What I’m Reading (21)

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

Happy Independence Day to my fellow citizens of the United States.

Okay, so on Monday, the place where I work announced that inventory was still too high and we needed to have a couple more shutdown days. They had already decided on a plant wide shut down for this Thursday and Friday (which just means Thursday for me because I work four shifts of 10 hours each week), but now they have added on next Monday and Tuesday as days off as well. This does not bode well for my paycheck (or my fiance’s, since we work at the same place), but thankfully we plan to spend our time wisely…by staying at home and reading and playing games instead of going out and spending money doing things. With any luck I will definitely kick this month off with a decent number of books finished.

So that means I may need to plan ahead for my reads for the next week. I am totally okay with this, because I am in a reading mood.

Let’s start with books I have finished since my post last Wednesday. I finished two more volumes of My Hero Academia, which means that I am all caught up with the series until the next volume is released in August. I also managed to finish Bookish Boyfriends: A Date with Darcy by Tiffany Schmidt, and I’ll have a review up for that soon.

My current reads are The Emerald Sea by Richelle Mead and A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. Going is still slow on the latter book, but I am absolutely loving the newest release by Mead–though it is making me want to reread the other two in the trilogy to try and piece together other connections I may have missed.

Finally, as for what I’d like to start reading in the next week. Oh man, I can make an intimidating list right now because of all these days off work. Okay, I think I have it figured out. I would like to start reading (and hopefully finish) Save the Date by Morgan Matson, From Twinkle, With Love by Sandhya Menon, Little Do We Know by Tamara Ireland Stone, and All of This is True by Lygia Day Penaflor.

That looks like a pretty decent list, and they are all contemporary (ish), so I should fly through them pretty quickly. And that about does it for today. I hope you all have a lovely day, and I will be back soon with more bookish content.

Review: The Supervillain and Me by Danielle Banas

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

Well, I didn’t really think ahead when I was planning my upcoming reviews and posts…because I have another superhero based tale to talk about. Oh well, what can I say? I enjoy superheroes.

Oh, and before I get too far into this post, I need to thank NetGalley and Swoon Reads for granting me early access to this book for review. As always, this privilege in no way affected my rating or review for The Supervillain and Me. And now, let’s just jump into the review.

9781250154354_p0_v1_s550x406

Summary

Never trust a guy in spandex.

In Abby Hamilton’s world, superheroes do more than just stop crime and save cats stuck in trees—they also drink milk straight from the carton and hog the television remote. Abby’s older brother moonlights as the famous Red Comet, but without powers of her own, following in his footsteps has never crossed her mind.

That is, until the city’s newest vigilante comes bursting into her life.

After saving Abby from an attempted mugging, Morriston’s fledgling supervillain Iron Phantom convinces her that he’s not as evil as everyone says, and that their city is under a vicious new threat. As Abby follows him deeper into their city’s darkest secrets, she comes to learn that heroes can’t always be trusted, and sometimes it’s the good guys who wear black.

My Thoughts

Rating: 4 stars

Overall, this was a pretty basic superpower hero/villain story. Some elements were very predictable. Honestly, that does not at all mean that this was a bad book, or that I didn’t enjoy it. Obviously I read and watch a bunch of hero/villain books and TV shows and movies. It is a tale I enjoy, no matter how many iterations of the same ideas and themes I take in.

Oh, and I can also say that I did like that Abby wasn’t treated as some super beautiful and awesome female protagonist. Nor was she some badass martial artist who could take care of herself. No, she is sometimes awkward and clumsy, and her dad–the mayor–tries to help by sending her a bunch of self-defense videos so she can learn some techniques and hopefully be able to protect herself on the dangerous streets of Morriston.

That being said, this book didn’t blow me out of the water either, despite the costumed heroes. Maybe it was experiencing it through someone who didn’t have any powers but was connected to the main powered individuals of the story. Maybe it was that I didn’t feel very invested in the characters. Maybe it wasn’t as action-packed as I might have wanted. It was a good read, but not a great one.

