found that book :D

remember that book i talked about in the last post "The Umbrella Academy"? well i found it :D i already read it and it's crazy as hell confusing. pretty awesome. me and my sis (my sis was helping because i made her) were looking all over the library for it and we were looking for it on the computer running back and forward between the isles and it was really funny for some reason. by the 5th time running back and forth between the rows of books i could barely see because i was laughing so hard i was crying :'D i was trying to run back but then i saw this random book cover with a man with the face of a kitten on the front cover and i cracked up so badly XD i had to cover my mouth not to disturb anyone else, wipe my eyes and try to walk to the YAF (young adult fiction) section. i could barely walk because i was laughing so hard. i found it in the end and don't judge me but it's about 7 superheroes who re-unite as adults after beating the bad guys as kids. aww hell here's the blurb:

in an inexplicable worldwide event, 47 extraordinary children were spontaneously born by women who'd previously shown no signs of pregnancy. millionaire inventor Reginald Hargreeves adopted 7 of the children; when asked why, his only explanation was, "to save the world".

these 7 children form The Umbrella Academy, a dysfunctional family of superheroes with bizarre powers. their first adventure at the age of 10 pits them against an erratic and deadly Eiffel tower, plotted by the fearsome zombie-robot Gustave Eiffel. nearly a decade later, the team disbands, but when Hargreeves unexpectedly dies, these disgruntled siblings re-unite just in time to save the world once again.

dammit i love this comic!!! lol weird how if you ask my friend what kinda book was my fav they'd  probably say "horror" *cough-Tre-cough* but it is in fact comics. also if you ask them who's my fav author only Luma'd know it's Shirley Marr and Darren Shan. well, they don't ask, they don't know. even though i know i know a lot of things about them. i'm sad now :'( and it's raining :"( bye. 
gonna go read the umbrella academy again to cheer me up...
