Marvel Women Kicking Ass: The Jean Grey School of... →
marvelwomenkickingass: The Jean Grey School of Higher Learning Wolverine & the X-Men was a great read. I’m going to write more on it later, but right now I wanted to post the hilarious class listings at the back of the book. (The ones I would totally sign up for are emboldened.) Class List World History (1880-1950): An Eyewitness Account, with Headmaster Logan The History of Mutant Art:...

TheSkysGoneOut: The Incredible Shrinking... →
theskysgoneout: I’m a part of Generation X, that cynical, low-expectations, grunge-loving, group of kids born (at least according to William Strauss and Neil Howe) between 1961 and 1981, though lately that cohort has been shrinking. First “Generation Jones” (1954 - 1965) came along to claim our eldest members…  I’ve always kind of felt I was between generations as well, too young...

Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while...
Comes from here: 1. If you work hard, and become successful, it does not necessarily mean you are successful because you worked hard, just as if you are tall with long hair it doesn’t mean you would be a midget if you were bald. 2. “Fortune” is a word for having a lot of money and for having a lot of luck, but that does not mean the word has two definitions. 3. Money is like a child—rarely...

LOL!  I’ve met these kids too many times.  And it does bring up the question of when does homage turn to cultural appropration to borderline racism?

Kate Beaton Sums Up Her Historiography
Paris Review: Your work seems to involve a feminist reading of history and literature.
Kate Beaton: I think that’s because I make comics that aren’t all about white presidents.

Pottermore Friends?
So, I don’t have any friends on Pottermore (SAD FACE)!  I’d really like to try out the social aspects of the site.  Anyone want to be my friend? Anyone?  I’m in Ravenclaw if it matters.  My username is: SparksFelicis127

Mockingjay
So, I actually finished this a few days ago, but I just realized I hadn’t posted my response.  Awesome book, easily the best of the three.  Great plot twists.  Anyways, once again I’m not sure how could be so right yet so wrong (again). Haymitch will make up for his betrayal. Yes, but not an all caps yes—he does it some small ways. Peeta will be declared the “winner” of the...

Catching Fire
So I got my hands and Catching fire and finished.  I was so wrong and so right at the same time.  Let’s go over my predicitions, shall we? Katniss’ mother and Prim are actually doing well, though they missed her terribly. CORRECT  They will all move into Katniss’ big house but Peeta’s family will move next door and it will be very tense. MOSTLY—Peeta moves in but apparently his...

The Hunger Games
So, after finishing Goliath the other day, I was still in a reading mood.  I have had The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins lying around since my raid on Borders when it went under.  The cool thing is that this is the first time that I’ve read a book that was on Mark Reads after Mark has read it.  I have to say it was very fun reading along with his reviews, even if he actually read it at the...

The Best Scene in a Steampunk novel ever…
I just finished Scott Westerfield’s Goliath and at the end of Chapter 7, Nikola Tesla fights off a group of giant mutant bears with an electrified walking stick. Yes, I just wrote that NIKOLA TESLA FIGHTS OFF GIANT MUTANT BEARS WITH AN ELECTRIFIED WALKING STICK!
