I'm a marketing designer for a local community bank looking to improve my writing skills. I've always been an avid reader but never completed a full cannonball. I'm aiming for a full cannonball for 2023.

Not as enjoyable as I hoped

The Trouble with Peace (The Age of Madness Book 2) by Joe Abercrombie

by Leave a Comment

I bought my first book by Joe Abercrombie by mistake. I did not mean to click the ‘buy it now’ button, but I did, and I eventually read and thoroughly enjoyed The Blade Itself – Book one of the First Law Trilogy. I went on to devour the other two books of that trilogy, then consumed the whole Shattered Sea Trilogy in a month. I was excited to learn that Abercrombie was returning to the First Law world with another trilogy – The Age of Madness. The first book of […]

Making Comics by Lynda Barry

by 2 Comments

Part comic book, part course curriculum, and part self-help book, Making Comics by Lynda Barry can show and teach you to see stories in simple drawings. And how to make those drawings yourself! Lynda Barry is a cartoonist, author, and teacher, and Making Comics reads as if you were a student in her comics class. Barry teaches us how to draw without judgment by showing us that the drawings we made as kids were simplistic – but we knew what they were! That yellow circle […]

A Tale of Two Sisters

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

by Leave a Comment

A bestselling historical fiction novel set during World War II, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah is best if you only think of it as fiction. Hannah may have researched the details of France and WWII, but her characters initially struck me as stereotypical: Vianne, the older responsible sister Isabelle, the beautiful and spontaneous troubled teen Gaetan, the striking escaped prisoner, headed to the French resistance movement The broken and brooding father The handsome, kind Nazi  Thankfully, Hannah developed more complex emotions and motivations for her […]

Not exactly a sequel

Stiletto: A Novel (The Rook Files) by Daniel O'Malley

by Leave a Comment

Daniel O’Malley’s first novel, The Rook, is easily one of my favorite and satisfying books I have read, so I made sure to add Stiletto to my must-read list. I read a few early reviews, so I wasn’t surprised by the fact that Stiletto isn’t a direct sequel to The Rook. In The Rook, we meet Rook Thomas right after she lost her memory and gained her powers. We get to know Thomas as she gets to understand herself. O’Malley crafted a near perfect fantasy thriller with The Rook, […]

A Heavyweight Collection

Bone: The Complete Cartoon Epic in One Volume by Jeff Smith

by Leave a Comment

I began reading comic books in the early nineties. There was no local comic shop in my tiny town, but I was able to use a mail-order service, and a few weeks later a package would arrive at home with my new issues, catalog, and if I was lucky a free promotional comic. One such time, I received a copy of Bone #1 (8th printing), and I was transported into the adventures of the Bone cousins. All those years ago I was able to read […]

Damned if you do…

Damnificados by JJ Amaworo Wilson

by Leave a Comment

Damnificados is a story of survival, of diversity, of faith, and of the fantastical. We are introduced to the Damnificados (a population of misfits and vagabonds) as they fight a two-headed wolf and its pack to take residence in an abandoned skyscraper. This building was built with corruption and constructed upon a heap of garbage and has been unoccupied since the death of its “mayor.” The group is successful and lead by a reluctant leader, Nacho, and the Damnificados build a thriving and sustainable community within the tower […]
