Here are reviews for the books I read in July that I didn’t have time or energy to do a full review on. Note: I was out of work in July so I read a lot. The Woman in Cabin 10 *** Read this while on a cruise ship and it definitely gave me some interesting feelings! A relatively entertaining thriller. I’d read another Ruth Ware book but wouldn’t rush out to do so From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen**** […]

Two Stories, Rethought

Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld

Thor Vol 1: The Goddess of Thunder by Jason Aaron

January 27, 2020 by Manimama Leave a Comment

  I’m a big Jane Austen fan and Pride and Prejudice is my favorite of her works. Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld is a modern-day retelling of this classic story that stays pretty faithful to the spirit of the original. Elizabeth Bennet is here re-imagined as a writer for a women’s magazine. She is 38 and living in New York City. She and her elder sister, Jane, unexpectedly return to Cincinnati after their father has a heart attack. They find their family and their childhood home […]

Thor Volume 2: Who Holds the Hammer? by Jason Aaron

September 21, 2017 by Halbs 1 Comment

This book includes three issues of the current Thor run, an issue of Thor Annual (a periodic collection of one-shot stories) and a What If? story from forty years ago (a story outside of the normal Marvel timeline). Unfortunately, despite the buffet of options, this collection features little thriller and a lot of filler. I’m disappointed that Marvel would put out a trade with only a few lackluster issues and then slap in some random Thor comics in the back. However, I did think that the […]

Thor: Goddess of Courage and Quips

Thor Vol. 1: The Goddess of Thunder by Jason Aaron

September 6, 2017 by Halbs 2 Comments

I have no real knowledge of Thor other than the Marvel movies and some heavy metal songs that I kind of understand, so my background of Thor’s Marvel mythology is limited. Thor, that chiseled Norse god of the uncovered torso, can’t get it up. He can’t pick up Mjolnir, his hammer. It’s just sitting on a moon. He’s been trying for weeks to pick it up and it won’t budge. Thor won’t eat or sleep. Thor just wants to hammer, but he can’t. Finally, he […]

Introducing Your New Thor

Thor Vol. 1: Goddess of Thunder by Jason Aaron, Russell Dauterman

July 5, 2017 by Emmalita 8 Comments

“There must always be a Thor.” Towards the end of Original Sin, white Nick Fury whispered a secret into Thor’s ear, which caused him to drop Mjolnir on the moon. Goddess of Thunder opens with the fallout of a Thor who no longer holds the power of Thor. I haven’t come across Roxxon Corporation as a direct antagonist much in the Marvel Comic Universe, so I’m not sure if Thor and Roxxon have a special relationship, or if this is something new for a new, Midgard-born […]

“But. My hammer,” said Thor.

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

April 9, 2017 by borisanne Leave a Comment

Before I read it, it felt like I’d been waiting for Norse Mythology my entire life. In the sense that I wanted it so badly the minute that I heard that it was coming. So, oops. It’s fine, but it’s not, like, life-alteringly amazingly incredible. I could have waited another minute before reading it. Taken a breath. Read something else. Taken this to the beach. Which isn’t to say it’s not a delight, it’s just that it doesn’t take a thing and change everything you’ve […]
