Neil Gaiman’s voice sounds like his writing. I suppose that’s not terribly surprising. Of course the man who puts words together with uncompromising directness, and yet imbues so many phrases with little conspiratorial smirks, would also speak plainly and with a dry sense of humor. But there is also something about the quality of his […]

Well, it’s finally happened. The Red Wedding has aired and now those who haven’t read the books can weep along side all of us book readers. Welcome to the misery! There have been many nods to book readers by the creators during these past two seasons and it’s been very hard not to frantically emote […]

Season three has introduced an insane amount of new characters that may be leaving some fans a bit overwhelmed. This cast is huge and sometimes it’s easy to forget people.  Also many characters who start out small end up becoming important later on, which complicates having an incredibly large cast even further.  I mean who […]

I won’t lie, I picked up the first in the Rivers of London series because I thought the cover was pretty. Yes, I’m that reader, the shallow one that judges every book by its cover design. Why that isn’t actually such a bad thing is fodder for another article, but right now I’m thinking back […]

For book readers, last night’s episode was a wonderfully frustrating tease for what’s to come.  Every scene had me clapping my hands with excitement because all this awesome stuff that I’d read about is starting to roll out on the screen.  But it was all over so fast not any one of the story lines […]

While Sansa isn’t my all time favorite character (all hail Daenerys), she’s definitely at least in my top five.  I don’t expect everyone to have the same taste in characters that I do, but I must admit that I’m sort of mystified by the extreme level of hatred towards her. From my point of view, […]

A wave of disappointment washed over me this past Monday. It was the first Monday I’d had in a long time without something to look forward to. That something was a  recently completed web series from the brilliant minds of Hank Green (of VlogBrothers fame) and Bernie Su called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.  The Lizzie […]

This post will contain spoilers, but they will all be hidden underneath spoiler text with clearly defined warnings ahead of them. Highlight the text to read the spoilers.  I am very protective of Game of Thrones spoilers, so I’m taking all the precautions so no complaining if you highlight them and get upset.  You have […]

You probably haven’t heart of Philip Reeve. No, this isn’t the start of a hipster rant about some tiny author who only writes flash fiction on the side of Starbucks cups that I am so achingly cool I know about it and you don’t. This is a rant about how much I am in love […]

The Internet is full of people whining about how the movie adaptation of their favorite book wasn’t true to the original. About how Coraline shouldn’t have added in the character of Wybie, how Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban should have shortened the approximately ten-hour CGI fight scene with the Whomping Willow in favor […]
