ANATOMY: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz

 

Edinburgh, 1817.
Hazel Sinnett is a lady who wants to be a surgeon more than she wants to marry.
Jack Currer is a resurrection man who's just trying to survive in a city where it's too easy to die.
When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist's Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. Beecham's lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first th...

SAGA, Issue #56 & 57 by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples

 

Saga #56 by Brian K. Vaughan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although we 're introduced to a bunch of new characters and return to others, this kinda felt like a filler issue. I also did NOT like that shitty ending.

That pirate spaceship is super fucking cool, though. And the art in this series is still amazing, unique and so damn creative.
  


Saga #57 by Brian K. Vaughan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ah! That's more like it!

This issue takes us back and reveals a very important thing that Alana did, which will dir...

SAGA, Issue #55 by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples

 

Saga #55 by Brian K. Vaughan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saga is one of my favourite comic book series, and after the heartbreaking Issue 54, I was devastated. 😭

And now: it's back!

Three years have passed and things are still pretty shitty in this world. But Hazel is a bit older, and a lot snarkier. She's also quite brazen, rebellious and cheeky. Yeah, she's definitely inherited a thing or two from her parents.

After the awful tragedy they suffered, Alana is trying to keep their small family going, an...

GWENDY'S MAGIC FEATHER by Richard Chizmar

 

Gwendy's Magic Feather by Richard Chizmar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just realised that I read the first Gwendy book in 2017. Yikes! 😳 I can't believe it's been that long, but between the many books I have all over the place and my own writing, I always manage to forget I have heaps that I really want to read. 😣

Gwendy is all grown up and is a Congresswoman in DC. She's trying to change the world, and the last thing she expects is to come across the button box again. Especially since she's heading...

YOU LOVE ME by Caroline Kepnes

 

You Love Me by Caroline Kepnes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start by saying that Joe Goldberg is a delusional piece of crap, who casually blames the women he gets with (and anyone who orbits them) for his shitty luck. Like, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he's a fucking psycho who's attracted to unavailable women. 😐

The problem is, that I can't stop reading his books. Even though I hate him from start to finish. Even though I'm totally judging him all the way through. And, even ...

THE GHOST THAT ATE US by Daniel Kraus

You remember the brutal crime, don’t you? Maybe you read about it on Twitter.
Maybe a friend sent you a news clip. Maybe you saw it on an episode of Spectral Journeys that night you were flipping through channels, unable to sleep. 
Maybe after reading the true story, you won’t ever sleep again.
On June 1, 2017, six people were killed at a Burger City franchise off I-80 near Jonny, Iowa. It was the bizarre and gruesome conclusion to nine months of alleged paranormal activity at the fast-food joint—...

March Revision Update!

 

Hey! How are you today? I hope you're all doing well.
I've been busy finalising my latest Revision Project, while trying to ignore the shitty weather, the Covid numbers, and that daylight savings ends this weekend.

Anyway, here's how this week turned out:Monday: 49/84pgs (28,224w)Tuesday: 84/84pgs (28,177w)Wednesday: 84pgs / 28,131wMadness is finally done. Yay! 😊🎉
I'm really excited about finishing this story because during the second draft, I seriously considered putting it aside. Several times. ...

The Revision Continues...

Hi! How's this week treating everyone? Staying busy? Taking a break? Doing a bit of both?
We started the week with flu shots. Yep, it's that time of the year again. And since people are out and about now, pretending Covid case numbers aren't going up every single day, it looks like we're also heading into a nasty flu season. Best to be protected, I reckon.
Though, I have to admit that between the first, second and booster doses, I'm starting to feel like a bit of a human pin cushion. 😅
Anyway, I go...

A New Revision Project Begins...

 

Hey! How are you? Staying busy? I've been feeling a little wonky this week, which is something that happens to me every time the season changes. I can't handle the hot and cold at different times of the day. Although we didn't have the best summer, I'm not looking forward to winter. It's my least favourite season. Ugh.
Anyway, after a three-week (sorta) break, it was time to get stuck into my next Revision Project. This time it's a dark fairy tale about loneliness, being misunderstood and madnes...
