I have an 80’s music playlist on Spotify. It is named “the greatest decade known to mankind”. This may have greatly influenced my review of Ready Player One. (And just like the book, my playlist is not religiously limited to the 80’s). I loved Ready Player One. I held it close, I stroked it, I stayed up all night to…read it. It is my soulmate, my dream, my future, my everything. Ahem. Sorry. It’s been awhile since I was truly excited about a book. So […]
Why is this book over? How am I not still reading it?
What a breathtaking novel. Enormous in every possible way, and yet somehow totally personal and relatable. I devoured “Alif the Unseen,” and I wish I were still reading it. On its surface, “Alif the Unseen” is the story of a young man, a hacker in a present day un-named police state in the Persian Gulf. He has girl troubles and so he codes a pretty little program to hide his digital presence from his ex-girlfriend, and in doing so taps into the world of jinn […]
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 […]

She enlists the help of the divine smith, Hephaestus, for suitable arms and […]
Started from the bottom, now we’re here.
BOOM! Studios has a history of publishing books with amazing premises and sometimes disappointing execution. I have bought at least four of their titles, and three of them have been purchases that I regretted. Freelancers, however, is light-hearted fun from beginning to end. Val and Cassie, like a lot of twenty-somethings, are trying to grow their brand in L.A. Unlike the usual actors, writers, and bloggers, they’re freelance fixers/bodyguards/bounty hunters. It’s a different skillset, but one that they grew up developing. Chapter one lets you […]
It just keeps being awesome, you guys
Saga is my favourite comic book of the last few years and I feel like I do nothing but spend my days waiting for a new trade paperback to come out. I managed to save volume five for an unprecedented nine days from buying it until I actually read it, because I know that it’ll probably be another six months at least until I get more. The writing is flawless, the art is breathtaking. The plot is never, even for a second, predictable. The six […]
