Reading: I’ve still got more comics to read, and a small lull in between books I’m scheduled to review, so now I have to decide which series to tackle first, because most of my remaining pile is the sort of series that need to be read all in one go! Watching: Mostly The Chilling Adventures […]

Reading: A few more comics, but also Gideon the Ninth, which is delightful. Many of my friends have already read it, so as I get through bits, I can talk about those with them. Watching: Juggling Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, though we also took a break to watch Hamilton at the beginning of the month. Listening […]

I read the first volume of Princeless a while ago, but I didn’t wind up reviewing it. So as a quick recap, Princeless is the story of Princess Adrienne, whose parents have locked her in a tower (as they’ve done with her many other sisters) to keep her “safe”. She escapes, and her family thinks she’s been […]

We picked up The New Brighton Archeological Society, book 1 because a) it had an airship on the cover, b) cute kids having adventures, and c) archaeology (which I insist upon spelling with the extra “a”, even if the book does not). It primarily came through on points a and b, with not much archaeology to […]

Reading: I’m working my way through my stacks of graphic novels. In addition to things I plan to review here, I’m also progressing through The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, and Doctor Aphra. A lot of these graphic novels have been stacked up for a long time, and it’s a good feeling to watch that stack shrink! Watching: […]

I’ve had a little time to start dipping back into my unread graphic novels stacks (yes, plural), so I’ll be reviewing a handful of them here on my blog. The first one I tackled was Air volume 1, which is written by G. Willow Wilson (perhaps better known for her Ms. Marvel run, which I love). […]

Reading: Books to review, though I will run out of those I’ve promised to review soon, and then I get to start pulling all those books from my TBR pile, some of which may have been there for … a while. Watching: We watched “Knives Out” recently, which was a fun movie. And we’ve been […]
