by Leave a Comment

  I’ve actually read Preludes and Nocturnes multiple times since I was a wee 90s teen but I decided to give it a reread since the Netflix series dropped. I’ve been waiting for an onscreen version of Sandman for actual decades so a little refresh was in order so I could pick all the nits in … [Read more]

Cannonball Read Bingo Square: Recommended I'm always eager for a good recommendation, and my friend Mindi gave me this one.
