The Unwritten Vol 1 by Mike Carey and Peter Gross
After reading two great reviews of The Unwritten (first by my boss on Slog, and then by Nymeth–both of whose judgement I completely trust regarding graphic novels), I knew that I wanted to read this.
If the Church Were Christian by Philip Gulley
I knew I was going to be worth while when I read the Marcus J Borg blurb on the back, “Filled with memorable, insightful, and revealing stories. I recommend it.” Borg is a Christian scholar who has published many books about the life of Jesus.
The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman
I didn’t know much about Neil Gaiman’s much acclaimed Sandman series before taking this out of the library, except that it is much acclaimed and other comic book characters make appearances, but since I know very little about comics, that wasn’t much help. Did that stop me from loving it? Hells to the Nos.
FreeVerse: in the year i loved your mother
Cara has taken a hiatus from blogging, but we seem to have convinced her to write up a bunch of FreeVerse posts and schedule them in advance. So yay for FreeVerse and boo on busy lives that keep people from blogging.
The (Next) Four Month Challenge
Virginie, who is now calling herself by her for real name, Martina, but anyways is from She Read a Book, is hosting the next installment of her Four Month Challenge.
The winner of FreeVerse: Ash Wednesday
Since today is Ash Wednesday, I thought I’d go with a little Thomas Merton for FreeVerse.
Talking About Zombies & Angels on Slog
Recently I reviewed Zombocalypse Now by Matt Youngmark on Slog, The Stranger’s blog. My conclusion was:
American Rust Give Away!
Sometimes life is one big eerie coincidence. My friend’s husband is from Baltimore, and his last name is Meyer, and maybe it’s the bald head, but I swear, he looks just like Philipp Meyer, who is also from Baltimore.
American Rust by Philipp Meyer
This is one of those novels that comes along in life and just makes you gush. I told my boss about it. I told my mom about it. I finished the book and turned to my husband and said, you need to read this.
