Tom Taylor is trying to find his way back to his friends, moving through a number of children’s stories. Even when he’s reunited with his storyteller father, Wilson Taylor, who by writing a popular fantasy series where the main character shared Tom’s name, pretty much gave him the abilities to move through all manner of works of fiction, and his friends, the world is in chaos, as the Leviathan, the source of all the stories in the world, is gravely wounded. The boundaries between stories […]
Perfect Reading Choice for Carpet Installation
On Thursday we had carpeting installed in our three bedrooms and since all the furniture from those three rooms were stacked in my living room and dining room I was confined to my kitchen from about 10:30am to 2:30pm. In this time I unwrapped 72 candy canes and made about 80 ounces of peppermint bark for my husband and I’s coworkers, hostess gifts for holiday parties and Christmas Day. I also made 2 dozen cookies for good measure. With about an hour left before I […]
A pretty disappointing crossover – not sorry I waited so long to read it
Tommy Taylor has been separated from his friends and is desperately trying to find a way back to them. He also needs to stop the ancient adversary, Pullman, from killing the legendary Leviathan once and for all, but is waylaid on his journey when the various witches and magical personages of Fabletown attempt to summon the greatest mage the worlds have ever seen, in order to stop the menace threatening their own realms. Tommy is pretty sure he’s not the person they’re looking for, but […]
The feels, I have them
This is a lovely little book written by Jomny Sun, an alien with a Twitter account and a charming take on life on Earth. In real life, Jomny is Jonathan Sun, one of those geniuses who is a writer, illustrator, architect, engineer etc. In addition to his sweet Twitter account, he helps create an online newsletter called Bouncy Castle that brings sunshine directly to your inbox, along with Twitter magician Darth. I might be a fan. The book itself is a longer version of Jomny’s […]
Change is What You Make of It.
I adore Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel. I am so glad that G. Willow Wilson is writing her. I’m so happy this all exists. Kamala has come a long way from her exposure to the Terrigen mist and that first fan girly team up with Wolverine. Some members of her family know, she’s a member of the Avengers, and Jersey City has come to view her as their own superhero. But success and notoriety come with a price. Reputations can be changed with just a whisper, […]
Are you my mummy?
“It’s our very capacity for self-consciousness that makes us self-destructive.” The name Bechdel is for me synonymous with the Bechdel test. I was, of course, vaguely aware that the phrase originated from a person named Bechdel who did something with comic strips or drawing on the internet, but other than that it was just a feminist test that was popular for a while, but has since gone somewhat out of fashion. <sidenote> The Bechdel test has been criticized for being insufficient, that it’s too easy.