Still, I guess this is the first book in a series that will follow heroes in the fictional city of Morriston. That being said, this book gave me just enough of an idea about the city and its inhabitants to be prepared for more. And I’m hoping that more will mean more super-powered action and more overall development.

Where to Buy

You can pre-order this book now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-million, Book Depository, or your local indie bookstore. It will be available on shelves July 10, 2018.

Manga Review: My Hero Academia Vol 8

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

It is Manga Monday time again. This is where I continue on with my reviews for all of the manga I was reading at the end of last year. In particular this includes one of my favorite series, My Hero Academia, which is a superheroes-in-training story. Of course there is so much more to that, but I greatly enjoy both the manga and the anime, and would recommend both to anyone who enjoys a good story of students with powers learning how to use them and become heroes.

34666533

Summary

Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy.

What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?

The U.A. students have reached the practical portion of their final exam, but they didn’t expect to have to beat their own teachers in order to pass! Paired with his archrival Bakugo, Midoriya has to try to take on none other than All Might himself. Working with Bakugo is one thing, but is giving everything he’s got to beat All Might more than Midoriya can handle? And in a nearby arena, Yaoyorozu and Todoroki endure a similar struggle. All the while, a sinister new adversary prepares to make a move… 

My Thoughts

Rating: 5 stars

I feel so sorry for Midoriya, consistently being put in a position to work with or against Bakugo. They already have enough encounters and issues without the school putting them in these positions. But I also realize that looking at the talents of both Bakugo and Midoriya, if they actually did legitimately team up and work together, they could be a very powerful duo…not that I actually anticipate that happening.

Seeing how the different pairings worked together (or didn’t) to take on the practical portion of their final exam was interesting. It was also cool to see the strategies all the teachers formulated for taking on their chosen duos.

I also love how we get to see the villain perspective too, especially since sometimes I can’t exactly figure out what they’re up to.

And of course, I love that this volume is leading us up to the summer camp, and all of the training and growth that is sure to come from it. Through this series I have found that whenever they have an internship or an event like the sports festival, the students tend to learn quite a bit, as well as grow quite a bit in their Quirks and their techniques.

Where to Buy

You can pick up this and all other available volumes from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-million, Book Depository, or your local indie bookstore.

June Wrap Up and July TBR

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

We have officially made it halfway through 2018. And I have to say that I actually didn’t read as many books as I would have liked in June, but that’s okay. I had a bit of a weird work schedule, being sent to different departments and different areas to fill in. Some days it really wore me out, which led to my fiance and I watching TV or movies instead of doing a lot of reading. What I can say is that now that we have caught up on a couple of shows, we plan to take a little bit of a break from Netflix to read. I predict a better monthly wrap up for July.

Okay, let’s get started.

The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara — 3.5 stars

Dread Nation by Justina Ireland — 5 stars —review coming July 6th

Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin — 5 stars

The Supervillain and Me by Danielle Banas — 4 stars — review coming July 3rd

My Hero Academia, Vol 12 by Kohei Horikoshi — 5 stars

My Hero Academia, Vol 13 by Kohei Horikoshi — 5 stars

I also want to take a little time right now to mention the TV shows and movies that my fiance and I devoured in the month of June, because that honestly helps to explain why I didn’t read as many books. Plus they are still stories to take in, so though they are not enjoyed in the same way as books, I think they will count. And if you like me including this as part of my wrap-ups, let me know, and I’ll continue keeping track of what we’re watching for future posts.

Love, Simon — 5 stars, Tomb Raider — 5 stars, The Last Airbender — 2 stars, The Incredibles 2 (twice) — 5 stars, Legends of Tomorrow (season 3) — 5 stars, The Flash (season 4) — 4.5 stars, Peter Rabbit — 5 stars, Black Panther (again) — 5 stars, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant — 3.5 stars, John Carter — 4 stars, Batman: The Killing Joke — 4 stars, xXx — 4 stars, Warcraft — 4 stars, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb — 4.5 stars, Dungeons & Dragons — 3 stars, Mythica: A Quest for Heroes (again) — 4 stars

And now it is book haul time. It was a pretty good month for buying books. First up, we made a trip to Half Price Books, and I found three books in really good condition, including one I have been wanting to have a physical copy of for a while (Blood Bound). Other than that, every one of my books came from Barnes & Noble, except for the hardcover of Hounded by Kevin Hearne, which I got from Subterranean Press. It is an exclusive limited edition, and I absolutely love the cover. I can’t wait to see what they come up with for the rest of the series.

