What I’m Reading
I have decided to make lemonade out of the bushel of lemons that was The Dark Tower movie and start on a number of Stephen King books that have Dark Tower-related plots, themes, and characters. (Of course, by “reading”, you will understand that I’m referring to listening to the audio-books. Huzzah for hoarded Audible credits!)
And I’m going to throw in a re-read of The Wind Through the Keyhole, which is the newest book in the series itself. I’ve only read it through one time, so it probably feels pretty lonely compared to the rest of the books.
(I came very close to launching into The Dark Tower series itself, but decided that listening to all seven audio-books again for the second time in one year would be detrimental to the diversity of my current reading list. *Sigh*)
THE TERROR OF TECHNOLOGY IN ‘THE DARK TOWER’ – Fanbase Press Editorial
I have an article over on Fanbase Press today talking about Stephen King’s depiction of technology in The Dark Tower series. Cyborgs, killer trains, and weapons of mass destruction…oh, my!
Also…just a little over 24 hours before I get to go see the movie!
“To commemorate the cinematic premiere of The Dark Tower in theaters today, Fanbase Press is excited to celebrate its fandom through an editorial series that focuses on aspects of Stephen King’s series of books, collectively known as The Dark Tower series.”
Re-reading Quince
“With a great Quince dress comes great responsibility.”
I love comics that show me women I can recognize. Real bodies, real clothes, real friends, real interests…
This week I’m re-reading the Quince series in anticipation of the Issue #5 release on 5/15/17. Go check it out on Comixology or at Fanbase Press website. It’s delightful.

What I’m Listening To – Underground Airlines
Just queued up Underground Airlines by Ben Winters in my Audible app. It’s really good. EXCELLENT narrator.

My review of LUMBERJANES / GOTHAM ACADEMY #4 for Fanbase Press.
What I’m Reading – The Reapers Are the Angels
This is my fourth (or fifth?) read of The Reapers Are the Angels by Alden Bell. One of my favorites. Zombie apocalypse with a little Odyssey and Faulkner thrown in. It’s a great audiobook listen, as well.
Oh, and the prequel, Exit Kingdom, is also on my must-read list.
