Seems like a romance but delves into issues of domestic abuse and difficult relationships.

I learned a lot

Surprised at how much this story moved me. Still reeling from the ending. (And FYI, it’s racier than the Netflix version!)

Great mystery set in England by the Sea. The forensic archaeologist , Ruth Galloway investigates bones that surfaced on a remote Norfolk Beach after WW 2. A nasty secret evolves that took place during the War which leads to the death of two more people. Ruth and DCI Harry Nelson investigate and help solve the case.

succinct, but dry, report of films based on books, and why you should make time for the books, focuses on quantity rather than quality; barely dipping into each entry before quickly moving on. serviceable...

I liked this story because it had to do with summer camp.

It was pretty strange listening to this YA title from the DC Icons series the same week as I was watching season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale! This is a narrative adaptation of Black Canary's origin story. Dinah Lance is the daughter of the original Black Canary, living in a Gotham City controlled by the Court of Owls. Females are banned from holding certain jobs and wearing unauthorized clothing. Their singing voices have been chemically silenced. Do you ever have strange, unplanned convergences like this? I will suggest this to teen readers who enjoy reading or viewing the Netflix movie of Moxie.

(2012 623pg edition) A prime example of the turning point into modern comics, "Knightfall" ages slightly better than its contemporary "Death of Superman". Although there is larger over-arching story-line, the desperate individual titles (Batman, Detective Comics, Shadow of the Bat) retain their own creative teams. As such the art lacks consistency through-out to the point where character models are vastly different from chapter to chapter. It is easy to see why such broad comic book events have garnered criticism of pretension, there are enough context-clues to make this a jumping on point, even if the "Batman: Prelude to Knightfall" collection (ironically published 6 years later in 2018) is highly recommended for prior reading.

I really liked this book because it was about Pompeii and I had fun learning about the volcano.

It was awesome
