There’s a superb interview with author Carla Jablonski about her Graphic Novel Resistance over at The Boston Bibliophile blog. Seriously, it’s a good little interview that will make you really want to read the book!

TWO — THREE SENTENCE BOOK REVIEWS!
The Book of Lost Things: A Novel by John Connolly from Washington Square Press: I was really disappointed with this one. Too much hype? The novel borrowed heavily from Neil Gaiman, but never took of in the end.
Nocturnes by John Connolly from Washington Square Press: This on the other hand I liked! Short and creepy stories that made me feel 12 years old again. And the last story (a novella actually) is a crime thriller that had me glued to the book.
In the Woods by Tana French from Penguin: Again, a book with A LOT OF HYPE. Parts of this novel were beyond excellent, while there were other sections that I was practically skipping over. Still, I recommend In the Woods for anyone who likes murder mysteries with an extremely cruel tinge to them.
Currently I’m reading Morris Dickstein’s Dancing in the Dark: A Cultural History of the Great Depression.
See you next week when Paddy REALLY begins to
experience the horrors of the Coffin Ships.