 

Next up is my monthly Owlcrate unboxing. It was such a fun box, and I am very much looking forward to reading the book, because it sounds like a great summer contemporary read. My other favorite item is that Mason Jar mug, and I will definitely be using that for my at home drinks while reading.

img_20180629_214715539_ll1697552144.jpg

Finally, I guess it is time to come up with my TBR. My friend Kathy over at Books & Munches is hosting Sci-Fi July, and while I am not dedicated myself solely to books in the science fiction genre, if I can read at least one of these books, I will consider my participation a success. Obviously, between the four sci-fi picks and the large stack of other books I’d like to get to, I don’t expect to get to all of these, but hopefully I’ll be able to read a decent number of them. Oh, and I’m also trying to read some of my Netgalley backlog as well, so I have a lot of books to choose from. Expect plenty of reviews to come after all of this.

That is all for today, I do believe. Well, I am off to read some more. I already started The Emerald Sea by Richelle Mead, and I am really enjoying it so far. Happy Reading everyone, and I’ll be back soon with more bookish content.

400 Followers! Thank You!

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

This is a super short post today, but I reached 400 followers yesterday and I wanted to acknowledge that milestone. I very much appreciate each and every one of you who has followed and/or commented on my blog over the last three years. I never imagined that my blog would do this well considering my past attempts at it.

You are all wonderful people, and I do plan on doing a giveaway. Obviously I have to consider costs and such. But, I think that when I hit 500 followers, I will hold a giveaway for a Book Depository gift card. That way it will be an international giveaway, since Book Depository ships pretty much everywhere.

So that’s something to look forward to. I will start figuring out the specifics for the giveaway, and then when this blog reaches 500 followers, someone will have the chance to win something to read.

Again, thank you all so much for joining me here at the blog. I will be back soon with more bookish content.

Mid Year Book Freakout Tag

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

As we are at the halfway point of the year, this tag definitely seems appropriate to post up now. I was recently tagged by Katie from Never Not Reading, which is exciting because Katie is awesome, so you should definitely go check out her blog. Anyway, I’m happy to be doing this tag, especially right before I post up my top ten reads of 2018 so far post–which is coming next week.

Okay, the rules for this are simple: answer the prompts. That being said, let’s just get started.

Best Book You’ve Read so far in 2018

Man, this is such a spoiler for my upcoming post. Plus, I don’t like actually ranking my reads. But, if I have to give an answer, my choice is going to have to be Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

34728667

Best Sequel You’ve Read so far in 2018

I have to go with The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco for this one. I am such a huge fan of this series, and I am prepared to beg for an early copy of the third book, because I need to know what happens next.

33918881

Most Anticipated Release for the Second Half of the Year

Hands down, this one goes to Access Restricted by Gregory Scott Katsoulis. It comes out at the end of August, a year after the first book. But I read the first book early thanks to getting an ARC at BookExpo, so my wait has been extra long, and the first book was my absolute top read of 2017, so I am ready to drop everything else I’m reading to dedicate myself to this release as soon as I have it in my hands.

DirectIngest,

Biggest Disappointment

Oooh…um, well, I think I’m going to pick two different books for this one, sadly. Those books are Ship It by Britta Lundin and The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara.

Biggest Surprise

I guess this prompt is going to Dread Nation by Justina Ireland. The concept sounded interesting, but the fact is that I’m still not really a fan of zombies in books/TV shows/movies. So this book ended up being an absolute favorite read of mine and I’m glad I just decided to dive in and see what happens.

30223025

Favorite New Author (or new to you)

There have been so many new to me authors this year. For this one, I think I’m going to have to say either Claire Legrand or A.C. Gaughen. I absolutely loved both Furyborn by Legrand, and Reign the Earth by Gaughen.

