“Only Santas in the Building” By Alexis Daria Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

All Evie Cruz wants for Christmas is a nap. And maybe some ornaments for her naked Christmas tree. And while she’s making a list, she wouldn’t mind unwrapping her sexy upstairs neighbor like a present. Luckily, the building’s Santa-themed party and a surprise sprig of mistletoe give her just the opening she needs to make all her wishes come true.

This book has to easily be my favorite book from the “Under The Mistletoe Collection” book series. And I’m gonna explain why in this review of course.

The plot in this book is very sweet and very cozy to read. The plot in this book is actually very interesting, enjoyable and it engages the read to keep reading until the very end. Which in my opinion the previous books in this series didn’t do.

We don’t get a lot of characters in this book but does we get are actually very very good. Which really surprised me because the previous books in this series had meh characters. But this book is actually very different from the previous books in this series but of course different in a good way. The characters in this book very realistic, relatable but also at the same time very cute as for an Christmas book this is 

The female main character has my childhood dream job which gave me the biggest childhood nostalgia and because of a part of myself couldn’t help it but fall in love with her.

Both of the main characters in this book are so adorable and sweet to read during the Christmas holidays. Which really made my day when I read this book in one sitting.

The Christmas spirit is this book is just so cozy and fun that in a way it has boosted my Christmas spirit last Christmas I actually read this book and the entire series in general. Which I personally gave this book some extra points because of it giving me a little Christmas kick.

The plot in this book actually has a very generic Christmas plot do it, since the main characters moves into a new apartment building and she gets a crush on her upstairs neighbor. But the way the author tells this generic plot, makes it unique in a way and the plot doesn’t feel like you have watched or read the same plot unfold a million times before. Which again made me give this book some extra points for doing that.

The writing style in this book surprised me a lot to be honest. Because it was simple and quick to read but at the same time it didn’t feel like a typical YA writing style. It felt more like a advanced version of that, which can resonate with the YA readers and those of us who aren’t big fans of the YA genre.

I don’t know if it was just me but I had a really hard time trying to put this book done while reading it. And because of this I read this entire book in one sitting. But also the fact that this book is 50 something pages long makes it very easy to read this book in one sitting.

If ups are looking for a Christmas book to read during this Christmas season I would recommend this one because how much I loved this book.

“The Inventor #1” By Rave Mehta &  Erik Williams Review

Posted in Comic Book ReviewTagged , Leave a comment

The Inventor is the story of how one man stood against the goliaths of industry and changed the world with nothing but his mind, passion, and vision for a better humanity. At the end of the 19th century, during a time when inventors were known as wizards and corporations considered their kingdoms, emerged an extraordinary league of gentlemen who shaped the modern world with their minds, money and machines. Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, J.P. Morgan, Guglielmo Marconi, Mark Twain, Lord Kelvin, Swami Vivekananda and others stood at the helm of the ship as the perfect storm was approaching. 

I gotta admit here, I really like this comic book. Since it is captivating from the very first page, offering a delightful blend of creativity, adventure, and emotional depth.

The plot of this comic book is about a young inventor with dreams that stretch beyond the ordinary. Which I personally really liked and found to be very interesting and enjoyable.

The storytelling in this comic book is good since the narrative of this comic book is both engaging and thought-provoking.

The protagonist’s journey is filled with challenges and discoveries, making it easy for us as readers to root for their success. 

The pacing in this comic book is in my opinion very spot-on, with a perfect balance of action, character development, and world-building that keeps the reader hooked.

In my opinion the artwork in this comic book is a standout element of this comic. Since the illustrations in this comic book are vibrant and dynamic, perfectly complementing the narrative. Each panel is meticulously crafted, bringing the inventive creations and fantastical settings to life.

The character designs are expressive, capturing a range of emotions that enhance the storytelling.

“Star Wars: Free Comic Book Day 2015” By Miles Lane & Nicola Scott Review

Posted in Comic Book ReviewTagged , Leave a comment

Check out this precursor issue to Revenge of the Sith! With the battle between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance heating up, who will prove victorious? An explosive, high-flying adventure you have to read to believe!

I need to admit that its been a while since I read a good comic book, and you know what always does the job for me ? Of course its Star Wars comic books, I haven’t come across a bad Star Wars comic book yet at least so lets hope that it stays like this for a long time. But lets get back to the topic of reviewing this particular star wars comic book. 

This comic book in a way beautifully captures the essence of what makes Star Wars so beloved. Which of course is a mix of adventure, rich character development, and the timeless struggle between good and evil.

The plot in this comic book is very engaging, interesting and very enjoyable. Because of how good is it made but also how accessible it is. At the time of writing this review, this comic book is a free on amazon for people who own an Amazon Kindle which means that you get this comic book for free which makes me give this comic book some extra points for that. 

