However, when a fashion designer sees her sketches, caught by…

Juicy Drama Series

I love a good juicy drama, backstabbing, high fashion, television, that’s how I got into reading and now I feel compelled to share it with everyone on the internet. Even as it painfully dates me to an early 2000s girl (the best era, let’s be honest), and most of these are from the now unfortunately…

Top 5 Clique Books

I know these books get a bad rep for promoting bullying but I never seen it that way. I mean it’s just fiction, it’s not like people are saying Gossip Girl promotes teens to sleep their way out of everything. If anything both series shows how bad it is to live your life that way.…

Femme Magnifique A Kickstarter funded graphic anathology of women, living and dead from all walks of life including Kate Bush, Octavia Butler, Rumiko Takahashi and more.

Superman Smashes the Klan Review

This was an excellent graphic novel based upon a little known radio play (at least to me) where Superman fights the KKK. Set just after WWII, Superman is fighting off the few Nazis who haven’t realized they’ve lost the war, and in doing so, comes into contact with kryptonite for the first time, making him…

Kyoshi Duology Review

For anyone who was a fan of the Avatar the Last Airbender series, you should definitely give this a read. It shares the series’ pathos, morals and humor, it fits right in with the bigger universe.