Newest Fictional Crush

My fiance might take offense to this one. Actually, I jest, because he has known since the beginning of our relationship that I would always have new book boyfriends or book girlfriends popping up into my life. Fictional crushes are totally fine in our relationships. No judgment. Okay, so I haven’t really had many crushes this year, but I will say Eamon O’Brien from Now A Major Motion Picture by Cori McCarthy is probably the closest to being considered a crush.

30238172

Newest Favorite Character

Some of these are tough. In the interest of talking about more books in this post, I try not to pick something for more than one category, so for this I’m going to pick Cameron from Chaotic Good by Whitney Gardner.

Chaotic Good Comps14.indd

Book That Made You Cry and Book That Made You Happy

Without a question, both of these go to the Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins comic series. I read issues #4-6 in 2018, and these characters will always make me super emotional. I have followed their adventures for a few years now, and I have posters for them in my apartment, and so so many Critical Role t-shirts. So yeah, I’m a huge fan.

Favorite Book to Film Adaptation

In 2018, definitely Love, Simon. I thought that the book was good but not as amazing as the hype made it sound, but I absolutely adored the movie.

Favorite Post You’ve Done This Year

This is a hard one. Most of my posts are wrap-ups or reviews. Well, I guess I’ll go with the Bookish Academy Awards post. I have a lot of fun going through my previous year’s reads, and selecting the winners for each category.

Most Beautiful Book You’ve Bought This Year

Hmm…I’d have to say the special hardcover release of Hounded by Kevin Hearne. Subterranean Press is doing a limited run special edition for the whole series. I pre-ordered this last year technically, but it just arrived in the mail a week or so ago, so I’m going to count it as a 2018 purchase. They should be doing the pre-order for book two very soon.

40575303

New Release You Haven’t Read Yet But Want To

There are so many books that fit this one. I’ll just choose a few.

Book You Need to Read by the End of the Year

So very many books. Have you seen my book hauls and TBRs? I need more time to read all the books. Obviously all of the books I mentioned in the last prompt, plus…I guess I’ll just toss these ones in as well.

If you have not yet done this post, then consider yourself TAGGED. I’d love to see what your Mid Year Book Freakouts look like. That’s all for today, and I’ll be back soon with more bookish content.

What I’m Reading (20)

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

Wow, it is Wednesday again already. Where is the time going? Seriously, the next time I do this post, it will be July. That is still pretty crazy to think about. Also, I can’t believe that I have been doing this post series for 20 weeks now. That is pretty good consistency. So anyway, let’s just go ahead and jump into my discussion of the books I have finished recently, the books I am currently reading, and the books I am hoping to start soon.

I actually had a pretty good week for finishing up books. I’m not going to actually have a full review up for Dragons Love Tacos, but I will say here and now that it was an absolutely adorable book, and I will be reading the sequel. The artwork was really fun, and the story itself was rather amusing. I already have a review up for The Unbinding of Mary Reade up on the blog, and I will have reviews up soon for both Dread Nation and The Supervillain and Me.  All in all, I’m pleased that I was able to start finishing up some books, because I was starting to feel a bit lazy for not having actual progress to report.

As for my current reads, I’m not making as much progress as I would like with these, but I am enjoying both. With A Closed and Common Orbit I am missing the majority of the cast from the first book, as this one is more of a companion sequel, and follows Lovelace the AI as she adjusts to being in a body instead of being an onboard ship AI. So it is slow going, but I am enjoying it. For my other read, I’m actually craving a bit more contemporary, and I also am trying to play catch-up on some of my NetGalley reads and reviews, so I’ve picked up Bookish Boyfriends, which follows a 15 year old girl who loves to read and thinks that romance in books (and boys in books) are better than reality. I’m only about 10 chapters in, and it is a cute read, but I’m waiting for stuff to really start happening.

Then comes what I am hoping to start reading soon. Obviously this is the end of the month, and I should be trying to finish up as many of my June TBR reads as I can. And considering I have actually only picked up one of the books I added to my TBR (that would be A Closed and Common Orbit), I have plenty to choose from. I think I will probably choose one of these two, but we’ll see how I’m feeling once I finish my current reads.

