Neptune Noir
Neptune Noir: Unauthorized Investigations into Veronica Mars | Rob Thomas
3 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
More than just a high school drama, “Veronica Mars” is a smart and savvy teen detective show that offers complex mysteries and rapier wit, engaging social commentary, and noir sensibilities—with the occasional murder thrown in for good measure. This collection, edited by the creator and executive producer of the show, offers supreme insight into the class struggles and love stories of the series. Essays by top writers intelligently address a multitude of questions such as: Is Veronica a modern-day vigilante? Why is a show that features rape, potential incest and a teen girl outsmarting local authorities so popular with America’s conservative population? and Why is Veronica and Logan’s relationship the most important story-driving factor in the show?

#junebookbugs day 28: #aplanetinthetitle
Found some books on my #tbr list with planets in their titles! I've got Mercury waiting to be picked up at the library and I've attempted The Transit of Venus once (ie borrowed it but somehow never read it!). But I do love Veronica Mars and Oliver Sacks so I may get to those sooner than the others. Have you read any? Would you recommend any?

Moray_Reads I've read Sleeping on Jupiter. To be honest, I can't remember that much about it but I do remember I thought it was very good! 7y
Literary_Siren Love the covers! 7y
xicanti I've read NEPTUNE NOIR, and like most media criticism collections it's a mix of compelling scholarship and "yeah, whatever." 7y

this is the shadowiest book that I can find at the moment. it's been a TBR forever but I'm a big Veronica Mars fan and hope to read it someday 😬#shadows #feistyfeb @RealLifeReading
