February 2019 — A Wrap-Up
So, the series came to an end. I was sorry to say goodbye to the idiots — by which I mean Percy and Grover because Annabeth is too smart. But I am also glad that it ended on the right note. The source of all the trouble on Earth and the reason why the Titans…
Project Frankenstein Comes to an End with this Latest Review
The book might have been repetitive but it did leave me with some interesting ideas, such as: Sewing human parts together doesn’t rewrite their DNA, so any monster children will be built on normal human DNA. The context here was the theory that if Victor was clever enough to make a human being, he surely…
Glowing Fish & Bucketfuls of Spider Silk in Goat Milk, Frankenstein’s Cat by Emily Anthes Showcases Some of the Wonders of the Biotechnological World While also Raising Some Important Questions!
The penultimate installment in Project Frankenstein was a joy to read. It was relatively short and full of stuff that I find interesting. I am dividing this review into three parts: 1. Here is a Snippet from the book: 2. Then there were these Sciency Bits that I enjoyed ruminating upon: Cloning other adult mammals…
Happy 1st FrankenDay from Midu Reads! Come, Celebrate by Putting Together an Undead Hybrid Creature & then Forgetting All About It!
It was a year ago today that I embarked on the journey to finish over a dozen books. Mary Shelley’s birthday had just come and gone, making me realize that I didn’t know much about her. I hadn’t read Frankenstein, which I remedied instantly. Neither had I known anything about the teenager who might…
August 2017 — A Wrap-Up for the Month of Graphic Novels & Comics
The previous month was all about graphic novels and comics. Here is what I read in August and what I thought about it: Monster of Frankenstein Vol. 1 As part of Project Frankenstein, this volume failed to make an impression. I was sad to see that all the stories missed the most essential characteristic present…
Book Booty, August 2017
So, a visit to Kitabain brought me these beauties. Let’s look at them all: I am slowly collecting my way through the Discworld novels. Sadly, I still have a ways to go. Anyway, planning to get back to this series as soon as I find the second book. Thia hardcover edition is beautiful and contains…
July 2017 — A Wrap-Up
As fun as only Douglas Adams books can be. Although, it might also be due to my technique that I apply when reading books by DA. I space them out, which keeps the jokes and randomness from being repetitive and not-random! I won this in a giveaway. Read my review here. Okay, so this was…
A Review of the Reasons Why the Frankenstein’s Monster in the Eponymous Book by Susan Heyboer O’Keefe Will Break Your Heart!
Background He begins his story right from where the original work by Mary Shelley left off. The monster tries to kill himself and fails repeatedly. If the polar cold doesn’t hurt him, I’d say there are few things that could! P.S. Read my review of the original classic here. For more information on Project Frankenstein,…
January Wrap-Up
The Lady And Her Monsters by Roseanne Montillo My Review The book follows Mary’s life right from the moment of her birth and touches on every source of inspiration that led to the writing of Frankenstein. Just a heads up, Mary Shelley’s life was no bed of roses! The King (Black Dagger Brotherhood #12)…
Roseanne Montillo’s, The Lady & Her Monsters, Takes us Behind the Scenes & Plops us Down Right into Mary Shelley’s Life
Oh, what a sad life Mary Shelley led! The book follows Mary’s life right from the moment of her birth and touches on every source of inspiration that led to the writing of Frankenstein. The story would leave Mary for a while at some points and follow other people who were vital to the writing…
An Account of What Happened on My Two Recent Frankendates and an Update on the status of Project Frankenstein
Frankendate #1 This Frankenmonster hailed from Switzerland, just as Mary Shelley had said he would. He was shy and reticent about the horrors he had seen. Part of the series, The Department 19, by Will Hill, this novella is a “file” from the department. It fills in some gaps from the time Frankenmonster left to…
