A beautifully illustrated exploration of a new marriage, trauma, desire, and life.

First read of the new year (that isn't a web comic) is a reread. I wish the whole series had been printed in English (RIP early Tokyopop.) I prefer the original order, but I do see how linear is easier for younger readers.

I may have binge watched the Blood Ties series (again) and been reminded that I never finished the book series it was based on. So into the shadows I go to read this 2006 reprinting of the 1991 and 1992 originals. Does it hold up to the test of time? We shall see!

When university assignments and pets collide, it isnt always a bad combination.

Another from my shelf of non-read books, this one caught my eye due to it's vibrant cover. I love the deep blues that accent the both the apocalyptic and water themes.

Diving into Una McCormack's THE UNDEFATED, a colonialesk space opera with the tone of a historical novel.

We all want to fit in, but some take it a little too far.

One positive thing about moving is discovering books you've had for years but never read. I so love this cover.

Cure for a wet evening: a re-read of the ever entertaining Howl's Moving Castle with a kitty companion. So very different than the anime but no less enjoyable.

First book of 2019 is an oldy but a goody. Thought I'd keep it light ;)
