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>
Rated Coping Skills: Tools & Techniques for Every Stressful Situation 6/10
While I appreciate a therapy-esque guide that is not afraid to swear, the editor side of me wants to say, "But surely repetitive words are still repetitive though?" Maybe in this book's original zine format, the superfluous use would have been just fine, but in this reading, I found myself thinking, "Yes, yes, you're not like OTHER therapists. You're the cool therapist. We get it." I know that makes me sound like a prude, sorry. However, this is still a bit like a very informative long tumblr post come to print. Which is great, if that's what you're looking for! There are still plenty of useful tips on how to get through anxiety/stress/etc-making situations, and some skills that I was previously unfamiliar with as a choice. So, it's certainly not a bad book, and it's a trim and easy read that most everyone could get something from. Your mileage may vary.
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>
Wants to read Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
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.
