The Day I Shot Cupid: Hello, My Name Is Jennifer Love Hewitt and I’m a Love-aholic by Jennifer Love HewittMy rating: 5 of 5 stars This was incredibly cute and also very empowering. I loved her candid stories, her sense of humour and her message to embrace our feminine sides, that we have a choice to wear and do what makes us feel good and even sexy was very liberating, especially for a tomboy like myself, who really just wants to feel sexy and feminine.I read this little gem on my first trip to the beach of the season in one sitting. It put a smile on my face and…

Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening by Marjorie M. LiuMy rating: 2 of 5 stars I thought the art work was very good, so I decided to read it. I still have barely a clue what the story was about. It jumped all over the place, had lots of dialogue, but didn’t say much and the tortured emo vibe got old very quickly.It wasn’t for me. View all my reviews

The Monk by Matthew LewisMy rating: 5 of 5 stars Oh, it’s so horrid. The story, not the writing or execution. The first time I tried to read The Monk I gave up, because I couldn’t get fully invested. This time, I am glad I stuck with it and realized I should have had more patience initially. There are some slow parts, but do not give up, attention to the details really pays off and make this story a hundred times more enjoyable.The characters are great and range from over the top eccentric to just-waiting-for-their-downfall doomed.The plot unfolded in an interesting manner with a second story sort of wedged in…

Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft ShelleyMy rating: 2 of 5 stars This was my second time reading it only because I had to for my Gothic literature class. My original rating was four stars and I remember sitting at the edge of my seat, waiting, wondering and anticipating the shock, horror and excitement that would happen on the next page, always waiting and diligently finishing the book. And I guess at the time the tease of the horror spoke to me. Now, however; I feel not much besides disappointment. Since I have read it once before, I know that the build up and then slow release is nothing but empty promises…

Saga, Vol. 7 by Brian K. VaughanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars Loved the story from beginning until the end. There are parts that are a bit slower and didn’t keep as much of my attention, but they were short and needed for the overall arc of the story. The characters were bold, had lots of depth and I appreciate that the artist let the pictures tell the story instead of cramming the frames with useless dialogue.I’m not sure what to think of the ending.I would recommend it to anyone, who enjoys graphic novels and stories set in space.