And I think that about does it for today. I hope you all are managing to fit some reading time into your lives, and I would love to know what you’re currently reading. Have a wonderful day and I’ll be back soon with another bookish post.

Review: The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

Continuing on with reviews for books I’ve read for GLBT Book Month, today I actually bring a review for a book I was granted early access to through NetGalley. As always, I must state that this privilege of reading the book early did not affect my rating or opinion in any way. Of course, a huge thank you to both NetGalley and Skyhorse Publishing for approving me for this book.

I was intrigued for this book because it had a cross-dressing main character, the promise of a same sex romance, and above all, pirates.

32295460

Summary

A clever, romantic novel based on the true story of a girl who disguised herself as a boy to sail with the infamous pirates Anne Bonny and Calico Jack—and fell in love with Anne Bonny.

There’s no place for a girl in Mary’s world. Not in the home of her mum, desperately drunk and poor. Not in the household of her wealthy granny, where no girl can be named an heir. And certainly not in the arms of Nat, her childhood love who never knew her for who she was. As a sailor aboard a Caribbean merchant ship, Mary’s livelihood—and her safety—depends on her ability to disguise her gender.

At least, that’s what she thinks is true. But then pirates attack the ship, and in the midst of the gang of cutthroats, Mary spots something she never could have imagined: a girl pirate. 

The sight of a girl standing unafraid upon the deck, gun and sword in hand, changes everything. In a split-second decision, Mary turns her gun on her own captain, earning herself the chance to join the account and become a pirate alongside Calico Jack and Anne Bonny.

For the first time, Mary has a shot at freedom. But imagining living as her true self is easier, it seems, than actually doing it. And when Mary finds herself falling for the captain’s mistress, she risks everything—her childhood love, her place among the crew, and even her life.

Breathlessly romantic and brilliantly subversive, The Unbinding of Mary Reade is sure to sweep readers off their feet and make their hearts soar.

My Thoughts

Rating: 3.5 stars

Here’s what I liked about this book: it started right in the middle of action, as pirates boarded the ship Mary/Mark was on. That was pretty cool, and I admit to being as intrigued as our main character was upon seeing a woman in a dress seemingly an equal with the rest of the pirate band.

But first impressions can sometimes be wrong, and nothing is really as it seems with this story. Honestly, in a number of ways I felt sorry for Mary, for the life she basically had forced on her because of her mother. Mary spent a majority of her life pretending to be Mark, and that constantly acting like a boy seemed to have altered how she thought and acted a great deal of the time.

Mary’s secret was revealed to the pirates rather early on in the book, and I was expecting that tension of keeping such a huge secret would have held out a bit longer, and the revelation left me wondering just what would happen for the rest of the pages.

Sadly, the deeper I got into the story, the less interested I became. Many of the characters felt fairly shallow to me, and I could not stand how whiny and wishy-washy Anne was. The relationship between Mary and Anne never felt like there was any sort of deep romantic connection, just two people who were together when they had no other options. Anne consistently went back to Jack, and Mary kept pining for her best friend Nat.

I wanted more action, more pirate-y adventure, and I certainly wanted a great romance. Sadly this book did not meet the expectations I had built up for it based on the summary. So I’m sure there will be people out there who really love this book, and who will connect with the characters and the story. I think overall it is worth a read, purely for the Mary/Mark story and portrayal. That was well done, and probably the most intriguing part of the story.

Where to Buy

This book is now available, so you can pick up your own copy from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-million, Book Depository, or your local indie bookstore.

Manga Review: One Punch Man Vol 4

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

Welcome to another Manga Monday. I hope you all are enjoying these posts. I know I’m certainly glad that I’m once again starting to post more reviews and content on here. Trying to keep to a regular posting schedule has been good for me, and I’ve managed to get it to where I can write up about a week’s worth of posts in just a couple of days (usually over the weekend and on Tuesday evenings).

Anyway, it is time for my next review for this hilarious parody hero series. Let’s get started.

