If you read my review of volume one of this series, you will know that whilst I (kinda) enjoyed it, it was too much of a fast-moving storyline with no character connection. I was hoping that volume two would flesh out the characters a little bit more, and that we would stop in one time for a little bit longer so that I could get used to the world, rather than moving around really quickly so that I get whiplash. …
I am absolutely in love with Brian K. Vaughan’s Saga series. I genuinely cannot get enough of it, so when I found out that Vaughan had written another graphic novel series about teenagers who deliver newspapers and then get sucked into time travel, I was all here for it. …
I am so glad that I re-read this series otherwise I would have completely forgotten who some of the characters were that crop up in this volume. And I am so glad that I marathon-read them because it just made the journey SO MUCH BETTER! …
It had been so long since I had read volume 4, that I had to go back and re-read it, so that I could bing read volumes 5, 6, 7 and 8. AND BINGE READING THEM IS THE BEST THING TO DO IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! …
I’m finally reading a graphic novel that isn’t Saga! Saga has been my entire world for ages, and I was excited to move onto something different. Monstress seemed like the perfect thing to move onto. A badass female character who was an antihero, monsters, Gods and blood and gore everywhere… …
I’m am going to be very honest and very brief about my thoughts on this book: I don’t think that I am going to be reading any more of Virginia Woolf’s books. I’ve come to the conclusion that they aren’t for me… Which is a shame because I really do want to love her writing and enjoy her stories, but I just don’t. And I’m not going to force myself to read books that I know that I’m not going to enjoy, there is no point… …
So during October, I had this completely unoriginal thought to read creepy books and A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay had been on my TBR pile for a very long time. It took me absolutely ages to get through this book and if it wasn’t for the fact that I was on a very tight blog schedule, I think I would have DNF’d it. …
The Yellow Wallpaper was a short story that I had to read for not one, but TWO of my modules at university: for the Gothic, and for Gender, Sex and Culture. It is only a short story however, Perkins packs so much mystery and thrill into very few pages. …
Wow. How have I not read this book before today? Why did I just let this book sit on my bookshelf gathering dust, whilst I took a chance and read 3 stars (or less) books instead? Doing the Gothic module at university has given me the opportunity to read so many amazing books and Rebecca is definitely one of them. …
