Deadpool Kills Deadpool is one of a number of Deadpool related swag I hauled in for my birthday, as well as being the third and final act of the Deadpool Killology. I read the second part, Deadpool Killustrated, nearly three years ago, but this was extremely easy to slip back into. For those who haven’t read the series so far, its premise is simple… Knowing that, as a fictional character, nothing really matters and wanting an end to it all, in the first part of […]
Decent Y/A Novel by the Creator of “Veronica Mars”
“Rats Saw God” follows the story of Steven York, a high school senior who went from promising student to checked-out stoner in the course of a year. In an effort to engage him, Steven’s guidance counselor asks him to write a 100-page essay in order to graduate. What follows is a split narrative between the previous year Steven spent in Texas with his astronaut father and the present in San Diego where he struggles to put his life back together after getting his heart broken […]
The worst part was finding out there were only two books…
I loved Veronica Mars the tv show (or as I like to call it “Other Buffy”). I went through the heartbreak of season 3 being canceled without resolving a major storyline and donated to the crowdfunding of the movie with glee. I vaguely knew that Rob Thomas had written fictional books before or after the series and the thought randomly popped into my head the other day. Realizing that books existed that continued the story post-movie, I devoured both in a few days. Jumping back into […]
Ordinary but Extraordinary
This is probably not the place to admit, I have never read a novel by Jane Austen. (Though I did read Austenland by Shannon Hale and The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, so I have been introduced to how Ms. Austen has influenced the world of literature). Classics have never been my cup of tea; therefore, I have read very few. However, I do enjoy reading biography of authors. Even if they are in a picture book format. While I am giving Ordinary, Extraordinary Jane […]
“I said I could and I would. And I did.”
I learned about Nellie Bly the way I learn about most rule breaking, history making and forgotten women in history- through Drunk History. I was surprised to see that my library had Ten Days in a Mad House since it is essentially just her 1887 newspaper article. After reading Mad House, and really liking it, I sought out Around the World in Seventy-Two Days and found it for .99 on Kindle. I was less enthralled by Around the World- it’s pretty racist (a product of “the time”). Ten Days in a Mad House is […]
I’m not sure I understood it, but I liked it?
“The world is hard and unforgiving, it can change you. Because we’re made up of all the things that happen to us. The good things fill your heart. But the bad things, and what we choose to do with them, really make us who we are…” Okay, so this was a weird one and I’m not sure I grasped everything that went down. I’m not at all familiar with Doom Patrol, so I don’t have any prior knowledge coming into this. I liked My Chemical […]
