You Are What You Read
Rating: 2 stars I was intrigued by this failed first attempt at a comic adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s City of Bones, but it wasn’t available anywhere online, seemingly having been purged from the internet.

Rating: 4 stars Buddy read this with some Goodreads friends and I definitely had the highest opinion of it by the end, which is kind of a first lol This doesn’t deserve 4 stars, I’ll say that right now. But rating this 3 stars feels almost rude to the book, especially considering how much I …

Rating: 3 stars Being alone is a terrible, terrible thing. There’s no one to run to, no one to confide in, no one who cares what happens to you. It wasn’t that this finale sucked. I generally enjoyed it. I had a decently good time, a few chuckles here and there, and I was, at …
