It Came From Miskatonic University: Weirdly Fantastical Tales of Campus Life by Various Authors I requested this book on Netgalley and I’m so glad I did! I lucked out when I found not one but two great anthologies on Netgalley. This one–as the name indicates–runs with a Lovecraftian theme. Different stories in it describe different…

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…
December 2017 — A Wrap-Up!
A fun book and a tribute to These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer. It was a fun read. You can find my review here but here are some fun quotes from the books that I didn’t mention in it: Roman blinked again and smacked Aspid’s nose with his hand. “What did I say about…
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…
They Might Not Have Been the Best But Here Are My Better-Than-Average Reads in 2017
The subject matter and the way these stories are told affected me in a bad way. I also realized that the event had long reaching effects that went on for generations. You can find my reviews here and here. Binti is good YA, which should be recommendation enough. Just in case it isn’t, my…
October 2017 — A Belated Wrap-Up!
Things are starting to get just a bit darker and the stakes higher when it comes to Ms. Marvel’s life! She has to think whether she should be blindly following orders, even if they do come from someone she has looked up to all her life: She has to concede that she can’t…
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…

Reading Goal I have completed the goal that I set for myself this year on Goodreads. Really happy that I’m getting some reading done even with life being as crazy as it is. Project Frankenstein I have finished 11 out of the 14 books that I originally included in the post. My opinion about…
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,…
