4 Fangirling-Worthy Webcomics With Central F/F Romance (That Are Also Available In Print!)
Ladies who love ladies are amazing.
So, as it's Pride Month, and I'm a Queer lady who loves the nerdy things in life, I think it's time we celebrate some central F/F relationships, don't you?
This short list of comics features romantic relationships ranging from the sexy to the innocent, and ladies who have their own unique personalities and situations.
Available to read online (for free!) or in printed form, let these ladies bring a little love to your lives!

Ooooo-kay! Let's take a look at the comics-y stuff I have for you this week! (Buckle up, my nerdlets!)

Comics Wrap-Up - One More Off-Key Anthem
I don't know whether you've noticed lately, but these comics wrap-ups are less thorough than they used to be - but don't panic! That's on purpose.
It was getting to the point where I was trawling things formulaically and obsessing over not missing anything.
So I figured I'd take it back to basics - sharing comics-related stuff I found awesome or funny or whatever over the course of the week! 😎

I Liked Avengers: Infinity War, But I Didn't LOVE It. Here's Why. (SPOILER FILLED)
Leaving the cinema after watching Avengers: Infinity War, The Bestie turned to me and said:
'Do you get why I said that once you've seen it, you really wanna watch it again, like, straight away?!'
And me, a diehard Marvel fan, who loves the Marvel films 'til the end of the line, said:
'No... not really. It was ok, though.'

Friday Fics Fix - A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far, Away...
I, personally, love the current Star Wars set-up.
There's angst, lightsabers, spaceships and sh**, and a dude with his shirt off - honestly, I don't expect anything beyond that.
(Sorry die-hard Star Wars fans, but let's face it, the stories and dialogue were never what your nostalgia-happy brains purport them to be... Please don't hurt me.)

Friday Fics Fix - Combined Forces
Here we are then, in 2018! And it's time for the first Friday Fics Fix of the year!
In case you don't know (because the internet has a short memory, and also you might be new to Dora Reads - in which case, welcome! Please stay! Lol,) Friday Fics Fix is a weekly post where I recommend (or 'rec') a piece of fanfiction.
Basically, I started this post series because fanfiction totally counts as reading! And it should be completely counted as such! #EffTheSnobs
So with that established, let's take a look at this week's rec!
OK, I have some Star Wars for you this week - which I haven't done before, because while I like Star Wars, it's not like my be-all-and-end-all. And I know people take Star Wars pretty seriously!

Comics Wrap-Up - Miss Atomic Bomb
Film Trailers and Films
I'm actually gonna give you some slightly older trailers for two based-on-comics films I've seen over the past two weeks*
*Yes, two films in two weeks. I bought a year cinema pass, so I literally go there every week; after the first 20 films, it's paid for itself.
And I've seen like 24 or 25 now. If you're a movie fan, maybe look at similar deals where you are? #BudgetTipsWithCee - lol! ;)

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!
