Rated Doctor Who: Short Trips Rarities: An Eighth Doctor Collection 8/10
<div>Solid little collection. The narration is good.</div>
book
Rated Bunny 8/10
<div>This book is as if THE LATE AMERICANS by Brandon Taylor were a horror novel filtered through Mean Girls and Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" video.<br><br>This is an endorsement.</div>
Rated Call Me By Your Name 10/10
This pressed on a few historic wounds, and I welcomed it.
Rated Building Stories 10/10
What a design achievement. This is a beautifully put together graphic novel; I was a bit nervous handling my library copy. I have a few story quibbles regarding methods of demonstrating low self-esteem, but let's round up on the rating. This is quite something.
Wants to read Changers, Book One: Drew by Allison Glock-Cooper
Rated Children of Blood and Bone 8/10
<div>I enjoyed this a lot, and I'm eager to see what the adaptation is going to be like, should it ever come out.</div>
Wants to read Click: One Novel, Ten Authors
Rated Crook Manifesto 8/10
<div>I liked this a lot, and I'm sure that if Colson Whitehead decides to write a third Ray Carney novel, I will read it.</div>
Rated Conviction 8/10
<div>I started to see the ending coming at a certain point, but this was still very good, and the short chapters made me want to read "just a bit more" every time. It's an interesting take on fame, true crime obsessions, and a little bit about money buying power and what that does to the people around them.</div>
Rated By Peel, John Doctor Who Daleks: The Mutation Of Time Audio CD - June 2010 8/10
A good conclusion to an erratic but fun storyline.
Rated Dark Gallifrey: Missy, Part 2 10/10
<div>Loved it.</div>
Rated Doctor Who Series III, Vol. 4: Dead Man's Hand 8/10
Quite good, though a bit crammed full of real life characters.
Rated Cutting edge, Vol. 1 6/10
<div>I enjoyed some of the art — though I have no idea why some of the women required corsets and thigh-highs at one point, sigh — and some of the page layouts did a great job at conveying a lot of story information at once. The story itself was an interesting premise, but overall, this was just an ok read.</div>
Rated Dark Gallifrey: Missy, Part 1 8/10
Rated Dark Sparkler: Provocative Poems on Hollywood's Tragic Starlets from Marilyn Monroe to Brittany Murphy 10/10
Why did I wait so long to read this? Did I need time to lift my head from my own muck first? whatever the reason, I'm glad I read this, finally. Dark, wonderful, obsessive poetry.
Rated Dark Shadows: Echoes Of The Past 10/10
I got this during some Big Finish sale or another, having never listened to a single Dark Shadows story, or really even being familiar with it other than it is one of the older TV properties for which BF had acquired the rights. Essentially, I went in knowing nothing. This was great. It made me want to hear other Dark Shadows stories. (That's how they get you!) A spooky, noir-ish old Hollywood tale.
Rated Doctor Who: Death's Deal 8/10
Pretty solid Tenth Doctor story, and Catherine Tate gets the Doctor's voice well.
Rated Devil Sent the Rain: Music and Writing in Desperate America 10/10
<i>Devil Sent the Rain</i> is an excellent book. One does not have to be a big fan of the blues or “rural” music to find value within its pages, for Piazza writes in an informative way that's moving and honest.<br><br>(My full review can be found on <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2012/06/devil-sent-rain-by-tom-piazza.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)
