Listen, back in October I loaded up my Kindle full of quick, spooky reads, and they've been sitting on the TBR shelf collecting dust. So the other day while I was getting a tattoo, I thought what a perfect time for a quick read. This was the perfect distraction because in under thirty pages, Goodwin wrote something ridiculous and spooky that left my mouth open and distracted me from what was happening to me for a few minutes. This book was full of nostalgia for me, as a child of the 90s, but I can say I've never been out on my bike and found a VHS tape. Though there is a good chance I would bring it home and watch it too. I've always been nosey. The concept of this was also super creepy, and that ending was absolutely amazing! I definitely will be picking up more books by Michael R. Goodwin!
This was a fun way to re-read one of my favorite classics! It's been a long time since I last picked up The Count of Monte Cristo, and with the 'Read in High School' square on our BINGO board, it seemed a perfect time to pick it up again. Even more so when I stumbled on the Manga Classic version of this story at my local library. It's been so long since I read this book that I forgot how many players are in this game and how many moving pieces there were in this story. I felt like they did a good job of capturing this story and its characters, and while some of my favorite moments for the novels weren't in this version, I still enjoyed it as much as the original. Also, some of those moments weren't filler and honestly not really missed other than just being some of my favorite moments with Edmond. However, now I have an urge to find the audiobook version of this book before year-end, maybe a full cast and a really deep dive into the story.
This is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. So when I saw it was getting a comic book it was a no-brainer to add it to my collection. This was just as fun as the movie, the best part of the movie was in it. The jokes still make me giggle, Madame Mim is still one of my top favorite villains, and Archimedes is still a whole mood. This was a fun, quick read on a rainy day.
I've always loved the classic Disney villains, even as a kid, and Maleficent was always one of my top favorites. It was a hundred percent because she had a pet crow, and she could turn into a dragon. So when I saw she was getting a graphic novel series, I cannot explain how fast I ran to my local library and placed this on hold. I liked that this wasn't another prequel but a moment in what I can only assume was a long life. I'd love to get more of these to see because this plot wasn't exactly wrapped up, I was satisfied with this ending, but I'd love to see what other chaos Maleficent got into before her role in Sleeping Beaty, maybe this even ties into. Either way, I'd read a series of these.
HAPPY READING!!
