New Books this Week...

High School of the Dead By: Diasuke Sato and Shouji Sato
Takashi and his fellow students join up with a band of survivors who have barricaded themselves inside a local mall. Though the shopping center seems a well-stocked place to hide from the undead lurking outside, the policewoman in charge is having a hard time maintaining peace within. The group from Fujimi High would rather not get involved in a power struggle and tries to stay under the radar until they are ready to set off again. But with so many attractive, buxom girls among the students, it may be nearly impossible to avoid unwanted attention of the worst kind.

Life Eternal By: Yvonne Woon
Renée Winters has changed. When she looks in the mirror, a beautiful girl with an older, sadder face stares back.

His second life is close to an end, and each passing day means one less that she will spend with the boy who shares her soul.  Just when Renée has almost given up hope, she learns of the Nine Sisters, brilliant scholars who, according to legend, found a way to cheat death.
