I'm rereading the Tortall books for my blog! Check out my first post, for Alanna: The First Adventure: http://pagedeep.com/2017/09/01/revisiting-corus-alanna-the-first-adventure/

Onto the next book in the series! It's a blast rereading these--and you gotta love the cheesy pun on the back of the box set.

A Bride's Story is one of the most gorgeous and moving mangas I've ever read. If you want to learn about history, especially women's history, that you've never learned about before--and also cry over characters--then this is a must. #manga

Starting my big Tortall reread!

Finished it! Very very good. Definitely recommend it for fans of the first novella or of classic monsters. Kaylee is in the picture because she looks a little like Jill in her dress.

Jack and Jill went down the hill...

Included my fave quote from the book in my Overdrive screenshot. Very interesting book; I enjoyed the passion as well as the compassion in showing the rich lives of a tiny mountain town.

Glad to finally dive into this.

...all your future histories can be destroyed in a single moment.

She looks like hell in a party dress.

My latest ebook read is Instant! A good introduction to the history of Polaroid.

Had to read this for work. Pretty solid! Didn't predict the twist!

Finished it in 4 hours. Just lovely.

FOUR PAGES IN AND I AM 0 TO 60 ON THIS BOOK

So excellent! A fun exciting tale that leaps into your heart. EAT NUTS AND KICK BUTTS

I finished it and sighed so, so happily.

My current reading list, in order from top to bottom.

You know how you sometimes open a "nerdy" novel expecting a blatant cash grab with only vague inclinations at reflecting real fandom? THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING THOSE BOOKS WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THEY ARE. It's stellar so far.

The purple of the mountains flowed like watercolor.

This book was heartfelt and lovely and so, so relatable.

Captain Marvel and She-Hulk LOVE this book so far.

It came!!!!! I'm so excited you guys!!!!!!

A while back I e-mailed the branch manager of the first library I ever went to and asked if she had any pictures of the original building--a tiny, intimate place where the shelves surrounded you. She sent this along and I promptly cried. This is the place where I found magic and adventure, and I can never forget it.

This book is magnificent. In a near-future, a gay, Jewish man has just been elected president. Duncan, a gay, Jewish boy, is ready to celebrate--when the governor of Kansas throws everything into question. This book came out last September, but feels eerily relevant to recent events, and painfully beautiful in its depiction of Duncan.

A poem to start off the new week. By Dickinson.

An amazing read. Kowal's writing of Regency fantasy was good; her take on World War I is fantastic.

I loved Shades of Milk and Honey so much I've already moved onto the sequel! It's a fascinating, subtle series and a great genre read. #fantasy #romance #RegencyOutTheButt

This book was astounding! Everything you could want out of sci-fi and YA lit. Plus the whole story is told via primary source documents, which is like pure heroin to me. #YA #BattleststarGalacticameetsyoinglovemeetsFirefly

Just finished Where Am I Now? A wonderful, affecting book that hits the whole range of growing up girl--including a shout-out to my favorite book of childhood!

I'm cackling as I read this. Brilliant work brilliantly done.

Currently working on this.

I WISH I could bail, but this book is part of our Battle of the Books this summer. To say that it drags would be an understatement.

OOF. This book hits and keeps on hitting.

Welcome to my skull. A truck is rolling over the bones of my neck and head. The vertebrae break, the brains pop and ooze. A thousand flashlights shine in my eyes. The world tilts.

Wonderful and dark without losing its sense of the fantastic.
