Andre The Giant: Life And Legend by Box Brown | Book Review

September 7, 2014

I am really taken with non-fiction graphic novels. I already legitimately love non-fiction books and love graphic novels, so the combination for Andre The Giant: Life And Legend by Box Brown had me over the moon excited. I really also wanted to read Andre The Giant: Life And Legend for some hopeful bits on the film The Princess Bride

Vampire Academy: The Graphic Novel by Richelle Mead | Book Review

September 6, 2014

You know how sometimes you get on this reading roll where you are reading all of the books ever at once and it’s so awesome and you are like hey, I might as well beat my own record this weekend by picking up a super fast graphic novel of a book that I already love? Well, yes that’s exactly why I read Vampire Academy: The Graphic Novel by Richelle Mead adapted by Leigh Dragoon and illustrated by Emma Vieceli. Pretty much this book took me exactly 40 minutes to read and let me tell you straight out that I refuse to spend longer on this review than the book took me to read, it’s just the principle of the matter.

The Harlem Hellfighters by Max Brooks | Book Review

August 3, 2014

Zits: Chillax | Jerry Scott | Book Review

April 29, 2014

I somehow did not even know that the word “chillax” was still a thing. I was unaware that people still used it seriously, given that it was cool when I was in high school like 10 years ago. I mean, we would put up AIM away messages (LOL, remember those?) saying things like “just chillaxing […]

Wintertown | Stephen Emond | Book Review

March 31, 2014

I feel a bit like an odd girl out when it comes to Wintertown by Stephen Emond because it turns out most of my friends were neutral about it and I, personally, LOVED it. I began reading Wintertown after finishing the super intense, super long The Lies Of Locke Lamora in need of an intensely different book. You see, I […]
