VBT# Get You The Moon - Hasnita Singh

VBT# Get You The Moon - Hasnita Singh - July 2021 I was excited to read this book and as I started it felt great to read as I felt at home. This book was set in Auckland, New Zealand. Being from New Zealand myself, it just felt like I was more invested in this book. The author captured the NZ culture well with sports, academics, and families. In Get You The Moon we have our main character leads Scarlet Bridge and Levi Henare. These two are the top academics at the high school and have been arch-enemies since Year 9/10.

Being in New Zealand, we don't have the massive Comic-Con's and different conventions like they do overseas but we do have our own small one in a couple of the major cities around New Zealand. This year's Armaggedon over Labour Weekend was held at the Auckland ASB Showgrounds and was an amazing collective group of fans from all around New Zealand. There was something for everyone at the event and for those who love to cosplay and dress up , the choices were endless. Something I did notice was that this year we had a lack of Harley Quinn's and Jokers as last Armaggedon after the release of the Suicide Squad movie , that had seemed to be the "In Costume". My partner Bryan cosplayed this year as Corvo Attano from the Dishonoured game which came Game of the Year and he even found a buddy who had gone with the same character. In terms of the Special Guests , we had Nathan Fillion who I was more excited to see due to his Castle Days rather than Firefly. I...
