This has been on my TBR for a while now. I got thrown into the LitRPG scene I think about a year ago with Will Wight's Cradle Series. I remember devouring those 9 books (at the time) over a period of 3 weeks. I'll upload a review of that sometime in the future. I followed …

All-Star Superman is a 12 issue series from the famous Grant Morrison and Frant Quitely. Having been a fan of Grant Morrison's Batman run I was excited to pick this up. This is probably the first standalone Superman comic I’ve read but in spite of that it seems unlikely that any other could surpass this …
This is the first Batman graphic novel I’ve read in a long time. The team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo return after their impresive Batman new 52 run. I heard quite a bit about this at the time of its release in 2017. The story revolves around a very interesting premise involving the multiverse …

Jack West Jr. #2 - The Six Sacred Stones This is the follow up book to the Seven Deadly Wonders by Matthew Reilly. While this potentially could be read on its own, there are quite a few references to events that happened in the previous book. In fact the events of this book are a …

This duology written by Marie Lu takes places in a dystopian future very similar to that seen in Ready Player One. Here as well we have the general populace hooked onto the use of technology that allows them to roam a virtual world. In this series this virtual space is mainly used for Warcross, a …
Keigo Higashino has me craving mystery books this year, so I picked up Still Life by Louise Penny in the hopes of something similar. This is the first book in the series, where we follow the exploits of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, a member of the provincial police force of Quebec, as he solves mysteries …
