Beginning with a copy of Bulgakov's Master and Margarita that he happens to find one day in a bookstore, he embarks on a literary odyssey. ![]() This book is Andy's inspirational and very funny account of his expedition through literature: classic, cult, and everything in between. And so, with the turn of a page, Andy began a year of reading that was to transform his life completely. Books that whispered the promise of escape from the daily grind. Books he'd said he'd read that he actually hadn't. But, no matter how busy or tired he was, something kept niggling at him. A working father whose life no longer feels like his own discovers the transforming powers of great (and downright terrible) literature in this laugh-out-loud memoir.Īndy Miller had a job he quite liked, a family he loved, and no time at all for reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I even remember them creating an entire section for those books. It feels like going back in time to when I’d search Barnes & Noble for all the “chick-lit” books. Being someone who usually chooses books based on the cover, it’s a really smart move to make them so appealing. For some reason they all seem to be designed in similar ways with adorable covers. I’ve had a major thing for romance novels this past year. ![]() This sweet and steamy romance is a holiday happily ever after. Lovelight Farms is a romantic comedy featuring a handsome, freckled data analyst, a messy, optimistic Christmas tree farm owner, and a small town with the best hazelnut lattes on the east coast. He just came home for some hot chocolate, and somehow got a farm and a serious girlfriend in the process. Only…there is no boyfriend.Įnter best friend Luka Peters. To make the farm seem like a romantic destination for the holidays, she lied on the application and said she owns Lovelight Farms with her boyfriend. With the added publicity and the $100,000 cash prize, she might just be able to save the farm from its financial woes. ![]() In an effort to save the Christmas tree farm she’s loved since she was a kid, she enters a contest with instafamous influencer Evelyn St. Lovelight Farms is not the magical winter wonderland of Stella Bloom’s dreams. And shipments that have mysteriously gone missing. A hostile takeover of the Santa barn by a family of raccoons. SYNOPSIS: Where the lovelight gleams…A pasture of dead trees. ![]() ![]() The overall mythology/world building is pretty vague but already extremely fascinating. ![]() But that’s okay because it’s still SO GOOD! I’m actually still not 100% sure of what’s going on….at all. The only problem is that we don’t get much explanation for anything in this volume and I was left with a lot more questions than answers. With volume 1 here I was absolutely hooked from the get go! The premise is so unique and interesting, I mean everyone’s pop star idols are literal GODS reincarnated every 90 years and only live for 2 before they die. But remember: just because you’re immortal, doesn’t mean you’re going to live forever. ![]() The team behind critical tongue-attractors like Young Avengers and PHONOGRAM reunite to create a world where gods are the ultimate pop stars and pop stars are the ultimate gods. ![]() I’m going to be giving little mini reviews of each volume (1-4) here and each with their own rating etc.Įvery ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. I don’t think I can praise this graphic novel series enough, seriously! This is hands down the BEST ones I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading and I loved every part of it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Barton has a gift for frustrating and alienating the ladies in his life, but, despite his flaws and failings, they remain painfully loyal to him. This parallels his tangled relationships, as well as the tangled narrative strands in the book. In a book of consistent excellence, the only inconsistency comes in the art, with Francesco Francavilla illustrating one chapter, and the team of Steve Lieber and Jesse Hamm another. Charming as the stand-ins are, Aja remains the true master of storytelling.Ĭlint Barton’s life is summed up perfectly through the use of a visual metaphor early in a comically overdramatised scene where he and Tony Stark try to untangle the chaos of wires that link his entertainment centre together. Unfortunately, though, Aja isn’t able to draw everything. Credit is due to Matt Fraction for the inventiveness employed in telling deceptively simple tales in such original ways, and this praise must be shared equally with his co-creator, David Aja, who brings an eloquence and visual humour to his artistic duties. The visual inventiveness of the book is refreshing, using ideas as diverse as romance comic cover interludes (supplied by Annie Wu) and pictograms to propel the narrative along unexpected but successful paths. Little Hits proves as entertaining as its predecessor, My Life As A Weapon. ![]() ![]() ![]() After being all heroic and stuff in that tale, I didn’t expect to charge headlong into enemy territory: the Library of Alexandria, where I―and my grandpa and my grouchy bodyguard Bastille and her even grouchier mother and some weirdly gifted cousins―would face the Curators (ghosts who will gladly help you check out a book as long as you don’t mind giving up your mortal soul) and some new nasty Librarians who hate our guts.and would be happy to rip them out for us.īut none of that comes close to the horror we would have to face if we succeeded in finding what we were searching for… So now you’ve read all about me, Alcatraz Smedry, and how I was swept out of my life in your normal world and into the fight against the Librarians (jerks!). ![]() ![]() #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn series Brandon Sanderson continues the epic adventure he began in Alcatraz vs. ![]() |
