Review: Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton
****Trigger warnings for death of a parent, mentions of rape and sexual abuse, child abandonment, cannibalism (dragons eating dragons), estrangement and death of an infant**** So over this year, I’ve been taking note of my reading tastes and particular trends I go through. I’m very much a mood reader at heart but I do know…
Weekly Pull List: August 25th
Welcome back to the blog besties! This has been….a week, to say the least. I’m still currently in a bit of a brain melty state from it but I am doing okay. Thank you to those of you who were being saints on Twitter. Surprising noone at all, I’ve mostly been seeking refuge in comics…

Weekly Pull List: August 4th
New week, new comics! Happy weekend everyone, hope things are good wherever you are. Since it’s comic book themed, I saw The Suicide Squad on Thursday and it was excellent.
