Although I’ve been keeping up to date with Chainsaw Man‘s second arc via the Shonen Jump app, I’ve also been making sure to keep my Chainsaw Man shelf growing with each new physical release. Still, it wasn’t until last night that I decided to sit down and re-read those volumes in that form. I’d been meaning to, knowing from my time with She-Hulk that following any comic/manga issue by issue is an entirely different experience, and for me usually one that drags down the material […]

Early Disney puts the D (as in the grade) in Disney for me

Walt Disney's Classic Storybook by Disney

by Leave a Comment

Since these collections don’t appear to list an author, I’ve listed it as “Disney” here for simplicity’s sake. This was a book my wife picked up for me at a thrift store, thinking it was in surprisingly good condition and that it would be of interest to me, given my love for animation. While I appreciate the historical and artistic aspect of it, the stories themselves fall flat for me. Color me controversial, but I never understood the appeal of most of Disney’s early “classics.” […]

Cosplay and Confrontation By Sarah Zane Gwen has screwed up everything. She is supposed to be one of the headliners at the Portland’s biggest LARP/cosplay convention. However, after breaking up with her boyfriend Artie and running away to San Francisco to live with her new “boyfriend,” none of her former friends will even speak to her.

Love in Masquerade

My Only Valentine by Victoria Henshaw, Julia Parks, Donna Simpson

by Leave a Comment

Three couples in Regency England find their way to each other through various Valentine’s Day related events and hijinks. In “The Valentine Poem” by Victoria Henshaw, Susan Kimball falls in love with her Italian tutor, little suspecting that he is actually a nobleman undercover. This is a cute romance with little plot, and I liked the relationship between John and his half-brother the duke. However, Susan’s bleak moment seemed very illogical for a generally logical heroine – it really should have been timed for before […]

Husbands Don’t Do Anything, AMIRITE???

The Husbands by Chandler Baker

by Leave a Comment

I remember the first time I  watched The Stepford Wives ( I didn’t read the book until my teens) ,I remember being really angry and scared of those husbands.  I was little, and it was all so terrifying seeing men controlling women like that and turning them into robots.  I can laugh now, because I didn’t know it was satire and I didn’t know that I would be dealing with some men who probably find the idea of a Stepford Wife appealing.  So imagine my […]

Could be better, could be worse

In 27 Days by Alison Gervais

by Leave a Comment

I was scrolling through the library website, looking for an available book that sounded good, because all the books on my TBR that I wanted to read then weren’t available. I came across this book, read the description, thought it would either be interesting or not very well done, but decided to give it a try. In 27 Days is about a girl named Hadley, who goes to the same school as Archer, a boy she barely knows. One day, Archer commited suicide and Hadley […]
