Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Ghoul Goblin
Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Ghoul Goblin

Review:Purchased for my husband who has read both of Butcher's series and his short stories. He read this in one night because it is set up like a commic book which I did not know when I purchased and I don't think is clear in its description. He liked it but would rather have had a regular book with more content and longer reading time. Read more

A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Hercule Poirot Mysteries)
A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Hercule Poirot Mysteries)

Review:Never read an Agatha Christie novel but was inspired to purchase one from watching a Doctor Who episode. I purchased the 1960s hardcover edition and it looks like it got here from a time machine itself. The cover, inside binding, and pages look brand new. Very happy Read more

Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet Book 1
Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet Book 1

Review:Ta-Nehisi I'm grateful that Jack Kirby and Stan Lee have accepted you into the world they created. As a Kenyan it is profound that the founders had the foresight to see beyond their country into the Universe that is the African Continent its people their cultural heritage resources and struggle s. I'm glad you did your research and used our languages it was exhilarating to read Swahili text you made it real. Read more

Hell House
Hell House

Review:This kept me on the edge of my seat and awake all hours of the night. It is one of those rare novels you relish so, that you don't want it to be over. You actually care about the characters to the point you will miss them. Wonderful. Read more

Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR Therapy
Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR Therapy

Review:If you need to be convinced that your past is controlling your daily life then this is a great read with literally 300 pages of various cases where EMDR has healed past memories so the client can now live free from there present condition. However, it will be disappointing if you are looking to know how to do EMDR by reading the book. What is good though, is the detailed description of the techniques used to get in touch with your past. If you wondered if EMDR was an effective form of therapy th... Read more

Welcome to the Jungle (Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files
Welcome to the Jungle (Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files

Review:First and foremost, this is exactly what it claims to be...I have knocked it two points, because it really isn't very long, and frankly overpriced for what it is. The art is fine to good. The story is a good short story quality piece, that is a nice fun read. Did I mention it was short? Read more

The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins
The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins

Review:Like most people who've bought this comic, I'm a huge fan of The Adventure Zone's podcastian form, which puts me in a bit of a biased position... but whatever. This comic is amazing; in its own way, even more so than the original material.

The art's cartoony style is perfect for the combination of somewhat-serious storytelling and semi-crude humor, and the characters - Magnus, Merle and Taako (and Griffin, our Dungeon Master) - are perfectly represented in both their expressions and body ... Read more

Bitch Planet, Vol. 1: Extraordinary Machine
Bitch Planet, Vol. 1: Extraordinary Machine

Review:Bitch Planet is more of a collection of comics than a graphic novel. The story is one where women who are non-compliant are sent to live at the Auxillary Compliance Outpost, otherwise known as Bitch Planet. It's smart and snarky and feminist, and although the format isn't really my thing because I much prefer regular words on a page books, it's definitely worth picking up. Read more

Rat Queens Volume 1: Sass & Sorcery
Rat Queens Volume 1: Sass & Sorcery

Review:The art and creative concept are great, but I wasn't drawn in by the narrative the way I'd hoped. I got mostly the impression of a series of events and not a lot of overall intrigue. I'll probably read more in the series to see if that trend continues. Read more

Paper Girls Volume 1
Paper Girls Volume 1

Review:Since Paper Girls is an ongoing series rather than a miniseries, I'll be collecting both the monthly-release issues, and the trade paperbacks. The first five issues comprise an introductory arc; more questions asked than answered as we're taken from one bizarre predicament to the next.

The series is one of many comics to pay tribute to 1980's culture; it's been a bit of a trend lately. However, instead of focusing on the superficial spark and flash of that decade, we're offered more in th... Read more
