Halo - Cryptum, by Greg Bear
Dead Space 2 (Video Game)
Obviously the best game this month. It's so scary that you would need your mom to sit next to you! "Necromorphs" pop out of nowhere and if you kind of suck at video games, it will be frustrating, because on the easiest level, I still died a lot. I'm pretty good at video games, so I'm not complaining.

Wired, by Robin Wasserman
A tightly-woven story that focuses on the loss of humanity, and what it really means to be human. The sequel to Skinned, this novel develops the idea of Faithers, who are anti-skinners and pro-human. The main character, Lia, feels like she has lost what it means to be human, but then discovers her humanity in the most surprising places. Each more surprising than the last, it is when Lia finds out that her make is not unique to her, and that the group she lives with, who think the "Skinners" are more superior than humans, might be keeping secrets and have an unholy connection with Biotech.

The Body Toxic, by Nena Baker
This book was really good. It was really shocking, and makes you rethink how you live. It's all about the hundreds of chemicals in our everyday life and the environment. It is interesting, but really scary because of how many companies hide what is in their products and food, and the tragic effects of these chemicals. This is a non-fiction book and research-based, but definitely a must read!