25784128

Summary

A manga series that packs quite the punch!

Nothing about Saitama passes the eyeball test when it comes to superheroes, from his lifeless expression to his bald head to his unimpressive physique. However, this average-looking guy has a not-so-average problem-he just can’t seem to find an opponent strong enough to take on! Saitama is now a certified hero! And with that title comes great responsibility-he’s required to perform one heroic deed per week. While Saitama makes the rounds to meet his quota, and incoming threat from outer space is screeching toward Earth…

My Thoughts

Rating: 5 stars

So Saitama is now a certified hero…which means he just goes back to his usual boring routine, just waiting for something to show up that might actually be a worthy foe. What I loved about this is that Saitama clearly didn’t pay attention to all the rules and such for certified heroes, because he needs Genos to remind him of his heroic deed quota.

This leads our intrepid protagonist to go on a wild run through the city as he tries to find some sort of criminal activity that he can stop so he keeps his certification. It is much harder than he thinks, which honestly is just amusing. Because in racing around like a crazy person, trying to find trouble, he actually ends up causing citizens to panic, because his actions don’t appear to be those of a hero. Instead he seems like a nervous person up to no-good.

That is one of the things I love the most about this series, how it stands unique among the overpowered superhero genre because it is technically a parody of that theme. I love seeing how they subvert tropes or play along with stereotypes. It honestly makes it even more interesting for readers (or viewers–since I technically started with the show and then started reading these).

So, this is actually a series I’m surprised that I ended up enjoying and picking up. But I would definitely recommend this to others, because it is definitely worth experiencing. And I’m going to have to read some more volumes of this so I can continue to review the series. I need an evening of manga reading, which I might end up doing either tonight or tomorrow. It sounds like a nice way to spend a few hours.

Where to Buy

You can pick up this volume from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-million, Book Depository, or your local indie bookstore.

What I’m Reading (19)

daniellethamasa

Hey all, Dani here.

Happy Wednesday! Although, it has been disgustingly hot and humid where I live for the past few days, so that’s not all that happy. But, today was my last day of work for the week, so now I get a four day weekend, and I’m hoping to get some more reading done, but this weekend is also my fiance’s birthday so he’ll take priority over my books.

Oh, and I should mention that I’m sorry that my Monday and Tuesday posts didn’t show up before today on my blog. I was wondering why I hadn’t received any notifications from them, and that’s when I discovered that I had scheduled them for next week, not this week. So they are on the blog now, a review of My Hero Academia, Vol 6 and a review of Ace of Shades.

Now let’s get into the main content of today’s post, where I talk about the books I’ve finished recently, the books I’m currently reading, and the books I’m hoping to start soon.

When it comes to finishing books, I managed to complete two in the last week, so I’m feeling pretty good about that. One I absolutely loved, and one I liked but it didn’t fully hit the mark for me, but that happens sometimes and I’m okay with that. I will be hopefully getting reviews for both Dread Nation by Justina Ireland, and The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara up soon.

As soon as I finished those books, I started reading another one of my June TBR books, and I am a few chapters in so far, and enjoying it. Not as much as the first book in the series just yet, but I’m still interested. Then I decided to start another one of my Netgalley reads so I can get the review up before the book is released on July 10th. So I am currently reading A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers, and The Supervillain and Me by Danielle Banas. I’ve only read a chapter of Banas’ book so far, but it has the easy writing style of a contemporary…just with superheroes and villains in it, so I think I’m going to really enjoy it.

Finally, there is the most difficult part of these weekly posts…trying to figure out what books I think I’ll want to read next. I think…it might be these two books…

So, I still very much want to read this fantasy Three Musketeers story, because it sounds like a fun, action-packed adventure. Also, I just learned about All of This is True and it is described as perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying, a book I actually ended up really liking last year, so I’m eager to give this one a chance. Overall, I’m not sure if these will be my next reads, but they might be, so that’s good enough for this post now.

What are you guys reading right now? I’d love to know. We can talk about all the books in the comments. That’s all for today, and I’ll be back soon with more bookish content.
