Gaiman smushes the stories of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty together in this gorgeously illustrated novella.  The setting of the book is sometime after Snow White is awakened from her coffin and at the 100 year mark after Sleeping Beauty’s curse set in.

So, when reading this book I could draw some parallels because I am happily married with three […]

We last left Veronica Mars back in her hometown of Neptune, California, following (Spoilers for the VM movie) a case that involved her on again/off again/epic love interest Logan Echolls, a high school reunion for the ages, and some people with a grudge against her dad. Since that adventure, Veronica has decided to stay & work at Mars Investigations, but the beginning of The Thousand Dollar Tan Line finds that Spring Break in Neptune is not exactly old-home week. There’s a distinct lack of casework […]
