Publisher: Cornerstone DigitalFormat: MOBIRelease Date: November 12th, 2020 Rating: 3/5 Stars Thank you to Cornerstone for providing me with this ebook via NetGalley. Views remain my own, of course! Some of the stories in this anthology are absolutely excellent. Some…really fall flat. It’s a shame. The first few were good enough I immediately got aContinueContinue reading “Book Review: From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back”

Fid’s Crusade – David H. Reiss [BBNYA Blog Tour]
Yet another BBNYA finalist, and my favourite of the three I read. Fid’s Crusade is powerful, charged, and emotional, with a really intriguing take on the superhero mythos. It takes a similar view to The Boys (graphic novel and TV show) when it comes to so-called heroes, but it’s handled in such a different way,ContinueContinue reading “Fid’s Crusade – David H.

The Umbrella Academy, Volume 1: The Apocalypse Suite
Genre: Sci-FiRelease Date: October 17th, 2007Publisher: Dark Horse ComicsRating: 5/5 Stars This seems to happen whenever I talk about graphic novels that have now been adapted. If you have not yet read this yet, don’t expect much in these pages to resemble the TV show. Things like the character names are sometimes the same, butContinueContinue reading “The Umbrella Academy, Volume 1: The Apocalypse Suite”

Catalyst – Tracy Richardson [WriteReads Ultimate Blog Tour]
Synopsis Marcie Horton has a sixth sense. Not in the “I see dead people” way, but . . . well, maybe a little. She feels a sort of knowing about certain things that can’t be explained-an intuition that goes beyond the normal. Then there was that one summer four years ago, when she connected withContinueContinue reading “Catalyst – Tracy Richardson [WriteReads Ultimate Blog Tour]”

April was another month in which I finished a lot of books, which means this is going to be another two parter. April also saw me complete my 2020 Reading Goal, whichContinueContinue reading “April 2020 Reading Wrap Up – Part One [Books]”
The Twilight Zone Radio Dramas, Volume 1 [Books]
Can you tell I am absolutely loving Audible? I try to mix up what I get, and so far I’ve tried non-fiction, full cast, fiction single person narration, and now The Twilight Zone Radio Dramas. Having grown up in the UK, The Twilight Zone wasn’t something I had access to. Not long after we first got together, IContinueContinue reading “The Twilight Zone Radio Dramas, Volume 1 [Books]”
Vicious – V.E. Schwab [Books]
It’s been just over a year now since I started reading books by V.E Schwab, and every single one has been absolute gold. I’m slowly building up my collection and working my way through her novels. So far, I’ve read the Shades of Magic trilogy, The Near Witch, and City of Ghosts, as well as the Steel Prince graphic novel more recently.ContinueContinue reading “Vicious – V.E. Schwab [Books]”
March 2020 Reading Wrap Up – Part One [Books]
January Wrap Up / February Wrap Up I read 16 books in March. It was a very strange month – GP advised me to remain isolated for 2 weeks, which meant I missed the last two weeks of my workplace being open. There was then a gap where they didn’t know if we’d be able toContinueContinue reading “March 2020 Reading Wrap Up – Part One [Books]”
