I've finished uni and work's not being too liberal with shifts (for me, anyway) so I'm finding I have a lot of free time on my hands. Struggling with ideas that don't require lots of moolah (see above re: not a lot of work), I've decided I ought to do some more reading and reviewing. I am behind on my comic reviews, so I'll get to that, but I've decided to work my way through the Australian scifi/fantasy section of my uni's library, and my own bookshelf. I'm passionate about Australian authors (since I hope to be one :P) and even though my blog is mostly beauty (and that's a lot of fun!) I've decided to branch out a bit more. I'll also being doing some classics/'must-read' books. I just finished
Life of Pi by Yann Martel. I'm going to re-read it before I review it, if I can manage to keep myself away from all the shiny new books I'll be getting tomorrow!
I will keep posting make-up and nail polish stuff, don't worry (I have a lovely big High Voltage Cosmetics order on the way)! And I still have my handy-dandy tags at the top of the posts, so you can see without having to read the post itself what it's going to contain.
Do you have a favourite book/series/comic? Please comment and let me know; if I can get my hands on it, I'll definitely read and review it! If you don't have any rec's, tell me what kind of info you like to see in book/comics reviews.
On my shelf (Aussie authors bolded):
The View From the Mirror quartet by Ian Irvine
Silverbirch by Rob Kaay

Dragonfly by Frederic S. Durban I'm dumb, and forgot I already did a review of this. Read it

I would love to see a Deadpool review! :-)
ReplyDeleteHehe, well at the moment all I have is Pulp, Wade Wilson's War and a pile of Merc With a Mouth (which disappeared from my LCS, and I was really enjoying it!)
ReplyDeleteDeadpool was pretty much my introduction to non-Whedonverse comics, so of course he gets a spot! :)
Join Goodreads you hoebag! :D
ReplyDeleteAlso, holy shit your library has an AUSSIE scifi/fantasy section? Epic!
Argh I keep meaning to and then forgetting! Yeah, the books are divided into continent and then alphabetical by author. So poor John Wyndam's books have 'EW' plastered over their spines!
