Firmin is a lovely little book I first heard of from Michael Kindness. They’re sure called booksellers for something! I have read two books and bought one book since I started listening to their podcasts not so long ago. I read Firmin soon after reading I Am a Cat, which is kinda cute because they’re […]

End of Dream King, Start of Pratchett
Before year 2009 I had never read any Neil Gaiman’s. With the encouragement of The Dream King Challenge I managed to read three books and watched one movie based on his book: The Sandman Volume 1: Preludes & Nocturnes The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman The Sandman Vol 2: The Doll’s House by Neil Gaiman Movie: Coraline […]
Bayou by Jeremy Love (Vol 1)
Bayou is an online comic by Jeremy Love, which first appeared at Zuda Comics, and later out in print as the first printed book format work to be released by the online website. The story is a mixed of fantasy and reality, reality which is based on the oppressed era for Black people (1930s America). […]
The story of this funny named book revolves around Guernsey the island that was occupied during WWII by the Germans, its residents, and Juliet, our heroine, a column writer turned book writer from London. By turn of fate, Juliet was first contacted by Dawsey, a resident of Guernsey, about a book that was found. Their […]
Happy Holidays All!
Courtesy of Telltale Games. Or Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! We had our Christmas dinner yesterday, just the two of us. It was 30°C and the sun still bright at 8pm, but we do what we can with the glorious Australian summer!
Dewey’s Books Challenge Wrap-Up
It’s near the end of year and I have a bunch of challenges need wrapping up. I’ll start with Dewey’s Books Reading Challenge since it’s probably the first that I completed a long time ago, and Chris has called for a wrap-up post on the challenge blog. It wasn’t a big challenge for me because […]
Corduroy Mansions is officially my first audiobook, and podcast! What a whole new world I had discovered when I discovered both! Can’t believe what I’d been missing all this time! To trace back a little, I am never a good listener. As in I often miss what people say in general, even in my first […]
I Am Cat is narrated by…, you guess it, a cat. I never have a cat (I’m a dog person), so I don’t know the daily real behaviours of a cat. But I did find this cat interesting. I liked reading his daily life and observations of humans around him. The cat remains nameless, since […]
Book Links, Just for Fun
These are my last four reads. Can you find links between one and the next? (What do Dracula and The Woman in White have something in common? Then The Woman in White and I Am a Cat, and I Am a Cat with Firmin.) No googling! 🙂 Dracula — Bram Stoker The Woman in White […]
The holiday time is coming closer and I find myself just want to indulge in light reading. I came back from the library last week with heaps of graphic novels. I heard a couple of times before how people who never read comics can get confused about where to look on the pages, since there […]
