (writer of Coraline...shivers...that was CREEPY!) I checked this book out from the library a couple of days ago, and I've read two of the short stories inside (#1. name that is unpronouncable...considering that it's a dot by Gahan Wilson. #2. The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees by E. Lily Yu.) Both were outragously awesome and kind of funny. This book is all about the unnatural! There are books about NATURAL history and stuff...but none (until now!) about UNnatural history! I'm looking forward to delving deeper within this book...and I hope you will check it out too!
