by Leave a Comment

Plague-Busters!: Medicine's Battles with History's Deadliest Diseases by Lindsey Fitzharris and Adrian Teal is probably my new favorite nonfiction read of 2023 (I know it is still only late April, but something tells me I won’t be reading too many more nonfictions and if I do, nothing will match up … [Read more]

As much as I like this series, I give you two more volumes and please finish the story arc

The Nightmare Brigade V03 Finding Alice by Franck Thillez

by Leave a Comment

In many ways, volume three of The Nightmare Brigade: Finding Alice is both my least due to changes happening to the characters and some of the new characters added are not “fleshed out” enough (hopefully that is a “yet”). However, it is also a favorite due to getting the bigger picture we had had … [Read more]
