SHE-HULK #12 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido & Mutsa Vicente

She-Hulk #12 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars Well, here it is. The last instalment in this very cool, exciting, action-packed, fun series. I love how this ends. So much chaos came with the revelation, but I knew Shulkie & Co. would be able to deal with the evil gu…

SHE-HULK #11 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido & Mutsa Vicente

She-Hulk #11 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars Whoa! Seriously. That got off to a flying start. Seriously. So, Titania was waiting for She-Hulk in her office. Holding the Blue File! And she starts a wicked fight that takes them out of the building and int…

SHE-HULK #10 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido & Mutsa Vicente

She-Hulk #10 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars Ah, this issue is the conclusion to the Captain America Courtroom Saga. And I really, really enjoyed it! That Steve Rogers sure is a clever chap, no matter how old he is. BTW, I found out that he (somehow) lost his super soldie…

SHE-HULK #9 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido & Mutsa Vicente

She Hulk #9 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars You know, I usually find courtroom dramas to be a little boring, but this one kept me very interested. I mean, come on, it's... Jennifer Walters versus Matt Murdock in a civil case against Steve Rogers . I'm real…

SHE-HULK #8 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido & Mutsa Vicente

She-Hulk (2014) #8 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was another awesome issue, and the artwork is back to being lovely. :) So, Jennifer has a new client: Captain America. And for some reason--I still don't know why--he now looks as old as he is, which makes h…

BREAKABLE by Tammara Webber

Breakable by Tammara Webber My rating: 3 of 5 stars I read EASY last year and absolutely loved it. So of course I was interested in reading a book written in Lucas/Landon's POV. He was a great character, and the chemistry between him and Jacqueline is scorching. Having s…

SHE-HULK #7 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido & Mutsa Vicente

She-Hulk #7 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars Hallelujah! That other artist is gone and Pulido's back. Phew. The artwork is back to being lovely, shiny, and the page spreads are beautiful. And She-Hulk is once again looking like the Green Goddess she is. :) So, …

SHE-HULK #6 by Charles Soule & Ron Wimberly

She Hulk #6 by Charles Soule My rating: 3 of 5 stars OMG. WTF is up with the artwork in this issue? It's EVEN WORSE than the one before it. Like, REALLY UGLY. This Wimberly's style is awful. It was so distracting, and... awful. This time I have to deduct from the rating b…

SHE-HULK #5 by Charles Soule, Ron Wimberly & Rico Renzi

She-Hulk #5 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars Firstly, I just gotta say: Wow. That cliffhanger! Aaaahhhhhh. I really LOVE the cover for this issue, but the artwork inside wasn't as good as the issues before it. I guess they changed artists, and I don't really like…

SHE-HULK #4 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido & Mutsa Vicente

She-Hulk #4 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed the way this issue starts because it becomes very obvious that whatever sweet-talking power Angie has, it doesn't affect Jennifer. Angie is trying really hard to convince her not to worry about Kristoff Ve…

THE DAY I SWAPPED MY DAD FOR TWO GOLDFISH by Neil Gaiman & Dave McKean

The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish by Neil Gaiman My rating: 5 of 5 stars My daughter's had this book for several years and really liked it, but I hadn't read it yet, so I borrowed it from her last night and got stuck into it... What's a boy to do when he wa…

SHE-HULK #3 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido & Mutsa Vicente

She-Hulk #3 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars Ooooh. I love that cover! Kristoff Vernard, who happens to be Victor Von Doom's son, wants Jennifer to help him get asylum in the USA. He doesn't want to eventually inherit the leadership of Latveria, and although he…

Reading Week

I was going to pop in yesterday but Monday didn't turn out like I expected. My daughter woke up feeling sick, so she stayed home from school. Good thing I didn't have any real plans--asides from blogging and reading--otherwise they would have been turned upside down.   In …

SHE-HULK #2 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido, Mutsa Vicente

She-Hulk #2 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars After getting a surprise payment at the end of last issue, Jennifer has opened her own practice. But she doesn't have any clients. She also doesn't have any staff. Of course that changes when she hires a woman called Angie…

