So, the class I was subbing for was reading I am Malala (the Young Readers Edition) and as I was reading a good portion of it anyway, I decided to read the whole thing! Malala Yousfzai is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. She spoke up to change the fate of children’s education, especially for girls in her native Pakistan. So my journey through this started with Chapter 14 – 16, then 1-8, 17-19, 9-13, then the rest of the book. But […]
Awesome, but not my favorite Drew Hayes
And so we embark on another journey into the strange world that is Drew Hayes’ imagination. How this guy can come up with so many different, yet complete universes boggles the mind. This one is similar, on paper at least, to his Super Powereds universe. But it’s very different in some very key ways. Like in Super Powereds, we have people with abilities. These people are called metahumans, or metas. Metas can be formed in different ways. They can gain powers during an accident […]
I am Groot
Okay, so I am shamelessly reading and reviewing this before giving it as a gift. (I’m giving it to a 32-year-old man. Who cosplayed as Groot for ComicCon one year. So only the best for my friends!) (Update – he loved it!) Our premise is that Baby Groot is trying to go to bed, but Rocket is having none of that nonsense. There are adventures to be had! The main story is told as a normal bedtime story with rhymes and all, but Rocket […]
“The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.”
So, this is a book of of words. And science. It is actually full of science words. And I understood most some of them! This is supposed to be a summary of astrophysics. A Sparknotes, if you will. A little taste to see if it’s to your liking, and if it is, you can pursue more on your own time. First we start out with a very tiny condensed ball of all of the stuff ever. Then it expands. Our man Neil […]
Just like Thanksgiving dinner, the sides are the best part!
Corpies is a spinoff of the Super Powereds books. It fits between Super Powereds Year 2 and 3 – we hear a little bit about it in Year 3, but not much. Hershel and Roy’s father, the hero called Titan, has decided to finally get off his ass and return to hero work. He had previously left the hero business, or the Life, after a sex scandal ruined his reputation. Not only was Titan caught having sex with someone other than his wife, but it […]
“She must start believing in impossible things, for impossible things kept appearing before her eyes.”
This is not the Wonderland you know. This place is darker. Not much Wonder at all, in fact. It is full of dirt and blood and death. And insanity. Henry does a very good job of letting you know that all is not right in Alice’s mind. The characters from the childhood tale are all here, but they are twisted. Alice begins in a hospital in the Old City. Unlike the New City, where everything is bright and clean and wonderful, the Old […]
