Weekly Media Roundup

[cittasette]

Oh, hey, I get to use my new icon for this :D I still haven't figured out the best way to use icons. Anyway, school's coming up in a little over a week. I don't know whether to be excited or nervous.

What I'm currently reading:

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett. Because a bunch of you recommended that I read this, I'm reading this. It's fun so far. Reading Going Postal first has made me think that Terry Pratchett does chapters, but he doesn't, really.

Red Rising by Pierce Brown. A friend of mine really likes this series. I've only read the first 20 pages so far. Not much to comment about so far, except my brain keeps wincing at the way he uses camel case for names, likeThis. Brain, why are you so nit-picky?

China Wakes by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. Slow going.

Webcomic Recs

Caught up with these two recently. Good stuff.

Heir's Game - When a new heir to the duchy of Belluna comes of age, there is held the Heir's Game: a brutal series of duels to determine the heir's bodyguard. When Theuden, the new heir, meets Isran, a quiet duelist with a mysterious past, their love will threaten to change everything. (LGBTQ, romance, political intrigue)

Lavender Jack - What begins as a simple game of cat and mouse leads the two opposing forces of Detective Ferrier and Lavender Jack down a rabbit hole of mysterious organizations, betrayal, and lost love. (Mystery, thriller, flavors of Holmes/Poirot/Jeeves & Wooster)
