Reading Challenges
The Atlantis Cipher, David Leadbeater
What’s up, my darling nerds? I have finally (finally!) read a book not only with the word “Atlantis” in the title, but actually about Atlantis!! Unbelievably, it isn’t even part of my Instagram #PPCAtlantis series which is both unfortunate and… Read More ›
The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman

Lifel1k3, Jay Kristoff
Here’s the first thing you need to understand: Lifel1k3 is the first of Jay Kristoff’s books that I have read. I still don’t know if that was a good idea, or a terrible idea. If you’re read Lifel1k3 or intend… Read More ›
Manga Classics: The Stories of Edgar Allan Poe
Hello hello, lovely readers! So: manga. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I flipped to the first page (at the back!) of this book. While I’ve read comics and graphic novels, this was the first manga I have… Read More ›
