Book Review: Triptych by J.M. Frey
Posted on June 3, 2013 1 Comment
Triptych by J.M. Frey The worst part about Triptych is falling in love with Kalp, just as the humans, Gwen and Basil do, all the while knowing that he dies. No, that’s not a spoiler. His murder occurs right in the first few pages of the book and I was impressed by the way Frey’s […]

Blood of Dragons by Robin Hobb This is the fourth and final book of the Rain Wild Chronicles series, bringing a close to the story of the dragons and their keepers…for now.

But after about thirty pages, it started to very much feel like the canvas was growing much larger than necessary and […]

Batman: Red Hood – The Lost Days by Judd Winick Before watching Under the Red Hood, I knew very little about Jason Todd. I knew there was a Robin that had died, but being as I was never a big DC fan growing up, I never read about his death or even had much insight […]

I’m focused on World Without End’s Women of Genre Fiction reading challenge and my local library has been good to me. I did my best to walk out with only the books I had requested, but got caught right at the check out desk with the “book of the day”: The Red Chamber by Pauline […]
Graphic Novel Review: Chew, Vol. 1: Taster’s Choice by John Layman
Posted on June 1, 2013 1 Comment
Chew, Vol. 1: Taster’s Choice by John Layman If you have a weak stomach, do not read Chew. It is a foodie’s worst nightmare drawn and spelled out in vivid, disgusting detail. It is, plain and simple, gross. With that warning out of the way, I sit here enjoying my shrimp fried rice while my […]
