So, as we all know, I love vampires in general, especially when they’re done well. I’ve mentioned American Vampire on here before, but I recently reread/caught up, and this just affirms that more people need to read this series. The concept of vampires through history isn’t a new one, but it’s really interesting how … More SJ Reads: American Vampire
Today’s SJ reads is another graphic novel/comic series, since that’s our theme this month. I’d heard the title The Unwritten kicked around for a while, but not really taken the chance to investigate it. Then, when I had worked my way through a two-month long manga binge and was craving something else, I checked out … More SJ Reads: The Unwritten
At this point I figure most of the people who are reading this are going to at least be aware of Sandman. If you aren’t, let me know, and I’ll cover it in a later post. I’ve found, though, that at least within my own friend/writing circle, not as many people are familiar with Lucifer. … More SJ Reads: Lucifer
So yeah, it’s been a bit and a half. I’ll get to that eventually, but really, I think at the end of the day it’s good to ask if we want to start with explanations or start the way we mean to go. Since my rambling good intentions usually end up taking time and fizzling … More SJ Reads: Finder
Time for another batch of the reviews other people want me to do for some reason! The story behind this is I had a geektastic talk with Sharon Stogner of I Smell Sheep Review Blog at Imaginarium, which led to me agreeing to do comic and movie reviews as I can. Really I just wanted … More Comic & Film Review Roundup 2
So along with people foolishly inviting my writer-type opinions on their sites, I’ve been invited to guest review for the awesome blog I Smell Sheep. And more than once, too! Seriously, this is something that’s been a ton of fun so far. While it’s still my policy to not officially review small press or indie … More Comic Review Roundup
So hey there… I know, it’s been a hot minute – I’m going to be working to scheduling more posts in advance this week, along with actually getting some sewing done for later in the month, so there’s something to look forward to. I’ve been busy – Imaginarium was a fun time (with many Clyde … More SJ Reads: The Weird Edition #amreading
Had to break this up into another post because I’ve come across so many awesome illustrated YA books lately, so let’s carry on, shall we? Peanut by Ayun Halliday and Paul Hoppe – Sadie moves and has to go to a new school, which means navigating social groups, watching her old friends move on, and … More Reading with SJ: YA Graphic Novels pt 2
Back again with some more titles I have thoughts on! This time, I’ll be looking at the YA illustrated/graphic novel/comic genre, which admittedly has a place in my heart. These are the books I love to check out a stack at a time and curl up with when I need some light reading or some … More Reading with SJ: YA comics & graphic novels
Time once again to see what I’ve had in my TBR stacks! Because I can plow through graphic novels at an alarming rate, we’ll take another look at that stack today. The Gigantic Beard that was Evil by Stephen Collins – I obviously picked this up because of the title because that is brilliant. Written about … More Reading with SJ: Graphic Novels part 3