SHE-HULK #1 by Charles Soule, Javier Pulido & Mutsa Vicente

She-Hulk #1 by Charles Soule My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really like She-Hulk. I find her fascinating, so I was very excited about reading this comic book series. And the first issue didn't disappoint, that's for sure. Jennifer Walters, also known as She-Hulk, is abou…

WE WERE LIARS by E. Lockhart

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have to start this review with a huge Wow . This book is amazing. And so addictive. I couldn't put it down. My daughter actually read this before I did and kept telling me how good it was. Well, she wasn't wrong. …

THE RETRIBUTION OF MARA DYER by Michelle Hodkin

The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin My rating: 3 of 5 stars Okay, let me start with this: I LOVED the first two books in this trilogy. So I was looking forward to reading the last book. Things start out pretty crazy, like they usually do. Mara is in a hospital envir…

It's Revision Time!

After completing the DASH editing process , I took the rest of last week off. After all, finishing DASH was my January goal. Yay. :) I didn't end up doing much but sorting through my stationery. I needed the change of pace. But on Monday I decided that it was time to get back to m…

SAGA, Volume 1 by Brian K Vaughan & Fiona Staples

Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan My rating: 5 of 5 stars Hubby borrowed this comic book from the library, and it grabbed my attention. I mean, come on, the cover features a horned guy, and a winged woman breastfeeding her baby! That's pretty brazen. And cool. Anyway, I pick…

VANISHING GIRLS by Lauren Oliver

Dara and Nicola used to be inseparable, but that was before - before Dara kissed Parker, before Nicola lost him as her best friend, before the accident that left Dara's beautiful face scarred. Now the two sisters, who used to be so close, aren't speaking. In an instant, Nick lo…

It's Friday the 13th + TGIF!

That's right. TGIF. But it's also that creepy time of the year when Jason Voorhees is stalking the shadows with his trusty machete, waiting for someone to get up to some hanky-panky.  As long as you behave, you'll be fine! ;) Oh, and FYI... there will be TW…

THE SERPENT PAPERS by Jessica Cornwell (DNF)

The Serpent Papers by Jessica Cornwell Okay, I'm officially calling this my second DNF of 2015. Because I only reached page 156, and won't be skimming ahead, I'm not going to rate it. I received this book for review. It sounded intriguing. It was intriguing at first. T…

HORROR BLOCK

Last month I spoke about LOOT CRATE , and posted a bunch of pics to show you what the January box contained . I also mentioned that we'd subscribed to another cool subscription service called HORROR BLOCK .   Well, the mystery box finally arrived yesterday:     Love that…

DASH is done!

That's right.   I spent the last two days reading the PDF proof and emailed the small list of corrections to my editor yesterday. Yay.   Then this morning, I got a surprise in my Inbox: the final copies! OMG. I'm SO excited. I'm really looking forward to this book&…

A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES by Sarah J. Maas

Feyre's survival rests upon her ability to hunt and kill – the forest where she lives is a cold, bleak place in the long winter months. So when she spots a deer in the forest being pursued by a wolf, she cannot resist fighting it for the flesh. But to do so, she must kill the preda…

Weird Week

I took this photo of Loki a few days ago. Isn't he gorgeous? :)   It was early in the morning and shortly after sunrise. He always tries to avoid the camera (I mean, phone) but I managed to snap this one a few seconds before he looked away. It's a very pretty pic of my …

THE MARTIAN by Andy Weir (DNF)

The Martian by Andy Weir My rating: 2 of 5 stars Okay. It's time to let this book go. I've been stalling for weeks, determined to put it aside for a while before returning to finish. But I just can't do it... I don't know what happened to me while I w…

RED QUEEN by Victoria Aveyard

This is a world divided by blood - red or silver. The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change. That is, until she fi…

100 GHOSTS by Doogie Horner

100 Ghosts: A Gallery of Harmless Haunts by Doogie Horner My rating: 5 of 5 stars My daughter and hubby surprised me with this book last year. My daughter found out about it and because she knows I love ghosts/ghost stories, and happened to be writing my own ghost hunter ser…
