The Smell of Ink/Lukten av Trykksverte

As I recently read 30 Days of Night: Return to Barrow by Steve Niles, I'll post my review today. Description from Goodreads 30 Days of Night was one of the undisputed success stories of modern comics, spawning a bestselling trade paperback, a major motion picture deal, and the attention of thousands of fans longing for an innovative tale of terror. Now the same creative team revisits Barrow, Alaska, the town where it all began, as the long night creeps once more over the tundra. Some things may have changed, but the horror remains... My Thoughts on the Book I really enjoyed the amazing artwork in this one and it gave off proper creeps due to the gloomy and frost-bitten colour scheme. It really fits the story, which were fast-paced. It may not be the best story/book I've read, but it's okay for some quick entertainment.

It's Friday yet again, which means it's perhaps time for another Let's Talk Bookish post courtesy of  Book Nook Bits  and  Dinipanda Reads , and today's topic is travelling for literature. Here's the further prompts for today's discussion. Many books are inspired by real-life settings. Have you ever visited places inspired by books you’ve read? What places are on your bucketlist? If you could visit any fictional setting come to life, where would you go? While I've yet to visit any places I've written down on my bucket list after reading a book set in that place, there's places I've visited that has been featured in books I've read afterwards. Among those places, there's York, UK, (Murder by the Minster by Helen Cox and The Sweetest Thing by Fiona Shaw), London, UK, (Murder at the British Museum by Jim Eldridge and The Ravenmaster: My Life with the Ravens at the Tower of London by Christopher Skaife), and Edinburgh, Scotland (City of Ghos...

I've been procastinating a bit when it comes to writing and posting reviews, but I've finally kicked myself in the arse a little bit. I read the graphic novel version of Starblood by Carmilla Voiez recently and today I'll post my review. Description from Goodreads Satori is desperate to win back his ex girlfriend, Star. He tries to summon a demon to command its help, but manages to bring Lilith, queen of the demons, into his bedroom, unleashing her on Earth. Lilith seduces Star and takes her on a wild murder spree that culminates in Scotland. Can Satori save Star and himself or will Lilith destroy them both? With stunning art by Anna Prashkovich, this graphic novel adaptation of Carmilla Voiez's novel Starblood is a treat for mature audiences. 18+. Includes some nudity. My Thoughts on the Book I really enjoyed the art in this one, even if I'm not one to read a lot of graphic novels, and it tempts me to read a bit more in the future. While I liked the characters Sat...

It's Friday and perhaps it's time for another Let's Talk Bookish post courtesy of  Book Nook Bits  and  Dinipanda Reads , and today's topic is Pride Month book recs. Here's the further prompts for today's discussion. Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, we’d love to hear about your favourite LGBTQIA+ books, why you love them, and what books you’d recommend for a summer Pride reading list. Are there any new releases you’re looking forward to reading this Pride Month? As I'm bi myself, I was happy that such a topic came up, and some of my favourite LGBTQIA+ books include Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Blood Born by Renee Lake, Horseman: A Tale of Sleepy Hollow by Christina Henry, and Cackle by Rachel Harrison, which are all books I'd recommend people to read. I do enjoy Carmilla as it's a proper gothic vampire tale, Horseman for it being a retelling with a trans protagonist, and Cackle just for the vibe it gives off. I don't have any new releases in...

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for another Top Ten Tuesday post courtesy of  That Artsy Reader Girl  and as it was a summer freebie when it comes to themes this week, I decided writing a list of horror books to read in the summer. Here's my ten spine chilling picks. His Final Girl by Brooklyn Ann Description from Goodreads DON’T GO IN THE WOODS Computer nerd, Wes Carpenter, dreads having to spend ten days at summer camp with the rest of his in-coming high school senior class. But when he meets strong-willed and confident farm girl, Linnea Langenkamp, everything about being away at camp improves immediately. When a malicious prank awakens an ancient evil, turning their summer romance into a bloodbath, Wes and Linnea pray they make it home alive while fighting for the survival of their classmates. With Wes’s ingenuity and Linnea’s knowledge of the forest, together they may be able to stop the killer, save the camp, and maybe even find their happily ever after on the way....
