On ‘Guilty Pleasure’ Reading
We love books, right? Otherwise you probably wouldn’t be reading this blog. And something I see often – especially among women readers – is that habit of saying they particularly enjoy this genre, or this series, or this author, or this book, but they stumble over the words and add on the end, like anContinueContinue reading “On ‘Guilty Pleasure’ Reading”
iZombie, Vol. 2: uVampire [Graphic Novel]
Vol 1: Dead to the World Review As much as I love the iZombie TV show, I still wish we could get the graphic novel as a show. They’re two vastly different beasts, with iZombie taking on more of a paranormal, urban fantasy aspect, including vampires, wereterriers, and ghosts alongside the title zombie. The secondContinueContinue reading “iZombie, Vol. 2: uVampire [Graphic Novel]”

Penny Dreadful, Volume 1 [Books]
Genre: Horror Publisher: Titan Comics Rating: I really liked the TV series Penny Dreadful. (Not the ending though, but I can’t remember the last time a TV show ending actually left me satisfied) Penny Dreadful is what a good The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen adaptation should look like. Vanessa, in particular, is a fantastic character throughout the series, and I wasContinueContinue reading “Penny Dreadful, Volume 1 [Books]”

But when rescuers do reach it, they discover the site of a massacre, andContinueContinue reading “Devolution – Max Brooks [Books]”
iZombie, Vol 1: Dead to the World [Books]
Once I’d finished reading this, I checked out the Netflix series. If you’ve only experienced either the series or the graphic novel, be aware – they are completely different. Even the names of the characters are changed – Gwen in the graphic novel, Olivia in the series. So far I’ve only seen two episodes ofContinueContinue reading “iZombie, Vol 1: Dead to the World [Books]”
