Two more books on my wishlist this week; I just discovered this week that After the Golden Age is now out in paperback, so it should probably be added to my TBR piles soon!
After the Golden Age by Carrie Vaughn
Summary from Goodreads :
Can an accountant defeat a supervillain? Celia West, only daughter of the heroic leaders of the superpowered Olympiad, has spent the past few years estranged from her parents and their high-powered lifestyle. She’s had enough of masks and heroics, and wants only to live her own quiet life out from under the shadow of West Plaza and her rich and famous parents.
Then she is called into her boss’ office and told that as the city’s top forensic accountant, Celia is the best chance the prosecution has to catch notorious supervillain the Destructor for tax fraud. In the course of the trial, Celia’s troubled past comes to light and family secrets are revealed as the rift between Celia and her parents grows deeper. Cut off from friends and family, Celia must come to terms with the fact that she might just be Commerce City’s only hope.

The Other Life by Susanne Winnacker
Summary from Goodreads :
3 years, 1 month, 1 week and 6 days since I’d seen daylight. One-fifth of my life. 98,409,602 seconds since the heavy, steel door had fallen shut and sealed us off from the world
Sherry has lived with her family in a sealed bunker since things went wrong up above. But when they run out of food, Sherry and her dad must venture outside. There they find a world of devastation, desolation…and the Weepers: savage, mutant killers.
When Sherry’s dad is snatched, she joins forces with gorgeous but troubled Joshua – an Avenger, determined to destroy the Weepers.
But can Sherry keep her family and Joshua safe, when his desire for vengeance threatens them all?
What is at the top of your wishlist right now?
They’re both interesting! Is After the Golden Age part of a series?
After the Golden Age is one book I want to get my hands on as well – feel like I’ve been waiting for the paperback for ages! Hope we both get it soon! 🙂
I haven’t heard of either of those books but they look very interesting! I hope you get to read them soon. 🙂

I don’t think I’ve heard of either of these before. Cool!
I think Grave Mercy tops my Wish List right now. It looks so stupendously awesome.
I can’t wait to read it, too! It’s part of my list for the Debs challenge. I heard great things about it so far!
Yes! If you are part of Net Galley, you are auto-approved for a galley! Go get it!
