80’s wrestlers, ghosts, betrayal, indie comics, and more!

August 23, 2016 by Halbs Leave a Comment

Do you enjoy 1980s professional wrestling, indie comics, social media, metal, fantasy, and juvenile humor? Yes? Then For the Title is the book for you! As you can probably tell from the book cover, this is a silly comic. It tells the story of a man called Warrior. He receives a dream visit from a ghost called Macho Ghost. The Macho Ghost needs Warrior to win “the belt” so that Warrior gets a “Champion Wish”. The Champion Wish can let you do anything! Warrior can […]

I Do Love a Punny Title

August 23, 2016 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of food memoirs as their own thing. I’ve read a few, and I have a whole shelf on my Goodreads labeled “food related”, but I just never quite made the connection until Book Riot’s Read Harder Challenge included reading one and I had no trouble at all picking a couple to put on my to read list (most were there already). Cannonball Read loves Lucy Knisley, so I decided to start with hers. Because graphic memoirs and novels […]

Yet another great book from Knisley

August 21, 2016 by yesknopemaybe 2 Comments

Cannonball favorite Lucy Knisley just came out with a new book so of course I had to get my hands on it. Her books are always a high point in my reading life. Getting married was never something Knisley had planned for or looked forward to, so she felt like a fish out of water during much of the planning process. Something New is the story of how she and her now husband tackled their momentous wedding day and the years leading up to it. […]

Can I have the next one now, please?

August 19, 2016 by Malin Leave a Comment

July brought another volume of Saga and there was great rejoicing in the Patterson household (well, at least from me, the husband is still a few books behind. I honestly have no idea where his priorities are). The action has jumped ahead a few years since we last saw our band of plucky protagonists, and Hazel is now living with her grandmother in a detention centre on Landfall, and she’s going to kindergarten and making friends her own age for the first time. She’s becoming […]

In which Kamala meets Wolverine and gets a giant teleporting dog

August 19, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

Kamala Khan has gotten better at juggling her life as a teenage girl with her secret identity as Ms. Marvel. She shoulders her responsibilities as well she can, even when being inundated both in school and in the media that her generation of teens are really just parasites on society, draining it of precious resources and brainlessly just existing in a multi-media reality, without ever giving anything back or asking necessary and critical questions. She geeks out adorably when given a chance to team up […]
