Month in Review(s) - January 2018
January felt like a month which put a rocket to my secret* blogging powers.
I don't know why, but I actually really liked the posts I wrote this month! And I'm (finally) beginning to get a handle on the whole 'juggling work, life, blogging, and miscellaneous other stuff' thing.
That said, I've probably just jinxed myself for the year ahead. My life tends to resemble an episode of Milo Murphy's Law sometimes 😅

Comics Wrap-Up - Vying For Attention From a Girl

2017's Top 4 Books (...In The Opinion of Yours Truly)
2017 can't be well and truly dusted off and put back on the shelf* without some input from your favourite Bookish Rebel (moi, ofc,) on the bestest books of the year.
*Ha, shelf? Books? Hehe! XD
This is TOTALLY MY OPINION ONLY.
Obviously, I can only pick from books I've read. And within that only books published in 2017.
Even given those rules, there's a bunch of books that I've read that I didn't include - THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T LIKE THEM!!!!
This is basically a snapshot of the stand-outs. There were loooooads of other books I could've included - promise!
(My Anxiety kicks in when I think I might be leaving someone/something out that deserves recognition - does it show?!)

Comics Wrap-Up - Short 'n' Sweet
OK, so, I haven't had much time for the comics-y-ness this week, because I'm suuuuper busy (that's a type of super, after all! Lol,) so I just have a few fun things in the 'Other Stuff' category.
(And, as always, I blame Loki for there only being 'other stuff.')

Here's another Thor: Ragnarok trailer for you my dearest nerdlets!
Because it's already out here in the UK, I can tell you that it's an awesome-sauce film!!!

Month in Review(s) - July 2017
July was a big month for this little book nerd's blog!
This was the month that Diary of a Reading Addict (DORA) became Dora Reads - with a custom URL to match.
It's something that'd been on my mind for a while, and I'm so glad I did it!

Lots of stuff for you this week! The big companies always release lots of goodies @ San Diego Comic Con (SDCC,) so we've got some fab new trailers: a selection of which I've given you here.
There's also some other stuff that I've come across in my comics-y web-wanderings, as per usual :)

Month in Review(s) - June 2017
June was too damned hot here in the UK.
It regularly reached over 28C, & often over 30C. I officially melt at around 23.5C, so I was NOT happy.

Review! (Graphic Novel Edition!) - Doom Patrol, Vol 1: Brick by Brick
Thursday 8 June 2017
Comics Wrap-Up - Where Were You When All of the Embers Fell?
Graphic Novels
This week, I read Doom Patrol, Volume 1: Brick by Brick, one of the DC Young Animal/Gerard Way titles.
And yes, I bl**dy loved it!
It's already out in the US and will be out in the UK on the 13th - so my review will be appearing sometime on or around the UK release date (I haven't decided precisely when yet.)
If you're a fan of surreal-ness and/or any of Gerard Way's other comics, you're gonna love it.
