Not really reading anything at the moment but this whole month of April Ive bought a few of the Marvel Comics black and white Essentials for the original Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine series Volume 2. Alot of stuff I missed out back in the day
I will pick up these books at the library today, I hope, after a big bowl of tabbouleh:
You by Caroline Kepnes
Bad country by C. B. McKenzie, and
Memory man by David Baldacci
book keeps getting worse and worse. Horrible modern day update of Pride and Prejudice, full of romance novel tropes (why are grown men always punching people in these books? Why does no one ask a simple GD question before they get their panties in a bunch? Do movie stars actually decide to do community theater because they spot 'the girl'? And why the hell is the caterer cast as Elizabeth Bennett?)
O Joy O Joy-- There is a follow-on!! The Last Mile I've reserved it at B&N and my gift card is poised!! O Joy O Joy!!Out of these three, the only voice I could grasp was Baldacci's Memory Man I liked this very much and hope that he will start another series starring Amos Decker! As to the other two, I will take them back to the library and maybe retrieve at another time.
And you have to submit a review?????????????? Yucka poo..............Wishing you luck there.
I do I keep asking myself, "If this was a genre you liked to read, would you like this book?" I honestly can't imagine anyone finishing this book and raving about it. It's just not good. Trying to think of positives: 'it's all spelled correctly' is all I can come up with so far--lol.And you have to submit a review?????????????? Yucka poo..............Wishing you luck there.

True. We have an Essential Wolverine that's lovely even without color, and my daughter has a book of '30s and '40s Batman comics that are the same. Good art is enhanced by color, but it's not strictly necessaryThose Essentials trades are a great bargain. Lack of color can be annoying sometimes, but if the art is good enough, it doesn't matter.
