| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Tomorrow, by Damian Dibben, is one of two starred fiction titles this week. “Celebrating the strength of human and animal ties, this compelling and satisfying novel is similar in spirit to Bruce Cameron’s A Dog’s Purpose and A Dog’s Journey.” In nonfiction, Stephen Rosenfield's Mastering Stand-Up: The Complete Guide to Becoming a Successful Comedian is a good selection "for anyone thinking of performing stand-up and others who like an enjoyable read." In graphic novels, Firebug, written and illustrated by Johnnie Christmas, with additional illustration by Tamra Bonvillain and Ariana Maher, "introduces an exciting and fresh world that will leave fans of the genre wanting more." And in e-originals, Tara Leigh's Rock King is a "solid entry to a new series ["Nothing but Trouble"] sure to be a hit with fans of bad boy rockers and new adult romance."
