The Borgia Mistress by Sara Poole, 406 pages

"The Borgia Mistress" is an intrigue filled historical novel, with Francesca as a strong central character. Sara Poole has brought to life the Papal Court of Pope Alexander VI and his quest for a lasting legacy of the Borgia family. As the third book in this series, it can stand alone but is better enjoyed read in order due to the rich and complex back story.

Infestation, 257 pages

This was a graphic novel featuring a zombie outbreak crossing over multiple dimensions involving Transformers, GI Joe, Star Trek, Ghostbusters, and COV. I was very excited about this but ended up being a little disappointed in the book. It required much more back knowledge than I had since I don't read all of these comics.