If you are looking to dive into Star Wars comic book universe, and haven’t done that already than I need to tell you that this comic book is one of the few comic book (I’ve read so far) that is very good for newcomers into the Star Wars comic book world.

I need to admit that the narrative of this comic book feels very authentic to the Star Wars lore, because tat the narrative is incorporating familiar elements while introducing fresh ideas.

The pacing of this comic book is very good. Because it isn’t too fast or too slow, its the right of amount of pacing or at least it was that for me even thou a part of me wished that this comic book could have been longer than it actually was. The pacing allows the action-packed sequences and quieter, character-driven moments to drive themselves in a way. The pacing allows both the action moments and the quieter moments to unpack themselves without forcing them to be faster or slower which I really liked about this comic book. 

The artwork in this comic book is very beautiful and done in an amazing way. Its clear that the artist put a lot of time and effort to giving us as readers a good artwork which the readers would actually enjoy. The attention details in the artwork sort of brings the plot into life in a way on the pages. 

This comic book delves into a lot of character relationships, particularly the bonds between heroes and their struggles. Which really made so much more interested in this comic book because of this aspect of this comic book

At the same time this comic book gave me a big nostalgia to the time when I was 5 or 6 years old and watched the Star Wars movies for the first time, which easily makes me give any star wars comic book, normal book or movie / show extra points for doing that.

“A Court of Wings and Ruin” By Sarah J. Maas Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit. One slip could bring doom not only for Feyre, but for everything-and everyone-she holds dear.

This book is the third book in the “A Court of Thorns and Roses” book series. And I gotta say that so far this series is getting better and better with each book I read.

The plot here is very interesting because it involves so much action. We get battle preparations and a battle itself which were very very interesting and I didn’t noticed when I read this book. Because I was so much clued to this book and just couldn’t bring myself to put it down and stop reading it.

The sexual aspect, wasn’t so frequent as in the 2 previous books, because this book focused more on the action aspect which of course is the battle and the battle preparation which this book goes through. I personally didn’t miss it, because the action it was replaced with makes up for it. 

The writing style in this book is even better than the writing style in the first and second book. Somehow Sarah J Maas improved her amazing writing style for this book. Its even more interesting and it grabs your attention from the first page and doesn’t let it go until the very end of this book. Which I personally love when it happens in books. 

The writing style was very very good. It was almost like the author knew what words to use to completely grab my attention and to not let it go until the very end of this book. 

The characters in this book are even more incredible and amazing than in the first and second book of this series. 

Each of the character had so much character development in this book as well as in the entire series as a whole. I gotta admit that with each book of this series I read and I cant help but fall more in love with the characters of this series. 

The ending in this book was a roller coaster ride of emotions. I cant say what happens since I don’t want to give away spoilers for people who haven’t read this book or the series yet. But wow, I wasn’t expecting such an satisfying and emotional wreaking ending to this book.

“Darth Plagueis” By James Luceno Review

Posted in Book review, Star WarsTagged , , Leave a comment

Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, Master and acolyte, target the galaxy for domination–and the Jedi Order for annihilation. But can they defy the merciless Sith tradition? Or will the desire of one to rule supreme, and the dream of the other to live forever, sow the seeds of their destruction?

This book gives us background information which takes place before “Revenge of the Sith” movie. And we finally learn all about the “Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise”.

I gotta say that after reading this book Darth Plagueis. I gotta admit that he became one of my favorite characters from Star Wars. Because there are a lot of aspects about him that makes him deserve his own show.

If you have read the Darth Maul books and Star Wars comic series you will notice that this book reuses information about Darth Plagueis rather than giving us some new info about Darth Plagueis. But this book book gives us this information in its unique way so dont worry this book doesn’t feel like reading Darth Maul books. 

The writing style in this book is very good. It feels like the author knew what words to use to completely grab your attention and not let it go until the very end. The writing style played very well with the plot and action of this book which really made me give this book some extra points for doing that.

The ending of this book is very very good. Its very satisfying and it is something we as the readers deserved after reading the entire book. The ending of this book also gives us a lot of potential of sequels of this book and like this could be a part of a series about Darth Sidious.

This book involves a lot of characters we already know about like Darth Maul, Count Dock and it mentions characters like Anakin, Padme,  Obi Wan, Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda but we also get some more of the characters we can see in the movies and series. 

This book is very slow and it contains a lot of political intrigues and action rather than the lightsaber action. We get real Sith action at the end of this book but other than that the real action is Darth Sidious as Sheev Palpatine doing his political schemes. 

If you want to learn more about Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious than this book is the go-to here. Because this book is about Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious. But it also shows us how Sheev Palpatine become THE POLITICIAN in the star wars universe. 

This book is also a good stand alone book, even thou it has the potential to become the first book of a series of books.

