What did I just read? This comic certainly is completely different from anything I’ve experienced before. So the first time Suzie masturbates and orgasms, it literally makes time freeze. She’s not sure if it’s like that for everyone and having no one to ask, and limited resources to figure things out, she’s a bit lost. Then she meets Jon at a party and is surprised to discover that it’s exactly the same for him. They’ve always believed themselves to be alone, and now, when they’ve […]
Season three of Daredevil?
Like so many others, I was a huge fan of the first season of the Netflix series Daredevil. I decided that the time had come to look at some source material. In what could easily become season three of the series, Karen Page, Matt Murdock’s former legal secretary and ex-girlfriend is down on her luck in Mexico. After a failed porn career, she’s now a heroin junkie and she sells Matt’s secret identity as Daredevil for her next fix. The name falls into criminal mastermind […]
Consider me an official fangirl
Spoilers for Volume 1. The second volume of The Wicked + The Divine only continues to amaze and surprise. I’m so glad I’ve finally found a series I can properly fangirl over. In this volume, Laura, the main character, is dealing with her grief over the surprising and tragic death of Lucifer, the god she grew close to in the first installment. She’s clearly numb to the rest of the world and the rest of the gods until she’s pulled back in by some new […]
Like Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, but not boring
Hoo-boy, this book was such a delight. I think it ties with The Girls at the Kingfisher Club for most entertaining reads of 2015. The story takes place in Napoleonic Era England and the magicians are in crisis due to an abnormally low supply of magic in the atmosphere. They’re already trying to conserve resources, but pretty soon, they’re going to be in deep trouble. Unfortunately, the blame for this problem is lain at the feet of Zacharias Wythe, the young Sorcerer Royal of the […]
HO HO HO.
“IT’S THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR LITTLE FACES I LIKE, said the Hogfather. ‘You mean sort of fear and awe and not knowing whether to laugh or cry or wet their pants?’ YES. NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL BELIEF.” “YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. ‘So we can believe the big ones?’ YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.” — This is my favorite Discworld book in quite some time. It’s just so good! It’s not as quippy or […]
More demons, more danger in the Hollows Series
I finally dove back into the Hollows series last month to see what new trouble has found Rachel Morgan. In For a Few Demons More, book five in the series, every supernatural creature is hunting for the ancient artifact from book 4, which of course, Rachel Morgan has hiding in her freezer! Two werewolf packs, Trent Kalamack her elf nemesis and eventually Piscary the vampire boss start sniffing around for this powerful object. While ducking the supernatural power struggle, Morgan is asked to help hunt a serial […]
