Graphic Novel Review: Batgirl: The Darkest Reflection by Gail Simone

Posted on June 10, 2013 Leave a Comment

Batgirl: The Darkest Reflection by Gail Simone Full disclosure. I stopped reading the New 52 after four comics. I read Mister Terrific #1, Justice League #1, Detective Comics #1, and Swamp Thing #1. Out of those four comics, I was only impressed with Detective Comics and Swamp Thing. Justice League was only “meh” and didn’t […]

Saga, Vol. 2 by Brian K. Vaughan Giant troll scrotum aside, this was an incredibly heartwarming and heartbreaking read. If you’ve made it this far in the series, nothing should shock you. If you haven’t read Saga yet, then you may have heard about the crazy and even the controversy surrounding issue #12. Let’s just […]

I’m not necessarily a fan of historical fiction, or of the Arthurian legend, but a friend recommended this to me and I ended up loving the book so much that I bought the entire series and have read it twice. The Warlord Chronicles is the story of King Arthur, as told in the first person […]

Mogsy: A Book That I’ve Read More Than Three Times

Posted on June 5, 2013 Leave a Comment

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien Okay, I’m going to cheat a little for this question. The thing is, I don’t typically reread books. If I were to read a book again, it would be a book that I love, and generally books that I love, I remember very, very well, and that’s why rereading isn’t […]

Audio Book Review: City of Lies by Lian Tanner

City of Lies by Lian Tanner Okay, let’s see if I can pull this review off without making it another gush-fest on my love for Claudia Black. As usual, her narration is fantastic, but for this second book of The Keepers Trilogy, I want to focus on the story because that’s what I think really […]

Playing Tyler by T.L. Costa Expected Date of Publication: July 2, 2013 Thank you to Netgalley and Angry Robot/Strange Chemistry for providing me with an e-ARC of Playing Tyler in exchange for an honest review. When I read the synopsis for this young adult novel, it was the video game angle that initially piqued my […]

Book Review: The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold

Posted on June 3, 2013 Leave a Comment

The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold A shadowy curse hangs over the royal family of Chalion and it falls to a broken man to save them from the curse and the political viper pit that threatens to bring them down. I fell in love with Cazaril not long after he was introduced. When […]