“Absolute Power 2024 FCBD Special Edition #1” By Mark Waid & Mikel Janín Review

Posted in Comic Book ReviewTagged , Leave a comment

The prelude to the biggest DC Comics event of 2024 is here! It’s a story 30 years in the making… and in this special Free Comic Book Day tale, the final domino to fall in an epic scheme comes tumbling down, and the DC Universe will never be the same. More details coming soon!

I gotta admit that the plot of this comic book is very very interesting, tis book isn’t as much about the DC Comics superhero as much as it is about Amanda Waller and all the shady things and experiments she been doing. Which for me personally was very interesting because I always thought that Amanda Waller was one of the most underrated characters from the DC Comics Universe.

The plot in this comic book is engaging, interesting, enjoyable and thought-provoking because this comic book talks about moral complexities of power and responsibility.

The dialogue in this comic book is very good because it the dialogues used in this comic book felt very realistic and something I would use in real life. Which in a way got me to give this comic book some extra points for.

The characters here are very good, because they have in a way a lot of depth and personality to them which can be seen through the drawings and dialogues of this comic book.

The narrative which is being used in this comic book has a sense of urgency and drama to it which I really liked because it kept me sitting at the edge of my sit during the entire read of this comic book.

“Free Comic Book Day 2021: Spider-Man/Venom #1” By Zeb Wells & Ram V. & Bryan Hitch & Al Ewing Review

Posted in Comic Book ReviewTagged , Leave a comment

Free Comic Book Day is the perfect chance to dive deep into the Marvel Universe with new stories and exciting adventures alongside some of Marvel’s most acclaimed creators – and this year, Marvel is bringing you the biggest and boldest stories yet! Plus, a Venom story written by Al Ewing & Ram V with art by Bryan Hitch that leads directlt into their run on VENOM. Starring Spider-Man and Venom!

I need to admit that this comic book is easily now my second favorite comic book so far in my life at least. Because it is very very good.

The spider-man part of this comic book is about spider man having a new suit and going into a hostage rescue missing. And I gotta say that a part of me didn’t want it to end because I found it to be so interesting and enjoyable. The entire spider man part really got me sitting on the edge of my sit during the entire read of that part. 

As for the venom part of this comic book, I gotta say that it is just as interesting as the spider-man part of this comic book. But the plot of that really was something new to be since I never actually got around to where Eddie Brock and venom being the king(s) of all the symbiotes. Which really got me interested in that aspect and a part of me wished that the venom part of this comic book would have been much longer so that we really could put myself into the plot and how much potential it has for at least a very good short movie about venom.

There is a lot of action in both of the parts of this comic book, and the action is very very good. And I personally really loved reading that.

At the same time I gotta admit that the The artwork in this comic book, was very very good. It was very stunning and so beautiful which really speaks about how much time and effort the artist behind the drawings at put into this comic book.

“Free Comic Book Day 2024: Star Wars #1” By Charles Soule & Ibraim Roberson & Ramon Rosanas & Greg Pak Review

Posted in Comic Book ReviewTagged , Leave a comment

Are there REBEL survivors stranded on HOTH? LUKE SKYWALKER, LEIA ORGANA, LANDO CALRISSIAN and CHEWBACCA mount a dangerous rescue mission to ECHO BASE! Lightsabers! Blasters! Snowtroopers! All-out action amongst the wreckage of AT-AT walkers, Rebel airspeeders and frozen weapons of mass destruction! DARTH VADER employes a surprise character from the past to help him find LUKE SKYWALKER. But SABE, former handmaiden of PADME AMADALA is also on a quest for the son of Vader. Having worked for him as an IMPERIAL COMANDER, Sabe has enough resources to cause chaos for anyone who stands in her path. How will this affect the DARK LORD’S plans to remove PALPATINE from power?

This comic book has to be my all time favorite comic book I’ve read so far in my life. And why that is, I will of course explain in this review because thats why I’m writing it in the end.

This comic has so good plot lines. In this comic book we get two plot lines, one following Luke, Leia, Chewie and Lando and the second plot line follows Darth Vader’s scheme to capture Luke. And I gotta say that both of those plot line gave me huge nostalgia to my very first time watching the Star Wars movie. And solely because of this I cant help myself but love this comic book even more than I already did from getting the amazing plot lines. 

The artwork in this comic book is so very good, which really at times made me feel like I was watching a animated star wars short movie rather than reading a comic book. Which of course made me give this comic book extra points for doing.

There is a lot of character development in a way happening in this comic book, and there is a lot of the OG Star Wars action. Like gun action and the Sith intriguing and scheming going on. Which really thats why star wars is so much fun for me personally at least. 

The narrative of both stories in this comic book feel very familiar to what we expect from star wars content (movies, series, comic books, books and video games) but at the same time both of the stories in this comic book feel fresh. By fresh I mean that it doesn’t feel like it is just copying everything else we have seen in the past in the star wars movies. The author and the artist gives us the Star Wars familiarity of what makes Star Wars, Star Wars but at the same time it gives us a new storyline and expends the universe in a way. 

