Married, mom of two, history PhD, feminist. I've been participating in Cannonball Read since CBR4. I love to read, and writing reviews keeps me from reading without thinking. I feel like I owe it to the authors who entertain me to savor their creations. It's like slowing down and enjoying a delicious meal instead of bolting your food.

ElCicco #CBR6 Review #2: The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story; a graphic novel written by Vivek J. Tiwary, art by Andrew Robinson with Kyle Baker

January 4, 2014 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

ElCicco #CBR6 Review #1: Jeeves and the Wedding Bells: an Homage to P.G. Wodehouse by Sebastian Faulks

January 3, 2014 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

At stake is the happiness of Bertie Wooster’s friend Woody. His engagement to Lord Henry’s daughter Amelia is in jeopardy due to a combination of misunderstanding and financial crisis.
