If you read my life update post you know things have been pretty bananas for me up until recently. My reading has been all over the place amidst the chaos though I did manage to get some done. The last time I updated what I had read was February so there are quite a few.
What I’ve Read:
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Excellent collection of short pieces that form an overall story. You can definitely feel the criticisms of colonialism present in this work and I feel like it was very well done. I felt like the later stories were tugging more and more on my heartstrings and that ending was just…I don’t have words.
The Hecatomb by J. Edward Neill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This one was a collection of short stories all set in the same world.
Old Man of Tesser 5/5
Let the Bodies 5/5
Skeleton Sculptor 5/5
The Circle Macabre 3/5
Children of the Sea, Volume 1 by Daisuke Igarashi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Art is gorgeous. The story has caught my interest, I’m not sure what is going on but I’m interested to find out.
ODY-C, Vol. 1: Off to Far Ithicaa by Matt Fraction
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
It was honestly just meh for me. I thought the art was lovely but the story itself was hard to follow.
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well written and accessible, I found it to be a very enjoyable read.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Very different than the movie and I feel like one of the rare times where the movie was better than the book. That said I did like the book, it wasn’t amazing but I still enjoyed my read of it. Don’t go in expecting the shark to be as big of a part as it is in the movie. It’s more of a background force of nature bringing to light the very human problems amity is facing.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
it was AMAZING! Definitely all the trigger warnings for this one but if you can handle very dark subject matter this one has a complex plot that comes together so well in addition to all the hotness.
With Visions of Red by Trisha Wolfe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A thrilling and sexy mix of genres. Take crime drama, dark erotica, and murder mystery mix it together and this is what you get. I will absolutely be continuing the series! Fair warning this one ends on a mega cliffhanger.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A really twisted tale. I’ve read a lot of fucked-up things but this definitely wins the “Most Fucked Up Thing I’ve Ever Read” award. Guy takes you along on a journey of madness, his madness, though remember he’s not crazy (or so he says) the descriptions of his delusions and his justification for everything is masterfully done.
