Amazon Wish-List

Hi guys,

This is just a short post to let you know that you can support DORA, if you want to, by buying me a book via Amazon wish-list.

Absolutely no pressure! This is just an if-you-want-to thing.

Nerd Church - What Should I Talk About?

I didn't know what to write about this week. I mean, there's so much going on, and it's so difficult to find the words to talk about any of it.

Friday Fics Fix - Comfort Blanket Time

What to do when the world is going to hell in a handbasket and I have a cold? Read fanfiction of course!

Fanfiction will save us. Somehow it must.

(You doubt me, but we didn't think Trump would be president and Teen Vogue (US) would be leading the resistance a year ago - yet here we are, fy nghariadiau, here we are! *cue slightly hysterical laughter*)

(I may be slightly feverish - so this is gonna be fun!)

Comics Wrap-Up - If I Could Save Time In A Bottle

OK, due to a) a sh**ty cold that makes it hard for me to concentrate, and b) Loki (alwaaays blame Loki guys, 9/10 times, it was him,) everything I have for you today falls under the heading of 'Other Stuff.'

So, on to the Other Stuff!

Review Time! - The Voices of Martyrs by Maurice Broaddus

Title: The Voices of Martyrs

Author: Maurice Broaddus

Genre: anthology, short stories

Amazon: UK - USA

A few starting notes:

I received a free digital review copy of this book via NetGalley. NetGalley provides review copies from publishers in exchange for fair and honest reviews.

Honestly, I like me some short stories - and I never fail to be impressed by Rosarium Publishing - so I figured, why not? And decided to give this a shot.

Premise:

A collection of voices - an unforgotten collected memory that encompasses the past, present, and future.

These short stories are tales of strength, pain, sacrifice, and life. These are the voices of martyrs.

Nerd Church - Planet Earth is Blue...

We're f**king up the world my dear nerdlets. Sorry to be all doom and gloom, but it's the truth.

The fact is, our impact on the environment is not OK. And we need to show the powers-that-be (whoever they may be) that we want action on climate change.

Climate Change, unlike what a certain orange politician will tell you, is very real.

And we millennials? We're gonna be the ones who face the consequences.

We need to show that it's NOT GOOD ENOUGH. And that we believe in evidence, science, and actually taking some f**king responsibility every now and then.

Friday Fics Fix - Mr Pool

This week, I dived into the mire that is Deadpool-related fanfiction.

Most of that stuff I obviously can't recommend to you because... much as I love the Deadpool fandom... we do tend towards the bizarre. And/or disturbing.
