Marie Lu’s first published, young adult novel finally hits the bookstores today. She is a personal and close friend to Defective Geeks and I hope you are all out there grabbing your copy off the bookshelves crazy-lady-with-pepper-spray-at-WalMart-Black-Friday style! The internet is all a-buzz with articles, book reviews and interviews about LEGEND — especially since Twilight producer, Wyck Godfrey, had declared that LEGEND ‘blows the socks off Hunger Games.’

Read my review of the book and my short interview with her: ART: Day from Marie Lu’s LEGEND + Book Review & Interviews.

You can also order the book from Amazon.com, of course.

This Thursday, December 1, 2011 – Team DefectiveGeeks will be joining Marie at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in Redondo Beach at 7:30pm for the book release launch party. Check out the event page on Facebook and come out to join the fun. Marie will be signing copies of her books available for purchase at the store plus there will be yummy snack foods. See you guys there!
