• Nancy Drew ReRead P2

  I know I started the year with a Nancy Drew reread, and finally twelve months later I get to the rest. I’ve been busy. Nonetheless, I almost got the whole collection minus 4 of them that had already been checked out from the library. Or stolen. It wasn’t quite clear. Anyway, onto the second reread…

• Fullmetal Alchemist Vol 1-8

  Alright, I started a new manga. One of the most popular ones apparently so this is a more spoilery what I thought about the first half of the series rather than a full-on review. But I guess it doesn’t matter since the spoilers won’t make sense to someone who hasn’t read them. Let’s get to…

• 80s Kids Fantasy

  For my 600th post (already!) I decided to take a trip down fantasy memory lane by reading those classic 80s favorites for the first time. They’re pretty famous so I’m not going to go into the summaries of each but discuss my thoughts on why they managed to stand the test of time. While I’ve…
