conulyWe all occasionally read guilty-pleasure books, right?
Riiiight. Well, as it happens, I have a real fondness for cheesy made-for-TV movies and equally cheesy made-to-make-a-made-for-TV-movie books. Which is why I was delighted to pick up The Rise of Renegade X for a dollar on Saturday. It's about this boy who's half super-hero, half super-villain, and his hero dad just found out and now he has to stay there a month and a half and it's angsty. Love it!
It's actually well-written for what it is. Not much in the way of awkwardly painful (yet oh-so-hilarious) dialog. And it's worth the potential embarrassment factor of reading this for the scene where he's simultaneously dressed as a supervillain to help his ex-girlfriend rob his stepmom's store (omg, the woman has a ring that's a family heirloom of this girl's!) and as a superhero with his potential girlfriend to protect his stepmom's store (omg, that ring is the only recompense the woman has for losing her superpower and so many friends!), which pretty much has to be the ultimate two-date setup. So, when it's actually in print (or if you win it over at goodreads in the giveaway), pick up a copy. You might regret it (if silly isn't your thing), but you might not.
