Books I read in February

The Caped Crusade: Batman and The Rise of Nerd Culture By Glen Weldon : A book I’ve read before, this was my phone book for awhile. It’s a good reread and I love myself some Batman. Glen is also a co-host of the pop culture podcast: NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour which I love to listen to. It helps me keep abreast of everything going on.

Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King: A collection of short stories which I didn’t realize when I started reading! They are thinly related to one another by the cast of characters in each story and it was actually very interesting. The first story is my favorite out of the four and that is actually what the movie of the same name is about.

Sourcery by Terry Pratchett: Another Rincewind the Wizard novel by the late and great Terry Pratchett. That Unseen University is always getting into trouble.

Takopi’s Original Sin by Taizan5: I did not enjoy this. It’s a newer Manga and a one shot which I love a complete collection but I did not love this. I’ll be giving my copy to my brother.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett: Another reread and a mobile phone book. I had seen some clips of the movie on my Instagram feed and decided before I re-watch the film that I would re-read the book.

We Have Always Lived in th Castle by Shirley Jackson: I really enjoyed this book, it was short and weird and I couldn’t really put it down. I’m really looking forward to reading more Shirley, she seems to scratch a gothic horror itch I didn’t know that I had in my brain.

Pyramids by Terry Pratchett: I don’t really remember this book from the past. I know I read it but maybe I only read it once? I have no idea but as an adult I think this might be my favorite one so far. It seemed like a departure from his usual fair and I love when religion goes wrong.
