Mini Reviews

I'm really liking this strange little series. I like that it's set up into inter-connecting stories. So you're getting a look at this town through all the strange things happening, and characters make an appearance in the background of other stories. I also kind of like that the timeline isn't linear. I do want to know what's going on with these brothers, and I keep thinking the world might be ending. Or maybe they went back in time. Honestly, though, I could do with all the spiders that keep popping up. The body horror I can deal with, the spiders that keep getting bigger and bigger. Just, no thank you. And something tells me they're going to play a bigger part the farther into this series I get. 

This is an interesting little book I snagged on the resale shelf at my local bookstore. The cover and title caught my attention, and I'm a sucker for a fun little coffee table book. I will say that the introduction of this book put me to sleep, and was almost the reason I didn't get the actual entries. So I skipped it to jump right into the entries, which were short and sweet. Each entry has the name of the person, when they died, and why it was exemplary. I like that each entry was short, just the facts. I'm a sucker for doing my own research. The upside to this book there is a bit at the end of the book with more information on any entry you want more information on. I also really liked that I only knew a handful of names in this book. So it was filled with new names and bits of history for me. It was a quick read, but interesting. Totally working on checking out!

What a fun and weird little book. I picked this up because the author was involved in one of my favorite cartoons back in the day, Tutenstein. So I was excited to see he also had a graphic novel. This was so much fun! It was also very weird and creepy. I enjoyed and it was a gem of a library find!

I'm re-reading this series because I'm ready to jump into Drumindor. It's been three years since I jumped into this series, so I've been borrowing the audiobooks to catch up. Crown Tower is my favorite book in the series, but I do love that we get to see a bit of Duster in the Rose and the Thorn. Though I forgot just how much happened in the second book. This is my favorite fantasy series, so it's been fun to go back again.

HAPPY READING!!
