Weekly Recommendations is a post where I recommend three different kinds of entertainment. They can include anime, comic books, TV shows, films, books, and other types of media.
The Rising: A Novel (The Rising, 1)
- Book
- Science Fiction, Mystery, Action, Adventure
Alex Chin is a popular high school football star. Samantha Dixon, his tutor, is at the top of her class and aspires to make a career out of her NASA internship. Alex is admitted to the hospital following a football injury, and his CT scan reveals odd results. Then someone murders his doctor, and it appears that someone is looking for him. Alex flees, urging Samantha not to follow, but she refuses, especially after learning that Alex’s adoptive parents are dead. The two are racing against time to keep ahead of Alex’s pursuers and figure out why they are chasing him. The cause, however, appears to be tied to his background and his birth parents, of which he is oblivious and whom his adopted parents died trying to protect.
The Ancient Magus’ Bride

Chise Hatori, 15, was abandoned as a child and ridiculed for her odd behavior. All Chise knows now is that she was auctioned off for five million pounds to a tall, masked guy, and that rumors and talk about how this mysterious man acquired a rare “Sleigh Beggy” are spreading. The man introduces himself as Elias Ainsworth, a magus. The two arrive at Elias’ beautiful cottage in rural England, where she begins her story as the ancient magus’ pupil and bride.

The survivors of a zombie apocalypse have separated into humans and zombies. R is a zombie who spends much of his time eating brains and meandering about the same location. When he sees zombies attacking a human girl, he decides to save her. Julie, the human girl, notices that R is different from the other zombies, and they develop a friendship that looks to be changing and humanizing R. As their bond grows stronger, so do his changes, and those changes have the ability to influence the path of Earth’s life.