We get the OG star wars characters in this comic book, but we also get 2 new characters and oh boy I would love to see more of the 2 new characters we get in this comic book. 

If you are a star wars fan (like myself) and you are looking to start your journey with star wars comic book then easily (in my opinion) this comic book is a very good place to start that journey.

“You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life” By Jen Sincero Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

In this refreshingly entertaining how-to guide, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author and world-traveling success coach, Jen Sincero, serves up 27 bite-sized chapters full of hilariously inspiring stories, sage advice, easy exercises, and the occasional swear word. If you’re ready to make some serious changes around here, You Are a Badass will help you: Identify and change the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors that stop you from getting what you want, blast past your fears so you can take big exciting risks, figure out how to make some damn money already, learn to love yourself and others, set big goals and reach them – it will basically show you how to create a life you totally love, and how to create it now.

I gotta say that this book is probably the best self help book Ive read this year. This talks about some pretty useful things which I personally found to be helpful. At the same time this book offers you some great techniques to make your life better.

The writing style in this book was very good, because it was like the author knew exactly what words to use too completely grab your attention and to not let it go until the very end of the book.

If you been following this website for a while then you will know that I’ve reviewed my fair share of self-help books in the past, but this one is unique because it talks about things which weren’t mentioned in the books I read in the best which really made me give this book some extra points for.

At the same time this book motivates you to actually put to use al the things which this book talks about. Which for me it rarely happens when a self-help book actually motives me rather than throw some mental health tactics down my throat.

At the same time this book is very easy and fun to read. Which really surprised me because most self help books turns out to be very uninteresting for me to read. But this one was different. I actually enjoyed reading this one.

This book is very hard to put down, because its so interesting and fun to read. I personally read this book in one day because I was so sucked into it and I just couldn’t put it down.

“Zaginięcie” By Remigiusz Mróz Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , , Leave a comment

Trzyletnia dziewczynka znika bez śladu z domku letniskowego bogatych rodziców. Alarm przez całą noc był włączony, a okna i drzwi zamknięte. Śledczy nie odnajdują żadnych poszlak świadczących o porwaniu i podejrzewają, że dziecko nie żyje. Doświadczona prawniczka, Joanna Chyłka, i jej początkujący podopieczny, Kordian Oryński, podejmują się obrony małżeństwa, któremu prokuratura stawia zarzut zabójstwa. Proces ma charakter poszlakowy, mimo to wszystko zdaje się wskazywać na winę rodziców – wszak gdy wyeliminuje się to, co niemożliwe, cokolwiek pozostanie, musi być prawdą.

This book is available in polish, Russian and English, at the time of writing this review. Having out of the way we can start talking about this book.

This book is the second book in “Chyłka & Zordon” series. After reading and loving the first book in this series I was afraid that I wouldn’t like so much this second book and that it would be less impressive than the first book. But this book is just as interesting and enjoyable as the first book in this series. 

The plot in this book is a little bit less interesting than in the first book. But it is still very very interesting and it sucks you right into the plot. And I personally couldn’t put this book down because I was so sucked into this book, and even when I wasn’t reading this book I was thinking about this book all the time because I wanted to know what will happen next.

This book has more humor and joking from the main character than what we got in the first book, so under this aspect this book is a little bit better than the first book because the jokes the main characters make throughout this book it makes the whole book less tense.

I had some problems with the ending in this book, because the ending was very rushed and it felt like the author himself didn’t know what the ending should be liked so he just rushed through the last chapters of this book.

There is a big plot twists where of course the whole mystery gets solved and we see what truly happened to the little girl which vanished from the house in the middle of the night. And I loved the plot twists at the ending because you were like “of course that this must have happened, I should have thought about this but I didn’t”. The solution for the vanishing of the little girl is all over the book, but you just don’t think about it. 

The writing style in this book is very very incredible because its like the author knows what words to use to completely grab your attention with is. The writing style also plays very well with the plot, characters and setting.

The main characters in this book which of course are Joanna Chyłka and Kordian Oryński are even better than they were in the first book. And you can see the character development they had from book one. They are still the same characters they were in the first book, but in this book they seem smarter from what they went through in the first book.

In a way Joanna Chyłka and Kordian Oryński have more personality in this book than what they had in the first book. I liked them much more in this book than in the first book because both this second book and the first book are on the larger size so it means that you spend a lot of time with them which makes it easier for you to like them.

We also get new characters in this book, they were also very very good character. Not as good as the main characters but still they were good and I liked them a lot. They had their unique personalities which made me like them even more.

The edition I have of this book is 506 pages long, and I was so sucked into this book that I didn’t notice the length of this book and I read this book much faster than I expected.
